Is there a problem with my GPU?

Hey guys, don't know much about PC's, but I'm getting no where near the FPS I should be getting.

So basically in January I bought a 1060 and popped it in my computer and I was getting great FPS. Something like 130 on H1Z1 on low settings.

One day around a month ago I got on and my FPS is now barely 30 on it. I'm getting around 100 FPS on CS and around 80 FPS on Overwatch. My frames are absolutely awful. All my drivers are updated, and I have no idea why they're down and they never went back up. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers, I even fac reset my comp and reinstalled windows. I also tried an old driver off Nvidia's site.

I'm not sure what information you guys need. I'll respond to any question with answers.

My CPU is an AMD A10-6800k APU with Radeon HD Graphics 4.10

RAM is 10GB

This is the exact Graphics Card I bought https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01IPVSLTC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Is there a reason why my FPS has been absolute shit? My old built in GPU did about as good.
 
Solution
did you use tech power up's GPU Z as a measuring means to see if your graphics card is the bottleneck versus the CPU (or apu) as the bottleneck (via CPU-Z). and don't be confused. what is your monitor and graphical settings? also is h1z1 in beta? sometimes a patch can really hinder performance.
depends on your graphics drivers. make sure you use ddu (driver display uninstaller) under safemode. remove all AMD related graphics. Don't upgrade over currently installed drivers (let me simplify, IF YOU UPDATE OVER INSTALLED DRIVERS, THEY CAN CONFLICT > OLD VS NEW). This means updates can degradate performance. Rather do clean installs, and don't do updates on drivers.

 
I already uninstalled any AMD related graphics. I'm just confused as to why it would have an all of a sudden drop like this. I've tried overclocking it, but to no avail, not much changed. Is there a way to find the problem?

I'll try this right now. My settings are on low but my FPS across all my games is cut in half.
 


How do I measure the bottleneck?
