Hi All,

So usual id run a benchmark test etc but it doesn't pick up my issue, awhile ago i went from a 960 2GB to an RX 470 4GB, Now in last few games i have played , CS:GO, Star Craft 2, RE7 they will all stay at 60 FPS initial with zero drops however after abit maybe 20-30mins it starts to plummet so will go from 60 down to 3 and instantly back up but i get this awful judder and it again drops to but maybe only to 24-28 and back to 60 again but juddering. I only game at 1080P

It will then just carry on every so often, in cs it does it more if i turn quickly. Im just not sure whats going on or what program i could run to find anything out? Could it be a RAM leakage on the card? This never happened on my 960 card which is why im leaning towards the GPU and not CPU causing an issue

My system spec is as follows, AMD FX 6100, 16GB Kingston Hyper X, 450W Corsair PSU, 60GB SSD (Windows is on it only) all my games on other drives.

Cheers for any help

Cheers for tips all, i took it back into where i bought it and they confirmed faulty, however on positive side im getting a refund and due to a deal can get a 4GB 480 G1 Gigabyte so all ends well i guess ^.^

I doubt ill notice a massive difference in performance as when the 470 worked i was more than happy with it.
