So, i recently bought myself a new graphics card, 980ti xtreme edition from gigabyte to be exact. 

So my problem when it's idling those fans just like ramp up for like 1-2 seconds and then turn down again and then up again. Does it has to be like this or should i take my card back to the shop?

I have already tried to make custom fan profile but it doesn't help at all.

 

Also yesterday i thought i should benchmark my card. Downloaded this 3DMark demo and ran this first test what this program gave me and those scores were 9000'ish. Looked at some other card benchmarks for example msi 980ti lightning at it had 19000. What could be the problem, and i also tried benchmarking it when i had all my fans turned up to 100%, thought maybe card is thermal throttling.

 

Would be perfect if you can help me.

it's normal the fan does not spin much on idle...it's a feature so save on power and noise and help your fans last longer.

As for your 3dmark score...CPU is also a factor in that, there is a physics score that is solely based on your CPU performance, what CPU do you have in there?

probably bad thermal paste  you can fix it yourself but you should go back to the store and see what they say

Are you sure that you ran FireStrike and not FireStrike Extreme or Ultra?

yeah...that too :) there are many versions...for example, for firestriky extreme a score of around 9000 would be completely normal:

 

| CPU: Core i7-8700K @ 4.89ghz - 1.21v  |  Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z370-E GAMING  |  CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 |
| GPU: MSI RTX 3080Ti Ventus 3X OC  |  RAM: 32GB T-Force Delta RGB 3066mhz |

I have the windforce 980 ti xtreme card too and this may be perfectly normal, we need more info. If I run rainmeter on my computer (with all the meters I made) it 'idles' at 848MHz which is not enough to make it go completely fanless, it will spin up every so often, you need to have it idle to 400MHz or below to have it run completely fanless. It will go to that speed if you have like 0 programs running.

As for the score, my record with a 5.2GHz 3770k and a huge overclock on the GPU was only able to get 18006, which is the highest for that CPU+GPU combo. 9000 seems about right for a non overclocked 980 ti and a 6600. The scores listed there are the top scores obtained by overclocking, don't expect them to be representative for a non-OC system.

what you should do is run unigine valley instead and come back with your score...this is a GPU only benchmark and we have a thread about it with all the informations you need and you can compare your score there:

this is the link to the spreadsheet...at the bottom you can select your screen resolution and single GPU etc...and then you can compare your score and see if it looks normal:
