GTX 1060 6GB underperforming...

[Surya_17]

I have a GTX 1060 6gb which gives around 10-20fps in most games at 1080p high settings. I switched my card with a 1050 ti and there was a huge boost in fps. I tried the 1060 in my friend's computer and no change in fps. Help me guys 

Guys I found the reason, it is because my core clock is at 140mhz max, I tried increasing it by MSI afterburner but I couldn't. Mem clocks and temperatures (35c max) are fine.

What brand is the card?  Is there a chance you got a fake?  Download the latest GPU-Z and make sure you don't have the yellow warning triangle.

maybe cooling somewhere? if its a pretty new card rma it. if not, try reapplying thermal paste

Is your PC's power plan set to balanced or high performance (I'm assuming you're using Windows)? Set it to high performance and see what happens.

But it works fine regardless of power plan for 1050 ti

download msi afterburner and see if the clock speed is lower for some reason

Yes the clock speeds are at 140 mhz max and j can't increase it.

Temps are fine max 35c it is the clock speeds that are stuck at 140mhz max

Set it to high the problem is the clock speeds are very low they are stuck at 140mhz max.

Power settings in NVidia control panel 3D settings?

Try overclocking it in MSI Afterburner.

 

Also, wouldn't hurt to pull off the heatsink and make sure you have a real 1060.

It is a original one checked it, it was working fine some time ago. Overclocking does nothing clock speed is stuck at 140 mhz whatsoever never increases or decreases.

sounds like a power supply problem, open the gpuz and check the the readings, also check the pcie operate mode.

[SkilledRebuilds]

You other guys DO know that Nvidia cards can do this when broken.

If it does the SAME thing on another PC....

Then..it's Not a Windows/Driver issue,.. but a HARDWARE ISSUE.

I bought a new power supply and changed it yesterday only still the same problem

Can this be fixed?

When you said you put it in your friends PC.. and no change in FPS is this in comparison (From what YOU had on your pc?) or to his GPU?

 

[SkilledRebuilds]

First thing I'd try is Downloading DDU (DisplayDriverUninstaller) - Removes JUNK TRACES of Crap leftover by drivers/conflicting issues can be sorted.

 

Run DDU

Reinstall Nvidia Drivers

Check GPU-Z while Gaming to see if clocks are still stuck at 139Mhz Core.

 

 

From Reddit -

Open device manager, find your gpu and right click it. Select disable device. After your screens have stopped spaz ing out re-enable it.

This kept happening with my gtx 770 when ARK crashed, it would get locked at like 120mhz and nothing would make it boost up, reboots, reinstalls... Nothing. But a simple disable and re-enable fixed it.

^His Fix may not work, but it may, so I included it.

The gpu was stuck on 140mhz on both computers and games have around 10-20 fps

Tried it, nothing happened same core clocks still

Try it again please

 

Remove GPU drivers with DDU

Install the latest GTX 1060 drivers from Nvidia site.

Did it again bro, still no use. Checked with 1050ti also which works fine but 1060 still stuck at 139 mhz
