GTX 1060 Poor performance

[parani]

Hi guys, i bought a EVGA gtx 1060 paired with i7 4790k. The clock speeds never going beyond the 732mhz core and 850mhz memory , what may be the problem?

 

[parani]

the common solution to this problem is to set the power plan to 'high performance' in the Nvidia control panel.

Yeah i already set that , if i connect my secondary PSU(350w) seperately for GPU, when i start the game, Display turns off but fan runs at extreme speed, but if i disconnect the secondary psu and connect with only 450w psu, game starts but runs slowly

wait a minute, do you connect the PCIe 6pin connector after the computer is turned on?

no, first i turn on the pcie power supply , the only i turn on the system

ok so which PSU are you using?

Enter 450w psu(primary) and Dell 350w psu(secondary)

Those PSUs are not capable of running the GTX 1060.
you need to upgrade your PSU.

Ohh ok, im running an ASUS gtx 750ti, so i thought i will run the gtx 1060 too, how many watt psu to buy

 

[parani]

you shouldn't just consider the wattage of the PSU while buying one. the efficiency and quality matter too.

the Seasonic S12II-520 is a very good PSU both in terms of quality and performance.
or you can buy a Corsair RM550 which i personally have and it is modular.

How good are these two http://mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&path=&product_id=3374

these two PSUs are from seasonic. maybe you saw some other expensive seasonic PSU. the Seasonic S12II-520 is enough for your PC. http://mdcomputers.in/index.php?route=product/product&path=&product_id=3374

okiee, thank you very much

Using two PSUs is rare, however these two PSU have plenty of power for a GTX 1060. The GTX 1060 is only 120Watts. Do you have a ref saying WHY you think the strange system of two PSUs is a problem ? Here is a ref showing GTX1060 is 120W http://www.geforce.com/hardware/10series/geforce-gtx-1060

(I am not a fan of the two PSUs. The PSU you ref is a good one. I'd just like to understand how you concluded that " Those PSUs are not capable of running the GTX 1060. " so the OP knows WHY they are buying a new PSU.

but any idea, why does the pc turns off while gpu fan running at extreme speed at 2psu combination?

maybe the PSU is not supplying the power to the card in a stable and consistent manner.
about that Enter 450W PSU, most good quality PSUs have a efficiency of at least 80% . so 80% of a 450W is 360W. your Enter PSU could be providing less than that.

the card recieves it's power first from the motherboard i.e 75W. next from the PSU it requires around 45W. your motherboard is powered by the Enter PSU's 12V rail while your card is powered by the Dell PSU's 12V rail. maybe this is what is causing the instability.

okie, but the gtx 750ti (Asus ) runs without any problem in the same dual psu config, not sure how much watts it uses though

most of the GTX 750ti need only 75W of power and rely only on the motherboard for power. some overclocked versions need a 6pin power connector. but even then they use power between 75-100W. the 1060 requires more power.

oh okiee

Can you post your PCs full specs ?

The 350W PSU is close to supplying your PC all by itself.
120W for gtx 160 (not OC'd)
88W for i7 4790k (not OC'd)
25-50W for rest of PC.

Maybe swap the 450 and the 350 and see if the system is OK.

Strongly agree with GamerBoy that a bad 450W PSU can give bad voltage as low as 200W or less. It's not a bad idea to swap in a better PSU. The seasonic is not a bad one, that is the only brand I know use.
