Hi,
Two days ago I purchased an ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 Dual OC with the intent of improving my fps in gaming. I bought a new computer a year ago (budget PC, specs below) to be able to play Counter Strike:GO with more than 60 fps. I kept my old graphics card, a GTX 760 2GB, since I knew it would be good enough for CS:GO. It worked perfectly, giving a steady 300+ fps.
However when I moved on to other games, specifically H1Z1 King of the kill, it would not suffice - running just 50-90 fps, depending on the grapichal environment. I have a 140Hz monitor, and I figured it's a waste to play with it on this fps. So... I bought the 1060.
BUT - after installing it, it only gives me 90-150 fps in H1Z1. I was dissappointed for sure, as I'm looking for a steady 140+. However, I know H1Z1 is not optimized and is currently having know fps issues after a recent update. So I figured I'll wait to judge after they fix it (if they ever do).
The real surprise came when I fired up CS:GO. The fps varies HUGLY from 180-300. I run it on low graphics and 4:3, exact same settings as my old GTX 760, which pulled a steady 300+.
What's going on here? Did I make a bad purchase? Is my Processor bottlenecking my card?
I'm considering going back to the store and changing it to a GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X 6GB or a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB STRIX Gaming.
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
My specs:
Intel Core i3-6100 Skylake
Socket-LGA1151, Dual Core 3.7GHz, 3MB
