Geforce GTX 1060 3GB low benchmarks

[dolbinau]

Hi all,

My GTX 1060 3GB is getting some pretty low benchmarks

4299 overall

47 for DX9

100 for DX10

179 for DX11

20 for DX12 (but don't have 4k monitor)

3657 for GPU compute.

Any ideas?

Thanks

What CPU is in the machine?

I've investigated further, the issue is that my PCI-E 16X is only running at 1X. I can get a band-aid workaround by putting it into the PCI-E 8X port...not sure how to revive the 16X though .

Glad you got to the bottom of it.
Best solution depend on the motherboard, the available slots and what other PCIe cards you are using. (and also depends on why x16 doesn't work).
