I recently increased my CPU speed to 4.3GHz and my GPU to about 1950Mhz. After running the Unigine Heaven test, I received a score here: https://gyazo.com/2a5bc3311bb131e9ee9eb5a4f2624cdb. It seems my result is a bit below expectations compared to others with similar builds but different GPUs. I have two monitors and tested the benchmark twice—once with both active and once with just one monitor—and both times got identical outcomes. The GPU consistently used 100% of its capacity, while the CPU stayed around 40%. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

use this bench and observe similar outcomes from various tests
[6600 non k / gtx 1060 6gb] ]
http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=adva...Name=Intel
Core i5-6600 Processor & gpuName=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060-6GB
6600k
http://www.3dmark.com/search#/?mode=adva...Name=Intel
Core i5-6600K & gpuName=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060-6GB
just apply the advanced search and input the parameters [cpu/card/test used] to compare extensively
I noticed a benchmarking video of a comparable build (same CPU but different 1060) achieving over 2200 score, which makes me wonder if my result is slightly lower than expected.
It seems I don’t know what the other person might have done or if they adjusted settings to reach that performance?
Websites that verify heaven scores have guidelines on acceptable results due to such adjustments.
These 1060 scores appear more consistent with your actual performance.

I don't know for sure, but it could be that he's using an SSD or has a higher RAM speed than yours...
