Fan curve wont work on my card

I have been asking literally everywhere and still have not got any advice from anyone and it is really getting frustrating so I am going to list everything I can. I used to have an old 1050 I recently upgraded to a GIgabyte 1070 G1, I was thinking this was going to be some massive amazing upgrade and it was the complete opposite. Games that used to run perfect and silent on my 1050 now has my fans making noise that is unbearable, when I play games even on average settings like PUBG or even low settings on Rust the fans got really loud and I am not getting anything spectacular in terms of performance I am getting like 85 fps on rust on lowish settings and the fps jumps around and buffers at like 5fps for a second then 50 then 80 then 30. I have not even tried anything demanding yet because if it works like this on these games AAA games will make my PC sound like a jet engine. I honestly cant believe I spent £270 on this card, it is used but was told it is basically un used. So anyway I moved on to try and fix this by getting a fan curve. I installed gigabytes own Xtreme gaming Utility, does not do a damn thing. I set the fans to 0% doesn't make a difference does the exact same things in the games. So then I try MSI Afterburner, I get the grey homepage for it that shows tempatures. I set fan curve again completely ignores it as well. I could be playing a game and it could say fans are at 0 and it is still making noise or it just ignores my settings altogether and fan speed jumps to 29% or 49% etc. I am honestly at the point now where I just feel like giving up on PC gaming and getting a xbox one x because I spent over £300 on a gpu and a new Gold certified PSU and this is what I have to deal with, PC Gaming is basically just stress. Wouild really appreciate any help thank you

I keep asking but cant seem to find any advice online, Its a Gigabyte 1070 G1, its used but seller claiming it barely used.

Rest of my specs
A corsair 650 gold certified PSU
INTEL I7 3770
INTEL DESKBOARD

Please I really need some help if I can somehow get the fan control on my gpu to somehow work I will be happy with the card and wont have to try and get a refund thank you.
 


What makes you think its a bad card and not just not set up properly for fan curve to work, the tempatures seem fine and the benchmarks I ran seem decent
 


Yeah but that's seems to be because I have no control of the fans if someone knows how to fix that issue it should be all good
 


That card has its own fan curve in the BIOS. when its silent, its because the fans dont spin until the gpu hits 40C, or somewhere around there. if you hear the fans go on and off it means its hovering around that temp. the noise you described shouldnt be happening, no matter what speed they are. Sounds to me like the fans are bad or the card isnt doing its job. Head over to gigabytes website and start an rma.
 


Yeah but the card on idle is above 40 anyway so that would make sense, it does not happen all the time it seems to only happen when I am trying to get the fans to work with fan curve or after I have fidled with msi afterburner trying to get the fan curve to work. Is there a way I can get the fan curve to work that way I can run tests and if that comes up ok and I have fixed the fan issue then the card will be ok and I might not have to spend weeks trying to get refund or an RMA
 


Does no one know how to fix the fan control
