Yes, please do this OP.

I have just installed the same Sapphire card in my desktop, using a BeQuiet! 650 watt PSU but with two separate cables. Haven't had a chance to run any games yet but interested in how you get on OP.

its all gone quiet hopefully he sorted it and is happily playing games
I couldn't post any replies yesterday due to a handicapped forum restriction. You made 15 posts in 24 hours. Who ever implemented this, hope you constantly drop food.
So I've tried this in the other PC with the 850w PSU. Done DDU, powered down then removed 3060 Ti. Put 6800 in. Used AMD website for latest drivers. Rebooted.
Restored Steam backup from external HDD for Destiny 2, Apex on to SSD. Perfectly fine. So what I did is then connected my monitor to this PC and tried... behold got stuttering again.The problem was with my Samsung Space monitor. FreeSync was enabled so I disabled that and it seems much better now. With freesync I was getting flicker too in games. I also changed HDMI input from 1.4 to 2.0. Regarding the fans they seem low I think it's the way the card cooler design works.

Sounds like you need to invest in a GAMING monitor.

Really glad you have sorted it and the card its self ok would never of thought it could on been a monitor problem happy gaming
That's not necessarily your monitor, that could still be your GPU.
My Samsung suffers from flickering, mostly when it's in LFC, so anything under 70fps, and that's going to be a monitor issue - IMO, same with yours. However stuttering may not be. I've noticed on mine having Freesync on does some screwy stuff with GPU clocks, even with Freesync disabled via radeon settings. In the end i just disabled Freesync. If you can, try and test it on a different Freesync monitor.
And just for a laugh, my 580 is also a Pulse model.
Display Port all the way. 
Plenty of decent monitors compatible with FreeSync and G-Sync. Using Dell 27 1440p.
May upgrade for 4k, but then even a 32" would be small for my tastes, considering the resolution. And the good ones are too expensive yet.

No stutter with mine, after playing f12020, Halo, Half Life-Alyx. Also using display port on a Dell S2719DGF..
Don’t worry about that the cooler is very good at cooling the gpu mine goes on and off in games like cs:go as it barely utilises the gpu and it’s not auditable compared to my other fans when running high intense gpu games. Fans off when in desktop mode
Maybe you need to update your monitor firmware. Some people had success with an update.
