i5 4590 GTX 1060 3GB bottleneck

Hi I want to downclock my Gpu to prevent bottlenecking in cpu intensive games but I’m not sure what speed to put it at. If someone could help me that would be great.

you wont help anything by downclocking your gpu, as it does by itself when its not as much in use.
all i'd advise you to do is reduce the fan if you're looking for some silence, 80 degrees should be fine

Ok,

I am wanting to downclock my Gpu because for example in fortnite my cpu is at 100% usage and my Gpu is only at 50% usage.

there is absolutely no benefit downclocking in that case, or for your needs i presume afterall. It will not bring your cpu usage down, besides gpu would still stay at 50% just wont be as efficient as it would before the downclock.
don't do it, no benefits, just slightly lower fps if noticable.

what would help is to overclock the cpu, since its not a k series chip you could only do bclk overclocking which you should research first

get a 8 thread cpu (xeon e3-1270v3 or i7 4770)
