I dunno, it's kinda strange. I had a GTX 1060 SSC before that would boost as advertised, and would really easily overclock to 2100MHz-ish. That card had the DP failure that I see several people posting on here about, and I had to RMA that card. Now the new one is here and it doesn't even boost up to the 1800MHz-ish that is advertised. It's pinned at base clocks, regardless of what I'm doing with it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what my problem might be? I'm super wiped out, cuz I went on UserBenchmarks . com and it said I performed in the 23rd percentile of 1060s. Essentially, A properly boosting, slightly overclocked 1060 3GB could outpace my card right now. Specs are below, not sure if they matter or help:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 4.15GHz I believe,
Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 5 X470 MoBo,
2x8GB @ 3000MHz V-Color Skywalker RGB RAM,
EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SSC stuck at stock,
Cougar CMX1000 1,000w Semi-Modular PSU.
I'm booting off a Sandisk SSD Plus, and have game libraries stored on 2 Hitachi Deskstar spinning irons in RAID 0.

Does the card boost if you force it to boost?

Just so we're clear, the only change is replacing the GPU that had a DP failure? If so, then apparently you got a bad GPU as a warranty replacement. Looks like you need another. However this time, I'd make sure EVGA pays shipping both ways.

@sajin Via overclocking it? No. It won't accept any sort of overclock, no matter how mild. I also tried boosting the power and temp targets and fooling around with the fan curve to make sure it has headway.

This is correct, yes. It sucks, cuz I felt like I got a lottery win last time. This time, I'm just not sure what's going on.

No, by forcing the card to boost by using the lock feature inside msi afterburner.

MSI Afterburner straight up won't work on this card. If I change any settings, even just the power target, my whole PC locks up. So I tried Precision XOC and that did the same thing. Then I got Precision X1 and it appears that it will try to allow me to change settings, but it never actually allows any changes. At least the computer doesn't lock up with it.

Given your original post, I don't see how that suggestion even matters.  The GPU doesn't boost by default and software won't fix that.

I see. Well best advice I could give you would be to test the card in another machine just to be 100% sure the card is really the culprit.
