I have recently acquired a 6GB GTX 1060. This is the first more modern GPU I've ever owned and I have a couple questions about it. For now I have it paired with a i3 4170, and the performance is a bit underwhelming.
While some games perform well, GTA V can't maintain near constant 60fps at 1080p max settings like I know it's supposed to be able to. It drops to the 30s at times and there's noticeable stutter. It runs about the same even at 720p. Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edtion at max settings 1080p also usually runs at around 40fps even though I'm sure this card should be capable of running the game perfectly. One final example is Obduction, which mostly runs very well, but when moving around the world there's some pretty bad stuttering.
Is this a CPU bottleneck/driver overhead? I'm using it with Windows 7 and the driver version is 472.12 from Sep. 2021, so is there perhaps an older driver that'll run better on this system? Also, I am planning to upgrade the CPU fairly soon, so if this is just normal performance for this i3, it's not a huge deal.
One more thing is that, I don't know if I set my expectations too high, but even with max anti-aliasing enabled in games there is still a bit of jaggyness.
