Hi, my GPU suddenly dropped in performance 2 days ago and i have been trying to fix it since then, my GPU clock is capped at 300 MHz

My NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER suddenly started acting weirdly, Previously most games I played on my PC were working beautifully for my testing of this I selected Valorant which was previously working on 400 fps 3 days ago and now it suddenly runs at 140 fps max on all lowest setting. First I tried previous nvidia drivers (since it was the only thing I remembered was new on my PC) didin't work, then I tried a factory reset which still did not make a change, then I installed GPU-Z and noticed that my GPU clock is capping at 300 MHz (saw this also before on msi afterburner but didn't realize that is not a normal value before) and my Power Consumption is at 170% most of the time. I also scanned many times in between factory resets fully with defender and free version of malwarebytes because I was scared if it was any malicious maleware. I attached my GPU-Z stats to this hoping it would help, my next suspicion is my PSU just not being enough anymore but I am out of ideas at this point.

She's dead; not too uncommon of a symptom. Probably a shunt resistor is failing, or something in that circuit or solder is failing.

If it is outside of warranty, you might find someone with a BIOS hack to break the power limit and get it working again, but no clue if it will work long-term. Otherwise an aftermarket repair service may fix it.

Yep. Extra common from those who did a "liquid metal" mod on the shunt resistor to get more OC before bios mods on Turing. Decays the actual shunt and will result in this.

So I should just take my PC to a Service or just keep the money and order a new GPU? Big thanks for the help guys, it has been driving me mad, but im confused that my GPU died that fast, I feel like my previous PC had more longevity... I only had this one for 5 years.

Depends how much the repair costs? Anything over $200 repairs you might as well buy a new gpu

Okay, thanks I will consult with Service and then decide then.
