Alright, I'm having a BIG problem. Since the past couple of days, my gpu would gradually power to 93% usage and temps at 70c while I monitor in msi afterburner. And that's in idle. In games, things get choked up after about 20 minutes of playing. I've searched around the net, and found it could be either my 780 ti is deadening (which is insane after only 2 months of purchase new), virus (already deleted malware with malwarebytes), or driver updates. I've already updated to the driver released today, and it changed nothing. so now, I'm really at a lost on what to do. Guess it's 700 dollars wasted.

My cpu is i7 4770k. and I have 8 gbs of ram, hyper 212 evo fan, and phantom nzxt case. Does anybody think it has to do with the drivers? I get these conditions in idle, which is obviously bad.
