Hi . Guys..
I am writing cause i think i have a problem that i cannot solve...Thanks in advance

My geforce 690 gtx is always running at full power , i mean something between 92-95% both cores with the one of them a bit lower..
The gpu load is also 93% with a temperature at about 74 celcius both cores ....
The problem begins when i try to play a game, from idle i get full fps i have figured out and then the fps drops.....like i would say that the card is getting "tired" ... if i could use this term..... Rise of tomb raider benchmark for example , first time i run it i have an average of about 65 fps , the second time frames drop to 35.....I run nv inspector and i see gpu load and usage above 92%....

After that and until i restart my pc again , both cores work at full throttle even if i am on desktop doing nothing.....
i made a clean install of the drivers , i changed slot on my motherboard
( asus rampage extreme 2
( asus rampage 2 extreme bios rev 1704)
(power supply 850w)
windows 7 64bit
12 gb gddr5 samsung

Thanks again.....
 
In the Nvidia Control Panel, try turning the power management mode to adaptive instead of prefer maximum performance and reboot your PC, that's what fixed it for me, although I don't have an SLI setup.

How are your GPU temps while gaming? Decreasing performance over time can indicate thermal throttling.

SERGEANT_SNEAKY thanks a lot for replying...Unfortunately this doesn't work , apart from the fact that it was already set to adaptive.(not by me ....by chance.... i wasn't aware of this)...yes during a game the temps boost, even now that i am writing to you , doing anything , the temps are 94%....strange.....i set all the options to default from the control panel also.... but still the same......:(((
