GTX 1060 3GB DUEL OC drop frame

first i updated my bios and chips and drivers but same problem
then i said maybe there is virus then i format my pc and still
so i dont have any programs, just windows update
 
1) Userbenchmark gave me an incorrect score BTW. It said a GTX1070 was "100%" (the baseline) yet I got something like 79%

2) CPU:
Okay the R5-1400 isn't too bad... but do other people with similar CPU's have the same results, or do they have better CPU's?

WHAT CPU DOES YOUR FRIEND HAVE?

3) Are the settings EXACTLY the same in the game? (resolution, AA, shadows, DX11 etc)

i dont know what is my friend cpu but im sure is shit cpu
check my screen shout lowest setting and 60-70 frame...
its not only wow
far cry primal
rise of tomb raider
im playing them on medium setting 50-60 frame
 
in that manage 3d settings click program settings
find your game in the first dropdown box
once found click the game to select it
in the next dropdown box it should say "use global settings (auto-select: NVIDIA GPU) if not then open the box and select "high performance NVIDIA processor"
 


ye i did but still, i dont know why im getting 61% bench on my GPU avg pple 68%
 


that benchmark sucks. It gave me a score that made no sense.

Not sure what the issue is unless it is CPU, though I would not use GLOBAL SETTINGS. You have anti-aliasing set there and you should use the GAME for that, or for games that need it forced on set on the next tab for that program SPECIFICALLY ("add game").

I suggest you RESTORE the global settings.

*Please give your system main specs:
1) CPU (and frequency if overclocked)
2) Windows version (i.e. W10 64-bit)
3) system memory amount and frequency (i.e. 2x4GB 2133MHz DDR3)... note I said 2x4GB which is 8GB but it shows if you're in Dual Channel or not which may matter for some CPU's

To TEST:
CPU:
Open Task Manager, then Prime95 (download that) and test all cores/threads. For example, if G4560 should show four graphs in the CPU->Performance of Task Manager.

Now run P95 long enough to see you get close to 100% and that the frequency seems correct (usually 200MHz or so below the MAX TURBO value such as 3.7GHz if Max Turbo is 3.9GHz.

GPU:
Run Unigine Heaven benchmark, and use MSI Afterburner or whatever ASUS has that allows you to see both of the following:
a) GPU usage, and
b) GPU frequency

Your GPU usage should be about 95% (except changing scenes) and GPU frequency should be over 1800MHz likely. Possibly over 1900MHz.

If so your GTX1060 is working fine.

*If the above is all working (CPU and GPU) and you have sufficient memory then I'd say it's either:
a) game settings, or
b) that FPS is correct for your CPU (I doubt it's the GPU)
 
also, I haven't played WOW for two years, but when I did I had a worse GPU. my system was:

i7-3770K @4.4GHz, and GTX680 2GB

*I was playing at 2560x1440, everything maxed (or close to it) and getting mostly 60FPS.

When the FPS dropped below 60FPS I'm not sure if it was my CPU (which is still pretty good) or that older video card.

The fact that your GRAPHICS SETTINGS are so low suggests to my your CPU is the problem
 
GPU TEST EXACT:

(first set GLOBAL SETTINGS back to default or your results will be wrong)

1. download and run Unigine HEAVEN
2. in the popup window, put in these EXACT values
- DX11
- stereo 3d DISABLED
- ..HIGH
- .. EXTREME
- .. 16
- .. 8x
- fullscreen CHECKED
- 1920x1080

3. start then run the BENCHMARK
4. note the AVERAGE FPS

Your average FPS should be roughly: 70FPS

plus or minus depending on overclock on mine versus yours. Say 65 to 75FPS range.

*This test doesn't require a very powerful CPU, so it's meant to isolate the GTX1060 3GB card to see if it's working properly. Unless your CPU is really, really slow it shouldn't be an issue.
 


Prime95 test my cpu was running 98%
>>>>
then i did test with Unigine HEAVEN medium setting 65 FPS avrg
and high setting was 46 FPS avrg
