Low performance on R5 1400 and GTX 1060

[Ahmad86]

Hi everyone!

I have a Ryzen 5 1400, GTX 1060 6GB, 1 1TB HDD, 1 128GB SSD. Running Windows 10 64-bit.

Pretty decent right?

Well I get very poor bechmarks, as when I play Fortnite I’m in the 45-60 fps sector and it’s really frustrating. No shadows on. Could my psu be the issue? I have a EVGA 430W (had to buy as a back up but was told it would be enough). Thanks in advance!

No if your PSU is providing power, the unit will work, if it is underpowering, the unit will stop. It won't let it perform worse.

Try to uninstall your GPU drivers and reinstall them. Make sure your monitor is plugged into the GPU ports not the motherboard I/O ports. Also run USERbenchmark.
