so iv'e upgraded my 2x 7950's to an asus 980ti strix and im not impressed!

while playing the witcher 3 i noticed that the GFX cards only running at 690mhz (on the after burner overlay) surely this card is clocked at 1317mhz.

anybody got any advice?

Cheers

Hopefully, you did a full uninstall of all your AMD drivers, then a clean install of the latest Nvidia drivers downloaded from the website.

go into nvidia control panel and click on manage 3d settings.
click on global settings and look for power management, there you can set it to performance and hopefully that will fix it.

if it still stays at that clockspeed use afterburner to manually get it to 1317mhz

i've tested GTA5 as well now and still the same 702mhz

GPUZ is showing 1291mhz so all looks good but in game its only using 702mhz

@ nymzy i could change the clock settings in After Burner, but why is this happening.

I need to get to the bottom of this problem

Cheers for the help bud

Edit:-

with the overclock applied manually in game remains the same 702mhz, reporting same in GU tweak 2 & after burner.

thanx for ur sugestion bud, makes no differance still at 702mhz max, no matter what i do.

took the gpu to a friends house just to make sure its not my pc, his asus 980ti is running at 1405mhz, when i stuck mine in his pc same result 702mhz :weep:

Seems like its a DOA and amazon have no stock and the wait time is 4 weeks thats too long.

Should i RMA it with ASUS them selves?

Cheers

xZEDx - I had a similar problem with going from a AMD R9 290 to this card. I think that despite doing a full remove and install something in windows was broken. I cannot recall what my MHz was but the performance wasn't what I expected.

I RMA'd my first 980ti (MSI Gaming) as it was shockingly bad. I got the Strix and it was the same so I replaced my PSU (which actually was slightly knackered). I still was averaging Firestrike scores of like 14k.

The answer was a fresh install of windows, after that Firestrike scores of high 19k and much more stable all round performance.

17 Seconds - I did a full uninstall of AMD drivers and deleted Nvidia drivers yet still had the problem until a fresh OS install.

FIXED

I know this is a very late answer to my post.

it turned out to be a hardware problem. one of the the little resister on the bottom side of the PCB was incorrectly soldered not making contact.

after going in circles with the rma. i de-soldered the resister and re-soldered it correctly and boom the graphics card fired back to life at the correct speed.

I can't believe this Graphics card passed QC what a fookin' joke!!!
