GTX 770 flickering voltage?

[DankNasty]

Hello I just received a recertified gtx 770 to replace my r9 280 that was giving me a bunch of issues. I have tested it on a few games and seems to be running fine no overheating or anything but when I run it in gpu z the voltage readings flicker from .9-1.2 and no information about every .1 seconds. The r9 280 I had in before kept constant vddc readings and I am wondering if t here could be something wrong with the card? I have a Rosewill Valens-600M gold series psu. The card also keeps a coreclock speed of around 150mhz when not in a game, but I assume this is part of its power saving feature..

And the voltage regulation is part of the power saving as well.

So you are saying this constant flickering of voltage is normal? Because it was not on my amd card. Only reason I am concerned is because it seems like this is something that could easily damage the card as it shows its not getting a steady current.

It's normal, it happens o your CPU as well, it happened on your AMD as well, but you didn't see it and it will not damage the card!

Gpu z did not show any fluctuation in the voltage readings on my amd I tested the exact same way and the amd gave me a solid bar with a consistent voltage. This nvidia is giving me consistent spikes throughout going from 9ish to --- voltage. I guess since it's working fine I should just ignore it I have a 3 year warranty anyway.
