hello, im using the zotac gtx 1060 3gb card and with the corei3 6100, while gaming my screen goes black and my fans on my card speeds up, i know why this is happening, i domt have enough power (im using a really cheap psu) as a result i have to limit my tdp to 50%, my clock speeds, strangely though exceeds the gtx 1060 boost clock with 200 mhz even on 50% tdp!!! will this decrease my fps and does tunning out og power damage my card? my performence is worse than it should me but even before this happend. i would appresiate an answer. i am waiting for my new psu to arrive i mjust woorid if this has damaged my gpu??

Overdrawing power from your PSU will risk damaging it, which will put all of your other components at risk. If you're not willing to listen to what someone answering your thread says then why bother making a thread at all?


No, I would not turn it on at all until you have your new PSU. I guess if you consider not blackscreening better FPS, then yes. You have a shit PSU and overdrawing power on it puts you at risk of burning your entire system to the ground, trying to run it at all is extremely stupid.
