I see perfcap reason as pink [max temp i guess] and blue color codes.

I cant find the Firestrike for free.

it seems the memory is fairly OC'ed out of the box. Also i can see a 117% TDP, nothing wrong, Pink is temp limit clearly seen as max is 82 deg C which is no doubt very high. I reach 68~69 on a very very hot indian summer day with 82% humidity in kolkata with a 2 Ghz Mem and 1444 Mhz Core OC.

Vrel blue is hitting because its the way card says i can push further if you add more voltage to my core ( since the mem is OCed ). The interesting thing is the 59% max fan speed, at that temp, the standard fanspeed should at least reach 80%.

Trying doing these, go to afterburner and increase the power level to 110 from 100. Set a fan curve where fan should reach 80% at max temp.

Still i think you have a either you have bogus case (no offense) or your setup is not placed in an airy place. 82 deg is not welcome at any rate.

P.S.-- your VDDC is higher than mine, not entirely sure what the impact is for that, diff card operates at diff voltage.

MSI afterburner shows 0 everywhere have to re install it

Also my machine is in the corner so the air intake might be less

I tell you what, call asus, pretend to be a a bit stupid, an average gamer or card buyer need not to be having monumental knowledge about these stuff. Just say that my games are not running properly, and i feel its very very hot out there. Get it checked/replaced, who knows if its a faulty card. you are not going to leave India till that 970 becomes obsolete ( i wish otherwise tho) . In long run, no matter what you do, that temp is not gonna bode well.

its gone now, i cant hover. yes its green

hmm..that's unlikely. Means its boost is limited due to not enough power, Although your PSU is capable enough. You need better doctors now :p , ask topgear, cilus or ico how to estimate power usage of your PC on total. Remember perfcap is a reason showing why your card is not boosting to infinity, and its not an error or warning, you are always limited by something and you should be. BUT if that also translates to a potential bottleneck or throttling scenario and you feel your card is not performing due to these severely then you must reach out.

There's no issue with the card according to me. No issue with your system configuration also. Your PSU is good as well.

Your Unigine Heaven score is also fine and personally, I don't have any problem with that temperature as well.

This is a driver issue or some software interference issue. Should be sorted by a fresh install of the OS.

By sfc you mean that command prompt utility?? If yes, go for a Windows reinstall then.
Yes. If I reinstall I have to download all the updates for windows 8.1, so arising for windows 10 which is due next month.

I forgot to mention this. During initial days of GTA 5 I use to get this once I exit the GTA v game.

Try to use different RAM stick and your hard drive rpm is too slow for demanding games which might cause lag and spikes, though it's not entirely true for fps drop.

Try to use these settings in game as it gives me stable performance most of time. If it works perfect and game gives 50+ fps even while driving at all conditions - you're good, you can crank up settings and check stability in fps.

Isn't this same as Nvidia optimzed settings?

Update:

I ran GTA 5 yesterday and fps was locked at 23 fps so restarted my machine and after that it is back to normal ~53fps when playing :?: any comment in this anyone

fixing the issue is more important than downloading windows 8.1 updates....
and if u don't want to re-download than take updates backup.

re-install windows and check
