Hey everyone. I'm running out of ideas and need some advice. I bought a new M.2 SSD and changed my GTX 970 with my wifes GTX1060 6GB. I did a fresh Windows install and first decided to take the nVidia Studio Driver. Gaming was not possible. When I noticed I took the Studio Driver I changed to the GameReady Driver. So I "upgraded" from GTX 970 to GTX1060 and now Gaming feels less good. I started to monitor with Task-Manager, RealTemp, Afterburner and GPU-Z. So far I noticed that I have Framedrops and High Frametimes sometimes eventho my GPU and CPU is around 70% load. Some examples: World of Warcraft FHD Lowest Graphic Settings (Preset 1, Triple Buffering disabled, DX12, no FPS Lock) is around 130 FPS in World, 80 FPS in Raid, 50-70 FPS when fighting a RaidBoss. CS:GO FHD (Lowest Graphic Settings, no FPS Lock): FPS Average above 200 but still sometimes little lags and Frametimes of 5000 ms. Battlefield V FHD lowest Graphic Settings: around 80 FPS around, and 45-65 FPS in Action. Games simply doesn't feel really comfortable. I don't have to much struggle in CS:GO but even WoW makes me having a hard life when I have lags and Screwing my Rotations which leads to loosing DPS. What would you guys start monitoring in order to analyze if anything is broken? I'm home in around 8.5 hours. I could start monitoring while gaming and upload some data. I apreciate every help.

I thought about: Reinstall Graphic Driver (3rd Time), Monitor FPS+Frametime+CPU Load+GPU Load+CPU Temp+GPU Temp > Uninstall Graphic Driver, Switch GPU back to GTX 970 > Do the same monitoring a gain. If there is no change, get back on the GTX 1060 and fully reinstalled Windows again. #Update 1: added bench1.png - This was a monitoring after reinstalling Drivers using DDU and playing a WoW Dungeon (5 People). Personal feeling was it runs smoother then before. #Update 2: added bench2.png - This was a monitoring after reinstalling Drivers using DDU and playing a WoW Dungeon Warfront (30 People). Personal feeling: this felt just like before But those 30 Man stuff mostly is not really optimized. I tabbed out 2 or 3 times which will cap the game on 30 FPS. Maybe some FPS drops are explained due to tabbing out. #Update 3: #Update 4: added 3DMark Benchmarks Time Spy: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/44443520? Fire Strike: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/44443763?

Okay, so my conclusion is: Use DDU for uninstalling driver and never use the studio driver

Today the game felt so great. I mean yeah I had still some spikes and issues but that's based on the game (WoW). So really thank you both for helping me out. For fun I did 3DMark Benchmarks on my wifes PC (GTX 970 + i5) just to have a compare and it looked pretty fine. So I don't think my CPU/GPU is not running on max performance. The old gentlement just looking forward to their retirement at the end of the year
