It sounds like your GPU is having a cooling issue, it should not be downclocking that much.

Have you you replaced the heatsink or the thermal paste?

Did you drop the GPU possibly separating the heatsink from the processor?

  My GPU is IDLE at 55 and in game load max is 67 this card should be able to hit 90 so thats not the problem.

    Ok, temps may not be the issue so. There is excessive downclocking for some reason.
    
    Are your drivers up to date? Do you have a possibly misconfigured profile active via EVGA Precision or some other GPU monitoring/clocking app?
    
    Thanks.
