Is my graphics card broken? - low fps, poor benchmarks

[skerridge09]

My apologies if this thread is in the wrong place!

The other day I seemed to suddenly be getting low fps on all games, about 20fps on CS:GO; DayZ; LoL etc. After a complete windows reinstall the issue continued. I installed my friend's gtx 770sc into my system and all worked perfectly, however installing my GPU into his computer yielded low fps again.

Using afterburner and GPUz it seems that the gpu is locked at 135MHz core clock speed and 162MHz memory clock speed. Running a game or benchmark test (putting load to 100%) caused no change to these speeds.

These are the stats using superposition benchmark

I've never had to deal with GPU issues before so i'm wondering if anyone can give their opinion.

specs:
Intel i5-4690 3.5GHz
EVGA gtx 970 superclocked
ROG Maximus VII Ranger
20GB memory

Thanks!

Yeah, it sure looks like it is broken. You can try a clean uninstall of the drivers using the DDU tool below, but I would not get my hopes up as a clean windows install should do the trick. Do you know if this started right after you downloaded new drivers? If so, it may be worth a shot to roll back to an older driver and see if that will fix the issue.

Unfortunately I've tried both of those with no luck, no idea what caused it at all I've never even attempted to overclock the thing. Thanks anyway

It certainly looks like a card problem.
Your EVGA GTX970 is at least still functional so that is a plus.
Is it possibly still under warranty?
EVGA at one time had lifetime warranties.
I would at least contact EVGA support and see what they think.
Possibly there is a firmware replacement option that might resurrect the card.
