my GTX 1060 6GB limits its framerate to about 60 even with vsync disabled in nvidia-settings and the application.
I have testet it with Valley and Heaven Benchmark and Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Regardless of the detail settings the framerate stays between 50 and 80 fps.
I don’t find any settings to disable this behavior.
The card is running in a Manjaro VM with GPU Passthrough inside an Unraid Server.
A Friend has nearly the same setup just with a GTX 970 and has no such problems.
This is odd, clocks are ok but the gpu utilisation never exceeds 50%. Which would normally point to a cpu limitation which can’t be a physical one with 8 xeon cores. What’s the cpu utilisation during gaming/benching?
That was intentional and didn’t make any difference.
And i don’t think its Cpu related because the framerate is always around 60 regardless of the program and settings.
I have tried various things now:
-a GTX 970 from a friend (works fine in his system)
-manually installed driver version 387.22, 390.77, 396.45
-reinstalling the system
-various bios settings
-Ubuntu 18.04 (even worse with just 20-30 fps)
but with everything i tried the problem is the same.
From my research I was lead to believe that it was an issue with V-Sync of V-Blank, so I disabled both through both NVIDIA X Server Settings and CompizConfig Settings Manager without any success.
