Did you wipe your os drive and reinstall Windows when you changed motherboards?

Yeah i've seen alot of ppl with problems with the GTX 1060.
Mine i got 2 times b2 post error after sleep.
First time i removed the GPU and put it back.
Second time i just turn off the power from PSU for a while and then it posted.
I didn't think much of it.
Then the next time i was playing fortnite and after 1 minute the fps dropped less than 10
I was like WTF because on the afterburner everything seemed normal.
Tried on another game(Agony) same story FPS dropped to 0 after a few sec ingame.
Temps were completely normal.
Then i rebooted and got the b2 post error again(of course).
This time i was determined to figure out what causing it.
So i was powering my pc every min while i was dismantling it.
The moment i laid my pc down to remove the GPU it posted.
Now someone may thing that the GPU wasn't mounted well or that there was a screw on the box causing a shortcut but that's not the case.
Crappy hardware is the case IMO.
Anyway since then it works fine.

yeah bro idk what to do i did a valley benchmark test and it went really well with like 90 frames consistently and when i played dayz with my other gpu i still got good frames all around maybe its a bottleneck but my temps seem fine so i dont know i updated all my drivers reinstalled windows im going to try other games and see if its any other but dayz isnt the same the 40 frames feel choppy and not smooth

is your monitor freesync and the radeon was taking advantage of that but the 1060 isnt? thats crazy.

yeh probably not your problem then with that monitor.

freesync is AMD's adaptive sync tech and g-sync is nvidias adaptive sync tech. could cause issues, bt doesnt seem to be the fix here. good luck ill be watching this thread.

If you have the same FPS at high and low settings then your GPU isn't bottlenecking.
Something else is.

what do you think that could be then i run dayz on a ssd and have 8 gigs of ram

Update - i recently played with msi after burner and ive noticed
my cpu usage was low 30s and has dropped lower and higher but never past 45
my gpu also had a very low usage percentage of 25% i think thats what is causing this to happend cause when i left ingame and went into the menu my usage went up for both gpu and cpu very high and my frames jumped to like 160
