@Jan_C apologies in derail this thread re the eagle power connectors i created a thread just for that to be discussed..

now re your situation have you tried to under volt the card sounds like its a hard power limit fault or something happening ...worth a shot at least

I have tried undervolting and lowering clocks but doesn't seem to be doing anything for me sadly, thank you for the suggestion.

I'm not entirely convinced it's related to my PSU at this point as the stutters only really occur for the first few minutes of playing a game and afterwards I can play without any stutters as long as new textures are not loaded or I don't do things like open maps or do something which require something new for the card to process. With Warzone for example, I don't stutter at all within the game as I believe all textures and shaders are installed/pre-loaded before hand whereas in battlefield the first 1~2 minutes of starting a map I am in stutter hell but that completely eases off afterwards and it's gone.

If it was PSU related, would the problem be present throughout my game session? I may be wrong but that is what I think makes sense.

If you run GPU-Z what bus speed does it report the card is running at?

At idle it runs at PCIe x16 4.0 @ x16 1.1 which goes to PCIe x16 4.0 @ x16 4.0 when in-game.
 
I would assume if was a widespread issue with the card that there would be more reports of it? So far this is the only thread I've seen reporting issues with this card specifically. I would definitely wait for the Driver fix before taking any kind of return action. If/when mine does eventually arrive I'll be able to test it out and let you know if I encounter similar issues.
 
Agree with you not psu as you have tried others ..the under-volt was more so for the cards own power delivery internal ... did read up that the new mem on these cards is ECC so could be that slowing things down if it popping up errors..maybe try and just lower the mem speed right down and test see if it does the same ..sry if you have tested this already.. other than that not sure ...i would stick with the card until there is good stock then RMA it ..i assume you can still use it apart from the initial hiccups
 
sorry to butt in. but about the multiple 8pin connectors. are you saying it needs to be 2x cables each with a single connection from the psu striaght to the gpu? or is it ok if one cable is split into 2 connections to the gpu? also does it matter if its a 6pin with 2 pin or does it have to be a single 8 pin? Because the evga psu I have has split connectors that are only 6pin with a 2 pin split to make 8pin.

It needs two separate cables. The connectors are the bottleneck.

Most all PCI-e power connectors are 6+2, so that's fine. However, you really shouldn't be splitting a PCI-e cable like that. These cables are rated to be able to cope with 150W (and not more, if you're unlucky) and by splitting it you could cause up to 300W to be drawn through a single cable, which could cause the cable to heat up and potentially melt. The PSU may also not be able to deliver all the power on that one connector.

were would i buy these connecters ..beacuse from what you are saying it sounds like the ones that are with my evga psu are not going to be compatibale with any 30 series card.

No, use the cables you have but don't daisy chain the connectors. IE for each 8 pin use a separate cable, don't use one cable which has 2x 6+2 connectors on it.

So use the two cables. Some people try to connect both 8 pins with the connectors from a single cable, which can melt the connectors or the cable.

but you said it should be a sepepeart connection..there not sepereate i have 2 cables each with 2 6+2pin connectors.
 
You need two cables: one end of this cable plugs in your PSU, the other end has either a 6 + 2 pin connector or an 8 pin connector (Molex PCI-e connectors). These cables are also often labeled with PCI-e printed on them.

If you have two cables that have *two* 6+2 pin connectors on them, then use one of these 6+2 pin connectors from one each of these cables.

As long as you only use one of the connectors per cable you are fine then. The cables are separate, and can each carry ~150w.

The extra bit with another connector on the end doesn't matter as it's not going to be plugged in and nothing will draw any current through it.

I have 2 cables that are like this.
