Is my build bottlenecked? GTX 1060

[bholt80]

Just tried to run GTA V at 4k with GTA Redux mod and was struggling for FPS, getting around 15? I've seen some videos and people have been getting 60 fps on gta 5 vanilla at 4k? I have the following parts :

Gigabyte Xtreme 1060 6gb in OC mode

i5 6600 CPU 3.3Ghz

16GB Corsair Ram 2666MHz

450W Super flower PSU

MSI Z170 PC MATE MOBO

it isn't just this game either, I tried Squad and was only getting 20 fps stood still at 4k too

The 1060 isn't a 4K card, it's more of a 1080p/1920x1200 one.

This would depend on your settings. You need something along the lines of a gtx1080 to max out settings with 2xaa according to Guru3d. Your machine is not bottlenecked. Try turning down some settings to get higher fps.

But how are people getting 60 fps at 4k with the same card? I don't understand?

They aren't. It's a bait and switch.

To get 4k 60fps with a 1060 you will need to turn MSAA off completely, almost all of the other settings to Normal, plus all of the advanced settings turned off. I feel an honest assessment of your specs shows me you are only bottlenecked by choosing a 1060 if you expect 4k 60fps gaming with heavy graphics mods.

Did you notice that on the Redux Mod website it clearly states it is a graphic advancement mod and can lower your fps by 10-15fps over the stock game?

A 1080 is going to struggle to give you 4k at 60fps in modern graphics intensive titles, let a lone a 1060.

GTA V is a brute of a game to max out, you need 4 Titans @2160p.

Don't believe the rubbish some of the review sites post.

Turn the settings down a bit and enjoy the game.

use MFAA in Nvidia control panel insted of MSAA (need to enable 2xMSAA in game for it to work though)

Your machine actually looks nicely balanced. I run GTA V at 1080p and my 1060 can't totally max that whereas my 1080 just about can!

Food for thought!

Absolutely no chance is anybody getting 60fps at anything remotely like high setting on GTAV at 4k with a 1060.

I just tried gta at 4k via vsr with my rx 480 & was quite suprised at how well it performed - no extended sliders but most other settings maxed, no aa & was averaging 40fps (night in the city),

Think I'll have a play to see how many settings I need to drop to get close to 60. Your 1060 should run gta a bit better than my 480 & it looks great anyway so do you need mods? This was single player mode though, no idea about multiplayer!
