My GTX 1060 keeps on stuttering/spiking up and down while trying to play games such as For Honor.

In MSI Afterburner, the GPU usage keeps on spiking up and down. From 0-100. It is impossible to play!! The framrate keeps dropping! Ill show a vid below.

I need help and a solution to resolve this issue so I can play games.

Cpu: i7 6700k

MB: Gigabyte Z170 Gaming

Gpu: GTX 1060 MSI ARMOR 6G

RAM: CORSAIR VENGANCE ddr4 16g

240G ssd

1T hard drive

Game runs good at 60-80 fps but the usage keeps spiking, creating lag spikes every 2 seconds and rendering the game unplayable,

The GPU is connected to the PCIE X8 slot since wires are blocking the x16 one

 

I have reinstalled and uninstalled drivers multiple times. Ram speed is 2600mHz and I disabled Windows Gamee Bar.

that might be the issue too, always use 16x for your main GPU. Gpu is sending more then the slot can take so it comes in waves.

Ok I will try that. If it doesn't work, do you have any other suggestions. The GPU usage just wont stay at 90-100.

Make sure you have the latest drivers?, Also make sure that both of the fans are running as they should. If you let windows 10 install your drivers uninstall them and download GeForce Experiance and get your drivers from there. As windows doesnt always get the best ones.

x8 isn't gonna be a bottleneck at all in this day and age.

 

OP, what are CPU and GPU temps as well as usage at? How about DRAM and VRAM usage?

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

its not. even 4x is more than enough for a single card.
