Artifacts in game at low temps and low GPU utilization.

[diverofthedeep1]

I have a GTX 1060 6GB and I have over clocked it. I have run Fur mark, Fur Mark with artifact scanner and Unigine Heaven. The problem is in all benchmarks the run perfectly fine no artifacts and high fps, but in games I get artifacts. I have tried lower the clocks increasing fan speed but nothing seems to have worked. In fur mark with artifacts scanner no artifacts are detected after 1 hour of it being left on. In game my temps don't go above 60C and GPU utilization doesn't go above 40%. What could be the issue?
Thanks

What are the rest of your specs? And have you tried multiple games? If the gpu is benching correctly, then it is usually a game specific issue.

I have an I5 760(oc'ed to 3.96GHz) 8GB ram, P55-GD55 MSI motherboard. 650W PSU.
I have tried it on GTAV online, and Citied Skylines.

Oh well it is most likely an unstable OC. Testing OCs in games is basically the final test, and it looks like your's failed. Try dialing back the OC or increasing the voltage a bit.

Should I dial back memory or core clocks? The voltage is at 100% and the power limit is at 116%.

It's usually better to work on the core clock first then memory. This definitely applies here since you are working with plenty of VRAM.

Ok thanks.
