Hi,

I just got the Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB and for the first few days it was working well . My score on 3D Mark Time Spy was just shy of 4000. Now, my system isn't making it past 1700. I'm also noticing frame rate drops in all games that used to perform well. After first starting the system I could achieve the score 4000, but if I ran the benchmark again after 30 minutes, the score would be down to 1700. Now I cannot get it back to 4000 at all.

I monitored the temperatures and they don't go above 70 degrees, so I believe it is unlikely to be temperature related. I have also downloaded the Aorus Engine software for Gigabyte, and put played around with the default overclock settings, this didn't really alter my score. (When I was scoring 4000 it was in gaming mode) Any help would be really appreciated.
