    Yep it definitely did that as I noticed the tiny yellow writing in the left hand corner and the 2.0 jumped out at me.

    That's not your problem then... Sounds like it could be temperatures. As for getting the graph to show - if you click the little arrows near the middle / bottom of it you should be able to get a little graph which if you double click will be HUGE. It can stay open in the background and then when the benchmark finishes you can see what was going on

    Humm - depends on what the OcUK policy is. If the airflow is adequate, then my next option would be a re-TIM. Do check the warranty situation before doing that though :thumb:

    Apologies in advance for the huge pic but to illustrate what I was talking about above you should have this on the desktop when the benchmark shuts down

    The GPU clock (top right) would drop down lower if it was throttling

    So I open Evga Precision, run the Metro benchmark and I will find this image where once it is done?

    Edit: Sorry you already posted where cheers.

    no worries - I find it better to have the graph opened up large before running the benchmark

    Am I being throttled? Though I am beginning to want to throttle this card.

    Looks like it's keeping it's clock speed up, GPU doesn't seem to be being used particularly well.

    Thinking aloud - anyone know how, say a CPU issue, might affect the the core clock of the GPU? Could an issue with that or something else be stopping the GPU from stretching it's legs or would the GPU core clock down instead?

    I'll drop a 980/4690K combo on my test bench when I get home in about an hour to give you some comparisons to compare to.

    Something is fundamentally broken with your setup Glenn, but then you know that already :(

    Not that I can see - the temps aren't getting too high and the GPU clock is (mostly) staying up. Very odd indeed... I'll continue thinking but I'm sure one of our clever members will get there before I do.

    Fresh install of Windows is my choice at the moment.

    Well I couldn't achieve this:

    Until I got home. Upon which I did so immediately. Going forward I shan't bother, I'll let others help instead.

    If you have one, do it onto a spare hard drive/SSD, it saves wiping out your main install if it doesn't fix the problem.

    Don't get so shirty Shirty, it was just a little dig at you confirming what I have known for the past few hours. No harm intended.

    Ladies, please! ;)

    (And by ladies I mean Shirty wearing a lady's swimming cossie and Kronos in his fetching wig)

    Have you seen the card hit 80*C again, Kronos?

    Perhaps a total wipe of the drivers is required?
