rtx 5060 getting lower fps than my old 1660 ti??

Swapped the cards, same pc, and in a couple of games fps actually went down. Did a DDU clean driver install already. Ryzen 5 3600 on a PCIe 3 board. Bottleneck or something wrong?

Did you DDU the old driver before swapping? That's the usual one. Other things, roughly in order of how often they're the cause: monitor cable plugged into the motherboard instead of the card, an older board on PCIe 3.0 (the 5060 only uses 8 lanes so it loses a little there, but nowhere near 1660 Ti levels), Resizable BAR off in the BIOS, and Windows on a power saver plan. Also look at the CPU. If it's the same chip that was paired with the 1660 Ti, some games are CPU-bound and the new card just sits there waiting.
