[SOLVED] MSI Gtx970 LE inconsistent performance

[Stretchmatthew]

Since installing my msi gtx970 le 4gb, I have had less than stellar performance from that and my 3570k and 16gb ram with 750w power supply. Seems it runs good intermittently. Dayz at 70 fps when good but 15fps when I start pc next day. Scum and others are the same. I oc'd the card during a performance issue and the card crashed, I rebooted pc to great framerates. It's like it sticks in low power, and only uses max 40% power when gaming but chugs at 20fps or less.

Anyone know what can be causing it. When it works it's great, when it doesn't it sucks. Drivers are uup to date. Dpc latency is awesome. Please help!

List your specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:

How old is your PSU? Did you uninstall the GPU drivers prior to removing and replacing older GPU with the GTX970 LE? Try uninstalling your current drivers and install drivers a revision older(not the latest). Also make sure you're on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard.

I have newest drivers, also a clean win 10 install. Seems if I shut downward cut power I get performance of quality, once shutdown and reboot the performance tanks c states disabled and dpc latency is great. I am leaning to a power supply issue as I get vrel gpu state with 30-40% power usage. I also used DDU to clear old driver info when updating drivers for gpu.

Have you reset the OC?

Mega low performance can be caused by too high an overclock on the vram.
