What's the make and Model number of your PSU ? Also, provide FULL PC specs. Are you gaming on 1080p ? What's the brand/make of the GTX 1060 ??

This PSU might be the culprit. Looks like some generic model, and an entry-level budget PSU. Not meant for heavy gaming loads, but for home and office system usage. Replace this PSU as early as possible.

Try to get some other high quality PSU, if possible. Power supplies are an imperative part of your system that should not be taken lightly. Throwing in a budget PSU could result in poor power efficiency or even a wrecked system.

Don't SKIMP on the PSU,, since this is the MOST important PC component. I can't stress this enough.

Do me a favor, on gpuz where it says bus interface click on the question mark, a box will pop up running a small video. let it run for a couple of seconds and close it. Then post up the first page of that creen shot after you click the question mark.

When I got the money I'll do so and if i remember I'll update the thread with results

I'm sorry maybe I wasn't clear I need to see the bus interface readout after you click on the question mark.

Yes it did it went from 16 at 1.1 to 16 at 3.0 Pcie speed. so that isn't the problem

 

[Fix_that_Glitch]

So what are you using to control the graphics card? Afterburner etc?

So do you think my performance is linked to low power?

I dont

No if it was power it wouldn't work not just underclock your gpu clock speed.

 

[Fix_that_Glitch]

ok try downloading msi afterburner and install it. Then we can try to bring your gpu clock back up to speed.

I have MSI Afterburner downloaded i just don't know how it works

I know I am a pain but can you screenshot your nvida control panel 3d settings?

You need to change that PSU. The power supply might be cause of this problem, at least in my opinion. That PSU model, is not meant for heavy gaming loads, but for home and office system usage. Replace it as early as possible.

Why are you IGNORING my suggestion ?? I don't see any other reason for the low GPU clocks.
