Hello, I recently purchased the Gainward GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Phantom GS from Overclockers UK, and it is performing worse than the degraded 1660 Super I bought it to replace. For example, a unigine heaven benchmark gives me a score of 1033, when my 1660 Super got 3054. Assassin's Creed: Origins runs at 7fps, before it ran at an inconsistent 30fps (lows of 27fps).
It has a max energy consumption of 88W, and that's with 3 PCI-E power cables plugged in from my PSU into the 12VHPWR adapter that came with the GPU (did also try with the 2 PCI-E adapter that came with my PSU). It is plugged into a PCI-E x16 gen 4 slot, but even if that did limit it it would be at least performing the same as my previous GPU.
Also, every detection software keeps calling it "Nvidia Graphics Device", when my previous card was referred to as "Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super", which doesn't seem consistent/right. It also made some pretty loud noises on first boot (like clonking) that haven't occurred on successive boots. I'm wondering whether I got a test or locked model or something.
Any and all advice appreciated. I do have the capabilities to set overclocking and stuff if recommended.
