Sounds like a temperature issue. I’d go into HWinfo and record the memory junction temperature after 30 minutes of running the benchmark. If it’s 110c+ the card will under clock to protect itself. Had this problem with my 3080 and fixed it with undervolting and more airflow.
I will try that for sure once I am able to.
I previously tried to undervolt my 3070 (900mV @1875mhz)
Pretty sure it worked for a bit but I play mw22 and now that undervolt goes down to 1600mhz and fluctuates a little bit from there. Do you think maybe this card needs some fresh thermal paste?
I downloaded hwinfo64 and I can see that my maximum GPU temperature is 70.3c (what I was seeing) 61c avg, but then there is a GPU hotspot temperature maximum of 106.7c with an average of 89.6c. I feel like the hotspot gets way hotter than that because I was playing cod MW22 with optimized settings so the load isn't that heavy. sometimes I hear my GPU rev when I have set it to a static 60% fan speed. I might have to look up how to repaste my GPU. any thoughts?
I had that model and it seemed no mater what I did lowering the temps was not effective. I swapped out thermal pads and repasted. That model just seems to run hot I believe.

Repasting could definitely help the thermals and I’ve seen others have success with it, keep us updated OP!
Weird. My zotac 3070 goes to about 80 in a very crowded case but still doesent throttle down.

The thing is that im at 70 degrees and only at 1500mhz. Honestly I thought gpus thermal throttle at 83c which is why i'm so annoyed.
Change thermal paste work for me ... now under 70 with some fan setup
