28fps 3Dmark performance issues?

[Outfoxed]

Hey guys!

 

So, my current PC that I put together about 2 years ago is still running fine for me in most cases (mostly just play WoW lmao) but im starting to branch out into some more demanding titles while at the same time looking at setting up for game streaming on Twitch. Seeing as how my PC use is shifting into a more demanding category I thought id start trying to optimize my hardware and software. Started off with grabbing razer cortex for a fast and easy clean and then i went and downloaded MSI Afterburner and Kombustor.

 

TLDR is my Kombustor benchmark reports 27fps and 3Dmark reports 28fps, both having drops below 18fps while running. Worried that i might be doing something wrong somewhere.

 

Heres a quick list of my hardware

• Ryzen 5 1600X
• Asus X470-I
• Asus Ryujin 240
• MSI GTX 1060 6GB X
• 2x 8GB Corsair DDR4-3000Mhz
• EVGA 750w PSU
• 250GB Samsung 850evo SSD

Ive done a couple tweaks to my system since running the benchmarks. Changed DRAM frequency from 2133mhz to 3000mhz, Applied an overclock profile to my CPU via Asus BIOS giving me a stable 4.0GHz (i think), Overclocked my GPU by 150mhz core clock and 250mhz memory clock, and ive messed around in the Nvidia control panel (followed a youtube guide?).

 

Besides a slight increase in benchmark score, im not seeing much improvement in FPS. Im thinking maybe 30fps is just the limit for an old 1060 running these benchmarks that have been updated past the specs of its time but i thought it wouldve been capable of at least hitting around the 60fps mark, idk.

 

In any case, im sure someone might have some helpful overclocking tips or just any tips in general to help me squeeze some more performance out of this rig. After many days spent researching and troubleshooting, id be extremely grateful for any help!
