Zotac 1080TI AMP Extreme not stable at default settings

I bought a Zotac 1080Ti AMP Extreme as a dented box deal on Amazon ($817 Canadian), and unfortunately I have to underclock it by -30mhz for it to run any benchmarks. For that price is it worth keeping the card with less than stock numbers, or am I running the risk of it failing me eventually, and I should return it?

What is your PSU, also if it's not enough for the card the PC will not turn on. So i think it's other problem but...

Yeah I wondered if that might be the problem as well, but from what I can tell the psu is holding up. The card is maxing out at 309 watts. Its a EVGA 650 GQ, 80+ Gold. You think that's my issue?

Because it was considered "Used-Very good condition" I can only get a return. If I wait out the 30 days I could possibly get an RMA from Zotac?

Use a Watt calculator to see how much watts you need. If you can't do that leave your specs and i will calculate it. Also i see that 650 is enough.

does it have warranty? Is it overheating? How hot is the ambient temperature?

I might be able to get away with warranty through Zotac if I wait out the 30 days for return through Amazon...but I might be rolling the dice there. Sitting idle the GPU is 27c and gets up to around 68-70c when I run benchmarks.

70c. How much is your fan speed? From using it the previous owner could down the fan speed that's why you get 70c. Also if your fan speed is good the 70c is also good.

do get it replaced. A somewhat new card that cant run benchmarks at stock is unacceptable

But he needs to wait 30days so there should be a temporarely fix for atleast 30days

Seems like the temp is running at more like 65c. I setup my fan to run 10% higher than temp but the curve isn't perfect so at 65c it's running at 80%

Dropping the GPU clock to -30mhz keeps it decently stable, in fact I was able to get 21761 on Fire Strike... Just concerned that it will just turn into a big brick oneday.

crashing at stock clocks isnt uncommon in old cards like the AMD HD 7000 series or Nvidia GTX 500 series, but those cases are justified by GPUs getting old and degrading over time. Unacceptable for something as new as a 10 series.

Thanks for your advice everyone. I don't think I will find a deal as good as this one, so I think I will wait it out the 30 days and hope an RMA with Zotac goes smoothly.

Did you RMA the card and if so did you get a new one or was it sent back to you
