just tried a friends machine to see if something is wrong with both of my machines, still no difference on the power draw, stuck at 22% on all programs except for OCCT, in which it will draw the full 200w its rated for. do you think a pc repair store might try to repair it?

Ive tested my GPU in OCCT and it drew the full 170-200W its supposed to but i ran UNIGINE Heaven and Furmark again and those are back to 50W max power draw, im very confused on why this is happening.

new bios has been installed but the power issue of 22% power draw has not been solved

he said it worked, when i got home it didnt work, i finally got it working and now its only using 22% power BIOS is: 86.04.3B.00.84

The GTX 1080 is second-hand, its been a difficult time getting it to even get into windows, now that its running stably, the card only draws 50 watts max and im trying to get that working. i plan on putting the 1080 into another system.

MSI Afterburner and EVGAS Precision X1 im measuring the draw with Furmark and HWMonitor im only getting 15 FPS on Furmark at 720p 0x MSAA Update: i did UNIGINE Heaven and i got about 18 FPS avg

So i got a 1080 and finally got it working, problem is its only using 22% of its wattage/power draw, any ideas on how to fix this?

also another thing to note, before it corrupts my windows i get a patternized screen artifact which can go form green to white, id have to take a picture when i get home but if it does get into windows it doesnt stay stable for long.

Theyre all the same models of ram, 4 8GB sticks of corsair vengeance RS

i tested the 1080 in another system with a RYZEN cpu and GPU in it and it worked just fine

i did not but when i tried booting back into windows after a full format of each drive, i tried downloading LAN drivers to download the GPU drivers and it restarted and corrupted again

I recently bought a used 1080 and im testing it, but it has corrupted my Windows 3 times now, ive had to reinstall my windows multiple times and when i restart the computer it corrupts my windows install again. im using an EVGA GTX 1080 8GB FTW ACX 3.0. if you have any ideas on what might be...

ill try and order one, got any suggestions on one?

i was on a very strict budget and the KF was on sale for 50 less than the K version, also i dont have a second HDMI or DP monitor.

not trying to get a performance benefit and i dont have a DVI card, i have been using CSM for a while now, ill just take the card out when microsoft forces me on windows 11. also i tried it and it worked after some driver installs.
