Msi Gtx 1060 gaming x 3gb low fps

[mickbakker05]

For some reason my 1060 that i bought about 3 months ago i seem to be having thsi probelm since then
i always have gpu usage drops to 0% which keeps freezing or crashing games i have tried ddu sadly no improvement

full specs
i5 2400 @ 3.3Ghz
6Gb Ram
Gtx 1060 3gb gaming x
430w psu is this the issue

GTX 1060 is very power frugal, but old or weak PSU's are often the cause of random freezes.

What exactly is the PSU, the wattage is fine, but generic PSU's never put up the wattage they claim to.

It is this one i bought it off marktplaats aka the dutch craigslist

be quiet! Pure Power L7 430W

 

[Mark RM]

That is considered to be a good PSU. Do you have any means of testing your platform with another power supply?

Are all system temperatures staying in check?

 

[mickbakker05]

all my temps are ok and the only other psu on hand is a 250w psu from an OEM

 

[Mark RM]

yeah that 250 isn't something I'd attach to a valuable computer.

Getting a PSU and checking out if that's the problem would be my number area of investigation here because the problems are occurring when you go under load with 3D gaming. It's usually NOT the graphics card, though they do fail.

But could it be my overclock its +150 on the gpu and +550 on the memory is it the power or the overclock

 

[mickbakker05]

my i5 pulls max 85w

 

[mickbakker05]

Uhhhmm my power draw from my 1060 is 170w that 250 psu wont work

 

[Mark RM]

definitely bring that OC down on the core of the video card, I have a pile of 1060's I mine with , I tend to not take the core over 100, the RAM is probably fine though, but you need to bring those back to stock and see if the issue clears up.

Try bringing it back to stock settings then follow some of the guidse here for carefully and incrementally finding out what you max stable OC is.

still wont work normally tho even in phantom forces it laggs

 

[Mark RM]

still wont work normally tho even in phantom forces it laggs

but what's causing the lag, is your CPU getting pegged at 100%. Are you gaming at 1080p?

 

[mickbakker05]

No my i5 2400 provides plenty of power always sits under 70%

And yes i am gaming in 1080p

 

[Mark RM]

This just seems weird, I know I said your PSU is supposed to be a decent model, but something is introducing a stability problem here.

Yeah ikr and MSI OCSS isn't helping either

Could it be my hdd that isn’t plugged into one of those fast slots on my z77 fatal1ty performance

 

[Mark RM]

I can't see that making a difference , easy to swap the port though if you want to try it

 

[mickbakker05]

The problem is the sata cable is like 0.5cm too short

 

[mickbakker05]

now i have a cooler master masterwatt lite 700W psu the issue is still there

Disable superfetch
https://www.technipages.com/windows-enable-disable-superfetch

and disable windows fast startup.

Type Control Panel in the search box.
Click Control Panel.
Click Power Options.
Click Choose what the power buttons do.
Click Change settings that are currently unavailable.
Scroll down to Shutdown settings and uncheck Turn on fast startup.
Click Save changes.



And test that.

Have you tried (for the sake of argument) running phantom forces with the onboard video for a test? I mean remove the GPU, unplug the monitor from it, and attach the video cable to the motherboard instead. Yeah it's slower but it should still run that game and let us get the PC isolated from the GPU for a test.

well i will get a 1080 ti from a friend for free ima see if that fixes the issue

 

[Mark RM]

Uninstall all the MSI motherboard software, it's known to cause problems.

MSI Afterburner for the GPU is fine.

Ok so i have been using my pc for i while now, my cooler is a lot better now its a thermalright silver arrow ib-e extreme
So i overclockedmy i5 to 3.8 ghz on all cores which is always under 60 degrees celcius while gaming
I have 10 gigs of ram now
BUT my 250gb and 500gb drives are running 400ms on average pretty sure its not suppuosed to be like this
I have 1x Seagate ST3250410AS 250GB and 1x Seagate ST3500418AS 500GB these are not in RAID
And the S.M.A.R.T status is good and I still have those lagg spikes

And my friend yeah he is just lying he doesn't have a 1080 ti or i9
