I've got a P106-100 with GTAV running too slowly on some high and low settings. Anyone have a 1060 that can deliver smooth, all-low-frame performance while gaming? My current setup uses driver 430, but it has a stubborn bug that prevents Steam from opening properly—so I'm curious if boosting the FPS helps. If so, do you know whether the driver fixes are worth it?
GTA V experiences odd behavior when attempting to surpass a specific frame rate, leading to noticeable stuttering and potential performance limits. The target number is likely in the upper 100s, suggesting you might hit this issue at lower settings. Avoid exceeding it; don’t stress if you can’t reach it. Increase settings to boost load, slightly reduce FPS, and check if performance remains stable. Aim for around 1060—most “normal” configurations should still yield 60–90+ FPS. Driver updates may offer minor improvements, but significant gains are unlikely unless they address system-specific problems.
NVIDIA drives behave oddly, boosting performance at times and failing others. They often lose stability with each update, which could be personal. If you're facing this, go ahead with an update, but if it doesn’t help, perform a DDU and reinstall the previous version.
The latest driver is usually the most up-to-date version, which tends to provide the best performance. Your frame rate looks just right. If the specific settings you're using affect the game's behavior, you might drop below 20 fps. Some players with a Titan Xp achieved around 22 fps at 1080p. Each setting has a big impact compared to resolution. Experiment with different configurations until you discover your ideal frame rate, and enjoy the game! Want higher FPS? Consider upgrading your graphics card.
I wouldn’t assume you’re familiar with this topic unless you’ve been there within the past year. Early after launch it’s possible, but not currently. Still, it’s usually a good idea to test the latest driver just in case. When it comes to settings, keep in mind that certain adjustments significantly impact frame rate, while others don’t necessarily affect visuals. Make sure you’re evaluating all options in both the standard menu and the advanced settings. I own an R9 Fury that’s quite comparable to a 1060, achieving solid performance above 60 and even reaching 90 in some cases. Also pay attention to overclocks and other elements like CPU power that influence speed. It seems you likely have a mining card, so it probably comes pre-configured for efficient operation rather than peak performance. You may need to increase power limits, boost voltage and clock speeds, etc., to match what an ordinary 1060 would do. Have you checked benchmarks outside the game? This can help you ignore one major factor (the game). Lastly, be cautious of dubious or untrustworthy sources. I usually rely on reputable channels like Gamers Nexus, but don’t trust just anyone with limited feedback and potential bias—those details often remain hidden.
in most games other than GTA, I experience standard frame rates. I have two references showing 1080p GTA 1060 achieving much higher numbers than mine. also take into account my system specs: 16GB RAM, only a few settings fully enabled, and an 8086k processor. https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCGame/FPS...ax.1080p.0 and this section seems confusing. https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCGame/FPS...ow.1080p.0 I receive 180 fps in-game during gameplay, not just during benchmarks. As the title suggests, the numbers are extreme and consistent across tests.
