    Question Did I get a bad GPU?

    I want to thank everyone for the help. I also swore to myself I made this post I would leave a clear and concise trail of what fixed the issue so if this happens to someone else I can prevent them a few hours of misery. I decided that because this was a brand new build and because I had no...

    Question Did I get a bad GPU?

    I have not tweaked the Bios on the board except to enable fTPM, and set boot drive. All other settings are set to factory default.

    Question Did I get a bad GPU?

Ran a FurMark Benchmark, GPU-Z log file shows a jump to 1 GHZ for a 1/4 second and then back down to 210 for the rest of the test. I'm still only pulling 54.3 watts from 8-pin #1, 41.6 watts from 8-pin #2...
