Same performace when plugged into motherboard vs GPU

[lttuser7]

So I found this a bit strange. I get the same performance, actually a little better when I'm plugged into my motherboard compared to my graphics card?

I'm wondering if this is a thing or what is going on if not. I'm just running Cyberpunk but am getting a little better FPS and better color when running through the motherboard.

Got the 9900K from a friend for cheap.

Well I had an i5-6600K but am waiting for a graphics card. Friend got new build and he gave me his 9900K for $150

oh ok! do you have drivers installed for your 1060?

Yeah and everything is working fine. But when I plug into the motherboard I"m getting like 50fps on medium settings on cyberpunk. So I think the GPU is working which seems weird.

What software is giving you this problem? Are the drivers correctly installed? You might wanna try running a benchmark like unigene superposition to see how things are performing. Also check your temps whilst running the benchmark.

that is weird... can you post a picture of the back of your mobo? with your display cable plugged in?

And on the integrated you also get that performance?

I've just checked running games and looking at FPS. Games run a little better and the color is even better.

Yeah on the motherboard it's better. Color and FPS are better.

This was the wrong video. This is the right one:

You might be having a passthrough happen with the igpu. Again use a benchmark with hard numbers and open msi afterburner to see which gpu is working when the games are open.
