Do I have a defective card?

[intotheblue2]

Hey folks, I need help. I got a 1080 today to plug into my Alienware Graphics Amplifier. While it's not officially supported yet, there are people that have gotten it to work.

I'm using the latest 368.25 drivers (no other driver will recognize the 1080 and used DDU). While the card is recognized and works, I'm getting like 8fps when playing 4k games lol (down from 30fps in 4k on my 980 I used to have in the graphics dock).

Do I have a defective card? I'm not seeing any artifacts in FurMark. Any ideas of what to try? I've upgraded and downgraded my BIOS to no avail as well.

Is your system running off the gpu and not the on-board graphics?

What Bios have you upgraded? Did you do clean install of the drivers? if you did not do a custom install of the drivers, Put a check mark in the box for clean install when you select custom install.

Can you post the voltages & heat that you are getting on that card?
It almost sounds like it is throttling down because of extreme temps.

You can use GPU-Z and look at the sensor tab and see. (Actually, would like to see the main dialog as well, if you can manage that.) Use postimg.org to host the pics, then use the
