2070 stuttering

For some reason this 2070 I have will stutter for the first few seconds of any game of benchark, FPS goes 60, 20, 60, 20, 60 20. After about 10-15 seconds it's fine.

Any ideas? Fresh drivers, etc. I don't particularly care as it's fine in games once I get past that initial startup. But it wrecks benchmark performances. My other 2070 (black edition) did not do this.
 
Is gsync / freesync on if you have a monitor with that cap. Other issue could be just drivers. Maybe fresh install. Finally, could be for games/apps not loading from an SSD. Just some ideas. Can’t say more unless you tell more.

Does it with freesync on, or off. Also does it on games on either my 970, or 860 ssds. So it's not an SSD issue.

The GPU is was the only change. PC was fine, no issues with my 2070 Black Edition. Put in the strix, and problem started. Originally I thought it was my riser card (vertical mount), since I had it in the lower PCIE slot. But I even moved the card to regular, and tried both PCIE slots and problem persisted.

It's literaly like the PC micro locks up, the whole screen stops. It's literaly 60 FPS 20 FPS, there is no inbetween. For example if you have a loading circle in a game you can physically watch it stop and go again. It does this about the first 30 seconds of _any_ game, or benchmark, League, Overwatch, Tomb Raider, 3dMark, etc. Guess I'll RMA the card.

Like I said in the PM. It was fine when I ran around in monster hunter for about 30mins prior to shipping it out as precaution. I would not have shipped you the card if it was having issues. If you want to RMA the card I will pay the shipping costs to do so.
 
Clean install of drivers? Aka uninstall, DDU, reboot w/ internet disconnected, DDU again, reboot w/ internet disconnected, and then install drivers.
 
The only other possibillity I can think of would be the PSU maybe it's getting weak on the rail and can't supply 2 PCIE slots. But I really, really can't see that being the issue.

(Strix is 8pin+6pin, EVGA BC is just an a single 8 pin.

Do you have another psu to test it with? Yeah the evga be is just 1 8 pin. I have one of those as well lol.

I have one in another PC, just a hell of a pain to pull it out, and swap in just for something I think is very unlikely. The TDP isn't any different between the two, both are 175. Just into 2 pins.

In my personal experience I've had gpus perform differently with a different powersupply. My two Furys whined like a mofo and slight stutter in fps test 1 in 3dmark on an older corsair unit but ran fine when I swapped the psu. It may be worth a try.
 
I have to agree it sounds like a PSU issue. Are you running two PCIe connectors on different rails? I know some PSUs have issues when running two connectors from the same plug.

My son had the same thing when he bought a 1070, it had microstuttering and wasn't performing that well until i put the PCIe connectors onto two separate lines been fine every since.
