Zotac GTX 1060 Mini FPS drops (Core clock drops)

[MysterySlender]

I have some FPS drops lately so I downloaded MSI Afterburner with on-screen stats and I saw when I have those FPS drops my GPU core clock drops to 1506MHz when the average is 1911MHz

that is because of that card's single fan cooler. your card heats up and to prevent damage caused by overheating it throttles its own performance and slows down.
use Afterburner and note down the GPU and CPU temperatures and post them on the thread.

GPU temps:
Min: 40C
Max: 75C
Avg: 64.4C

CPU temps:
Min: 41C
Max: 60C

I got the Arctic MX-4

And how I run a stress test on the GPU? and can I use my PC for the 6 hours?

 

[MysterySlender]

Do I need to watch my PC will doing this? Is it safe just going and keeping the test running?

 

[MysterySlender]

Do I need to configure something for the stress test?

I just read an article about IObit Malware Fighter causes FPS drops and I think the FPS drops started at the same time when I installed it
I will also do the GPU stress test just in case and I will let you know what cause the problem

I have the same card too. Your Max GPU Temp is 75? Is it running on full load? how long are you running it?

Use Furmark and click on "Burn-in Benchmark 1920x1080 15min" run until finished and state the max temp.

My Max temp on it is 83c on 100% fanspeed. check yours..

I did a GPU stress test for 15 min, results(max):

GPU temp: 74.0C
GPU core clock: 1898MHz
GPU load: 99%
Fan speed: 66% (2004RPM)
GPU memory clock: 2003.4 (On the Zotac website its says 8GHz)

Well that's an interesting temp.. reviews said regarding this card saying that on max gpu load it reaches 80c whereas your card is only 74c. Your using MSI Afterburner? whats your temp limit there?

okay.. in the clocks tab, whats your temperature target? if possible send a screenshot of your clocks tab in zotac firestorm.
