So I got a 980ti strix (on air), tested on my other pc, a 5820k, 16gb ram and 1300w psu and the score on heaven was around 1700, also tested on cinebench.
The card was running "fine" I didn't actually check if the performance was up to level, but card was fine and working.
So I went ahead installed a waterblock and put it in my regular pc a 5960x, 32gb ram and a 1200w psu and the score on heaven was around 1800, then I went to compare my score to others here on the forums and found out that my card was performing like a 780ti or low 980s (non ti).
Everything is set to max performance, nvidia drivers and windows power management.
First I didn't format my pc, I removed my old AMD GPU, removed the drivers, installed the Nvidia driver, ran heaven and my score was around 1800, only then I went to check scores on OcUK forums to find out that this score was a 780ti or low ranked 980 (non ti).
So I thought it could be windows related so went ahead and formatted my pc twice, tested 3 different drivers and installed gpu-z, msi afterburner and even the asus gpu tweaker soft as well (not at same time as afterburner), only to find out that the clock was going doing when you use the card, so that was the reason for the low score on air as well.
Long short history: My card would start clocking down to 900s or even 800s, with a temperature lower than 40C and then I noticed that my card is running at 1.01/1.02v instead of 1.2V (on gpu-z) so I installed msi afterburner and it gave me the same voltage 1.01v, tried to raise the voltage and power limit but no changes.
I made a video and you can see the card behaviour here:

Please watch it past 30s
any ideas what is the problem?
