Framerate acting very funny

Looks like a video card related crash for sure.

Your GPU-Z sensors look VERY wrong.

1. The card is not getting to load(bottle necks cause this, but i do not think it is)
2. Both the GPU and memory are not clocking up properly by the look of things. The memory does not even move
3. This all seems to be triggered by the card or drivers thinking the card is over its TDP limit(big green PWR). The TDP indicator seems to show you are not even close to the power limit on the card.

My card is a 670, so it, while being the same type of core is still different.

This was taken with a stress test program similar to furmarks(OCCT : GPU test)


As you can see the clocks all bump up, but not to the max because the TDP limit gets past(the average stays at 99% and the clocks are lower than normal. The MAX of 1215 is NOT held in the test).

So either GPU-z does not work with the card(doubtful because it does seem to see the specs) or something is wrong with the card or drivers.

Since you appear to be in Windows 7, could you please power down the computer and power it back up to see if the results change. My first 670 was defective and would get a driver crash on some games and after it recovered the clocks speeds would get messed up.

Another program that will stress the video card would be to run Folding@Home. When my 670 was not working it would return errors when folding very fast, it was a very effective way to see that in my case, the cards own boost was too much a drop of 26mhz make the card stable. The company still replaced the card over the issue. You may be able to use something like afterburner to drop the cards clock speeds by 13 mhz at a time to see if it stabilizes.

One interesting thing about these kepler and newer cards is they use different clocks for different loads so one game may be 100% stable(either it does not require high speeds or is demanding enough that the card stays at a lower clock speed) while another may crash constantly. Bioshock Infinite was my card crasher, while Rage could run forever(it clocked much lower because it was easy to run).

It may be time to give Evga a call or message. They are far better equipped to deal with this kind of thing. I will still help in any way I can from here.
