What is your gaming resolution, as that will play a factor. If you are running 1080p, you are more CPU limited then GPU, so could be the reason not seeing a major increase. Going 1440p or higher puts the stress more on the GPU. The 2700x is an older GPU, good but still order compared to the new 5000 series AMD CPU's.

What was your FPS prior with your old card?

When you installed the new card, did you do a DDU in Safe Mode to remove all the old drivers before installing? This is recommended with making a GPU upgrade, specially if going from AMD to Nvidia, as an example.

my old fps was like 70-90 with 1050

i use almost 100% of my gpu so it should be more fps with only discord and gta opened

I would boot into safe mode, utilized DDU and do a fresh install of the drivers with the 3060 to see if that makes a difference. If you are using 100% GPU on a 1050, you should be getting better FPS with the 3060, so it leads me to believe it is a driver issue, so a fresh install should help.

how do i do that tho?

This walks you through the process of DDU, though it is taking about fixing a blue screen issue but addresses how to do the DDU, as mentioned.

Why would we want to follow a sticky that goes over how to do it... 🤣 ? Good catch / reference

i did it and it didnt work

Didn't work how?? Didn't see an improvement in FPS with the fresh / clean install of drivers or couldn't get the DDU to uninstall the drivers?

Have you tried lowering your settings to see if FPS improve? If you see no improvement at lower FPS, that means you are more CPU bound so the new GPU isn't making a difference since the bottleneck is the CPU. I'm guessing you might be running 1080p (?), so increasing your resolution will put more stress on the GPU and less on the CPU, if the bottleneck. .

if it didnt work then probably a faulty card or you're running the game too high, gta is a very demanding game on high settings
