Hey, I recently bought 1060 g1 gaming rev2 6gb and on GTA v online my fps drop to 40 many times when Im in the city and with some peopeople around me. Cpu:ryzen 1400 ram 8gb 2400.
P.S i play on very high. Antialiasing 2x reflecting mssa off and advanced graphics all off.

I don't think you have a bad motherboard for the situation but you better change your psu because it is very old and check if you cpu is bottlenecking the gpu(even if its a little bottlenecking)

PSU:

or if you want to spent a little bit more money

It's known to happen with any card with any kind of AA turned on and it can also be caused by slow disk access when in cities with lots of disk reads. It's not CPU bound normally.

I fixed this for my two boys by setting up a striped set of Hard drives only for game storage so that games that need disk access mid game get double the amount of heads to read from. While RAID 0 exponentially increases the chance of losing data, they're only game files and can literally be downloaded again or even cross loaded from the other kids PC in the event of failure.
 
First the RAM you have isn't the problem 100% because it is the most used and powerful RAM so lets get this out the way.Second the CPU you have its pretty strong so we don't have to be concerned about a bottleneck (this cpu can hold a GTX 1080 so 100% not bottleneck with the CPU).Third don't even think about the your GPU.It can play every game on ultra settings with very high on current clock and memory clock speed so don't be bothered about that at all.I don't know though if the problem is your hardrive or the temperature of you CPU or the whole PC.That means I want more information about your pc so I can help you :)
 


What res are you playing at?

There are a few things that could be holding you back.
1. The game is poorly optimised - you can even have big FPS drops with a GTX1080 at 1080p res.
2. Your CPU is decent, but if at stock, an OC will help you increase FPS (only by about 5-10%) but still an increase.
3. 8gb of system ram is starting to show it's age, specially at 1080p, which is where most people game at. BF1, Desinty 2, Wolfenstein II all use upward of 8gb at 1080p. 16gb is now the sweetspot for gaming where 8gb used to be.
4. In game settings - Everything at very high in that games will lead to dips in FPS. To maintain 60fos average you may have to dial back settings a little. Look at AA/AF, post processing, SSAO, HDR, motion blur. These all have a big impact on FPS.

 
CPU and GPU should be strong enough, have you overclocked the CPU a little? Try these settings as they offer the best performance from my time tweaking and working out the bugs over the years. Are you monitoring heat? It's possible to that the CPU might be throttling at some point due to it.

..................These have the largest Impact.......................

MSAA and TXAA = OFF Try FXAA it has the least impact with Nvidia cards. I think I might have forgot that the last time someone asked.

Post-FX Quality= High

Shader Quality= High

Shadow Quality= High

Reflection Quality= Medium

Grass Quality= High.. turning it off makes a large impact out of town.

..................These have less of a impact..............................

Particles Quality..... Moving from Normal to Very High only nets about 5fps

Tessellation Quality... Moving from Max to Off only nets about 4fps

Texture Quality... Moving from Very High to Normal nets about 4fps

Distance Scaling..Fps gains are very little from Min to Max

Shadow Smoothness= Use PCSS for Nividia cards.

Anisotropic Filtering= Seems to have low to no FPS gain so feel free to max it out.
 
AMD has long been known to bottleneck GPUs without showing 100% CPU utilization. GTAV is CPU intensive. Ryzen 5 1400 is not as strong as you all are letting on. There are certain situations in which it will give a slight bottleneck to a GTX 1060, and GTAV in heavily populated areas is one of those situations.

As mentioned above, the right settings will help. I found the best settings for my GTX 1060 6Gb and posted a video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKRqJTuXr2w

See Ryzen 5 1400 vs 1500X vs 1600 + GTX 1060 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plww0W1cWyw

OC'ing would likely help also.

I doubt is PSU is causing him any issues, he would be having random shutdowns that would relate to a issue. His supply isn't fantastic but it also isn't bad either and he isn't any where near taxing it. Hard drives do not influences FPS only boot and load times.
 


What PSU, Mobo, CPU and GPU, underpowered can produce consistent low FPS.
But I might overdo about his PSU because it is old and I'm very considered about this because in so many years his psu be damaged from something (Like weather condition) or this psu is so old for the new generation or it might gave everything it got from so many years of use.
 
This is the only review I could read and used the appropriate equipment.

That series launched 5 years ago I doubt it is that old though and he isn't even pushing it anywhere near it's limit. From that it looks like a decent unit, newer CPU's and GPU's are using less power btw.
