Perhaps this is nothing, but I want to get to the bottom of it while I'm still within the return policy of this gpu. I can be doing nothing but watching the afterburner logs and the core / memory clock is so inconsistent it looks like a 2 year old drawing lines. The core clock goes anywhere from 300mhz to 1227, 300 is the lowest and 1306 is the default for the current profile. The memory clock is a little better moving only between 1750/300. I might not normally think anything of this, but looking at it looks completely ridiculous. Imagine the most inconsistent scribbled graph and this is it. It's so all over the place that it almost looks like a audio file zoomed in a whole lot.
Gaming performance and even checking the logs after is 100% perfect in every way. The clock / memory speeds stay put and I have had no issues with various games over the last 2 days. What confuses me is that I don't see what could be happening while the computer is idling that requires the core clock to bounce around so much. My old 270x would always be on either 300 / 450mhz when not gaming. I get it if I were doing something, but
Just a note in case this helps.. during this the cpu usage is at 1-3% and gpu usage is pretty much flat at 0 for the most part...
