I don't think my GTX 1080 Founders Edition is working properly.

Just to clarify I don't really know anything about GPU's.

I have had my GTX 1080 for a while now and never noticed problems with it until I benchmarked my GPU on Unigine Valley and It is being outperformed by GTX 1070's. Should GTX 1070's be outperforming my 1080?
My friends which both have 1070's outclassed my 1080 as well and I really don't understand why?

This is a 1070 benchmark on Ultra.

When playing any game sometimes my fps drops to 0 for around 10-15 seconds then It starts performing as usual again it doesn't happen often on most games It happens quite often on Battlefield 1 usually kicking me or crashing my game.

My system specs are:
Windows 10 pro 64-bit.
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition 8GB GDDR5X VR Ready Graphics Card, 2560 Core, 1607MHz GPU, 1733MHz Boost.
CPU: Intel i7-4790 @ 3.60Ghz.
Motherboard: Gigabyte B85-HD3.
16GB RAM.
PSU is a 500W FSP500-60HHN.

While the Founder's edition is known to have overheating issues and underperform, it really shouldn't be performing that poorly.

Try reinstalling your drivers.

Go to your control panel and uninstall all old drivers. Then (preferably through GeForce Experience) download the latest drivers for your card using the Express/Recommended path (This will prevent any miscommunication through paths on your system, it should be stored on the C: Drive along with your OS)

Usually when my card acts up like that I do that, which takes 10-15 minutes and the card starts working good as new.

I did that a couple hours ago and no change unfortunately do you think the card could be faulty?
My card won't overclock either as it just crashes any game I start-up.

I'd put a ticket in with EVGA, their CS is really good, chances are you'd get an RMA or troubleshot to a solution.

Yeah If it won't overclock I'd say its something faulty with the power distribution or just a bad chip. Send it back. EVGA has a lot of lemons compared to other manufacturers I hear, but their CS is very good.
