etremely low 2D performance of my nVidia GTX 1060 6GB

[Frits37]

My first post here. I just ran the PassMark performance test for my PC. It's not a high performance one:
Intel i7 2600
16GB RAM
nVidia GTX 1060 6GB
240Gb SSD

The one result that really surprised me was the 2D score of the 1060: a meager 15 points, where in comparison (PassMark rating) a GTX 1060 with 3GB scored 432 points.

Any ideas what's causing this?

It sounds like you are using Windows 7?

Some 2D test scores and the 2D mark value in older versions of Windows (eg Windows 7) will be far lower in PerformanceTest V10 as it isn't possible to scale meaningfully when multiple tests can't be run. See the FAQs, "2D results are low for Windows 7 when using PerformanceTest V10?",

Make sure your GPU is in a PCI x16 slot; I had mine on a PCI 2.0 x1 for years....very low 2D score back then
