New 2070 Stuttering.

I had a 2070 EVGA Black Edition that was perfectly fine. For some reason this new 2070 Strix on any game, or application/Benchmark (3dMark, FF14, Tomb Raider, etc) it stutters horrifically for about the first 30 seconds. If I were running 60 fps, it'd go... 60 fps, 20 fps, 60 fps, 20 fps, 60 fps, 20 fps. Intant drops, and recovery...

It's extremely annoying. Any ideas? I've done DDU, clean installs, etc.
 
Recheck all the cables, make sure they are all firm in place, make sure its firmly in the pci-e slot, inspect visibly if all the fans start spinning.

Other than that use older drivers(uninstall always with DDU in safe mode) and check if some of them work good.
 
That's what I'm starting to think, it was the only change. PC was fine, no issues with my 2070 Black Edition. Put in the strix, and problem started. Originally I thought it was my riser card (vertical mount), but I even moved the card to regular, and tried both PCIE slots and problem persisted.

It's literaly like the PC micro locks up, the whole screen stops. It's literaly 60 FPS 20 FPS, there is no inbetween. For example if you have a loading circle in a game you can physically watch it stop and go again. It does this about the first 30 seconds of _any_ game, or benchmark, League, Overwatch, Tomb Raider, 3dMark, etc. Guess I'll RMA the card.
 
A few weeks ago there was some driver update and I noticed some stuttering. - This only happens when a Game does not close properly or force close. I get this weird flicker flash on any Webpage minutes later. A reboot fixes it.

I have not experienced any Stuttering in games though.

There was another thread here by another fellow, that was building in a case with a PCI-E riser, and his 660 card was fine, but his new GTX 1070 card wouldn't boot. Was fine when attached directly to mobo, without riser. Could that be your issue, maybe? Oh, nevermind, you tried it directly in the PCI-E port too.

Now that you mention it, in GPUZ the card extremely underclocks itself and sometimes can't get itself back up and I will get severe FPS drops. But often the card doesn't need to perform very hard to acheive 144fps.

That's really weird. Are you seeing any high temps from the card?

No, usually sits around 50-60c. In League of Legends though the card only runs at around 30-40c, low enough the fans don't even go. It also won't peg 144 fps, it just sits around 125-143. Not sure if thats a Freesync thing or not, but you'd think it'd just lock it at 144. But the card sits there at around 700 mhz in league. Overwatch, other demanding games it goes to 2100 (OCed, I've tried non OC too same issues).
