I see quite an amount of ppl complaining about low fps with the 1060, only they have an i5 or i7. Even there people are saying it's the CPU bottlenecking the GPU. How can this be? How much does this GPU demand of the CPU. It seems so unlikely. This is so frustrating. I'm considering taking the...

I will do it tomorrow when I'm back from work. But if the games aren't stressing my computer, why isn't the card utilizing itself 100% to perform better? And will I ever get confirmation that it is the processor bottlenecking, or will it forever be a speculation? Because if it is, that...

I added a new picture where you can see CPU usage during gaming, along with stats from GPU-Z. As you can see the CPU works at 85-90% utilization. Can it be bottlenecking then? If so, wouldn't it be at 100%?

Is there any way to know this for sure? The i3 6100 Skylake is not yet one year old. Can it really be having trouble already?

Update number 2: my PC is for the first time ever acting strange. Twice I've had to force restart it pressing the power button on the cabinet. This happened after I uninstalled drivers and reinstalled. This is really weird.

Well, it's not looking good. Here are three pictures from the Tweak II software (link to Imgur). As you can se the usage is only at about 50% :( The fans only kick in at one time. There is more info I can post if it will help get a bigger picture. After the two first tests I reinstalled...

Fingers crossed!

Thanks. I will check it when I get home from work. If it's lower, does that mean it's getting bottlenecked?

Thank you for your answer, Jaydip. Yeah, I installed Tweak II. Maybe I can see the utilization there. If not I'll download GPU-Z. Just to be sure I understand correctly, am I looking for the percentage of GPU utilization during gaming? What should it be?

Sorry, I don't know what that means. Can you explain?

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...
