While playing battlefield 1 on my gtx 1060 i only pull around 40-50 frames in combat. Its very frustrating because i spent a lot of money on this build and really underperforms. Zotac GTX 1060 AMP! Is my card or CPU defective?

Hello
BF1 with dx12 is an Nvidia killer, but not in that sense. Right now Nvidia gets nothing out of dx12.
When the dx12 came out on Civ VI my rx480 started pulling +18FPS, note that on dx11 i was already having the same fps as a gtx 1060. And on BF1 i got +16FPS when switching to dx12.
The thing is dx12 uses all the features of the graphic card meaning, dx12 uses the async compute to normalize and improve usage of the resources, right now cude core cant do anything to async compute, the software solution that nvidia gave is crap.
So my advise if make sure you have dx11 running on all those games that already support dx12.
Maybe the next gen 11XX will have support for dx12, until then keep using dx11.



It's 1080p
 




Its at 1080p. GPU Usage sat around 60 after 5 min of playing at Fan speed at 100. The CPU usage was oddly at 100 which is unusual.

 


That would suggest bottleneck.. Dont think that should happen with a 1060 though.
 


Yeah i've tried everything possible. But how would my i5 bottleneck the 1060 or vice versa? This shouldn't be a problem! 🙁
 


How would I go about doing that?. I have a h110-k Mobo. Also over clocking will shorten the lifespan. Also idk if my cards getting to hot it was running about 72c. I have micro atx

 
1. H110 Mobo with an unlocked CPU? seriously?
2. if you are afraid of decreasing lifespan with overclocks why did you buy an unlocked CPU?
3. even if the board was H110 with an i5-6500, the game shouldn't run like this. there is almost no difference (1-2FPS) in gaming between an i5/i7.
4. how is your performance in other games? if it is only in BF1 you have your problem. a lot of people have complained about performance with this game even with 6800K! it is a bad console port and they should have come with a fix a long time ago!
5. your card is heating up and hitting 100% full fan speed at 60% utilization, there is a problem there that has nothing to do with the CPU. try to update every single driver/game/client and test with other games!
 


Yeah i just ran RivaTuner and the CPU Usage was at 99-100 at all times. Strange. Is this a problem with my CPU? My cooler is sorta trash. Its a coolermaster T2
 


Temps?
 


I have the same problems of this guy, cpu 90-100%, gpu usage max 40%. I5 4690K 4.4GHZ + GTX 1060 STRIX. I don't know how to fix but some ppl say that RAM are the problem.
 


I have at video it doesnt go past 52C https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xJB1uBKu64&t=310s
Also take a look at this. Idk if those comparisons are overclocked. Is this Normal? http://valid.x86.fr/bench/3ws5m8

All the benchmarks Ive seen have shown the 480 and 1060 6gb are basically equal in DX12. Each has games and resolutions where it beats the other. The 1060 dominates in DX11. I'd hardly call that a crap solution
