Running anything else in the background that could slow it down? Flash in FF, for some reason, slaughters my mates card.

And for the purposes of testing I would disable everything that's in the startup group including firewalls and Anti Virus, just click on start>run MSconfig>Startup tab and untick all the boxes and reboot. Once you have rebooted, disable your network connection so there's no internet access (safety first) and run 3D mark again and also open up CCC and monitor the temps, fan speed and everything else.
Anther thing you could try is in the BIOS check that the PCI-E frequency is set at 100hz. Failing that Google to see if anyone else is having smiler issues with that board or try running the card in anther PCI-E socket even if it's only x8.
ive done that disabled everything made sure the card was also running at stock makes no difference.
pcie frequency is 100.
just cant think of anything else lol.
how would i find if powercolor has a new bios?
ive checked the site
