660 Ti issues

So the card was working fine, then today for some reason the card will not throttle up the core and memory clocks when I start a game. They are staying at 324mhz.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers with no differences found. Whats going on here? Any ideas?

Any game, furmark, etc. Anything that should make the GPU throttle up doesn't. It stays at 324 core clock and memory clock and I get horrible performance.

Sounds like a driver and throttling issue. What's your temps?

Thats what I thought which is why I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, even tried the older 306.23 driver as well which did nothing.

Temp is 33c idle, and loaded on furmark it goes to 35c lol because it's throttled so low.

My last resort is to reinstall the OS, if that doesn't work I don't see any choice but to RMA.

FWIW, I even tried flashing a different bios on it and that didn't work either it still stayed throttled down.

Well, it's definitely the card. I swapped it into an entirely different PC and it still did the same thing. RMA here I come rolleyes.gif

This was going to be my suggestion. Looks like an RMA is in order unfortunately.
