Hi to you guys, hope all of you are fine!
Don't know if I'm at the good place but I'm out of solutions and nearly desperated!!!
I wished to upgrade my old 660GTX (always runned flawless) so I bought this 2060.
I'm running in 1080 , 40-50 fps is ok for me, 4k is not my goal at all.
I have this card running PERFECT for 3 weeks (beated Far Cry 5 flawless and Wolfenstein New Order too) and about 5 days now I experienced lags playing wolfenstein old blood. Really bad lags, frezzing the game make it impossible to play. Tried Far Cry 5: same issue. Even loading the game was painful, lag at the entry screen. Unable to run "Haven" benchmark, just blackscreen.
Drivers are up to-date (clean install)
Fans are running when testing them at full power in GPUTweak
I check CPU, MB temps all was OK.
I swap the GPU to another PCIE16: everything was fine. Benchmark it with "Haven" 150 fps OK. Tested Games: OK
So I susptected the MB, I re-swapped the Card on the PCIE16 that was used before and now all works fine.
I got to thell that I'm running on and old CPU/MB I7-3820 P9X79 Pro MB. With a Corsair AX1200 PSU so the power may be not the case.
Case is a coolermast HAFX Full Tower, so airflow is good.
I know that my hardware would not unleash all the power of the 2060 but it could not cause a sudent major lag... Or could it be just incompatibles?
Someone told me that there could be some electricals limitations on my MB that can damage GPU and/or MB... Could it be possible?
Also could it be possible that the weight of the card applied on the PCIE16 connector could cause a misconnection leading to poor/no performance of the GPU? Because all I have done is to swap the GPU from one PCIE to another for test (with goog results) and swap it back. And the problem is gone (for now)...
Thanks a lot for your help...
