Posted September 13, 2016 So I built my first gaming of a few weeks ago and I have the MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G and I see people with a 1060 getting 400 fps and more on maxed settings. I'm hovering around 250 fps to 290 fps. Is there something wrong with my gpu?

Kids with a 1920x1080p screen are gonna perform better. i5-8600K - Asus Strix Z370E - Asus GTX 1060 Strix - EVGA 650W P2 - Samsung 970 Pro 500GB - G.Skill TridentZ 16GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 13, 2016 Stupid question: did you make sure to UNCAP your framerate by setting it to 0?

Your frame right is more then overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
