hello :)

seems pretty weird considering the stuff you have tried already.

 

- have you checked if there isn't any windows power saving trickery at hand?

- can you cross-check with a different graphics card if you have a secondary lying around?

- what does afterburner report concerning power limit an power usage?

I have tried it using my friend's GTX 1070Ti and it runs butter smooth on my system, so i think there's no windows power saving enabled, and i dont know what do you mean on the third question but here is what HWMonitor show

seems like you're stuck at a lower power state

 

is this card new? did it work before?

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

in the afterburner window currently you can see your gpu teemperature graph. if you detach that graph section you can scroll down until you find the power graphs.

i suspect the same thing @Moonzyhas mentioned already.

is there another system to try the card?

because if you DDU-ed and tried new and old driver, plus flashing the vBIOS, i dont have any other ideas other than something is wrong with your current system's software

hmm... have any spare hard drives laying around that you can install a fresh copy of windows to test on?

as you can see the card is hitting the power limit although its using only 19% of the power it should be able to handle. looks like something on the card itself is wrong. maybe bios related or hardware difficult to say...

yea you can, because if that doesnt help then it's probably hardware defect

 

I would probably point to the shunt resistor or the chip that measures it, as GPU tends to lock up to a lower power state when detecting irregularities in them.
