Just bought a new card above 6gb EVGA version, went for the small form factor one as it seems to get goodish reviews and I have a tightish case so the shorter card really helps
I had an old GTX470 in there, so removed all the drivers via control panel, (using the onboard graphics to run the monitor). Shut down the PC, removed the 470 and installed the 1060.
Powered back up and installed latest drivers from EVGA site, which I think may be slightly behind the latest but pretty close.
So the issues seem to be, its warm, and i know it will probably idle a little higher than a dual fan, but its sitting at about 64 degrees. Fan at 10%.
I don't have a recent game that will stress it, but I ran a game and it went to 67 and 23% fan. It was working a little. (oh tested with GPUZ in case that matters)
I noticed on GPUz that its also not reporting being Physx enabled. Which is obviously incorrect.
What would people suggest at this point?
If I uninstall the drivers is there some sort of driver cleaner thats safe to use? I am guessing thers is some sort of minor issue with old drivers, although the temps I wonder if something else is the issue.
Its not slowly going to 60 degrees either, its that temp by the time windows has booted and with a cold case with push pull I cant see that case temps can have contributed.
