As the title says i experience some random framedrops on my pc after i got this graphics card.

I experience this on CS:GO and mostly on League of Legends.
This is now a fresh formatted pc running windows 7 x64 sp1 with all latest drivers, bios and vbios installed. (had same prob on windows 8.1 alongside with some other bugs and annoyances)

I play CS:GO and LoL maxed out settings (resolution beeing 1680x1080) they run fine even on heavy fights and stuff and on random times frames drop to 40 or below and cause lots and i mean lots of lag and slow down.

Battlefield 4 on high settings seems to run all good and buttery smooth which seems weird to me.

Before hand I used to run a Sapphire HD4870 1gb reference edition card and I've been playing LoL without any framedrops or so.

What i thought so far is that either there's something wrong with the card and/or drivers.
Power supply may be inconsistent instead of the card.
Maybe motherboard beeing somehow faulty or something and cause things to slow down.

Whats your thoughts ? Is there anyone else running this card whos experiencing this ?

i did raise it to 1.17 thats the option mobo gives me and it didnt seem to affect this at all.

Here's a screenshot of HWmonitor after a complete game of LoL
with 3-4 framedrops

No I'm running on stock clocks and i'm pretty sure my i5 3570k is more than enough to max out LoL. I posted my HWmonitor screenshot already after a game there's no throttling at all and temps are normal in my opinion.

I tried lowering settings to high instead of very high and same thing happens.

my friend on i5 4440 and r7 260x is running it maxed out just fine and in essence his machine is slower than mine
