I have been having random drops in FPS to near 0 for a few months. It happens in all games occasionally but recently (within the last few days) Final Fantasy VII seems to cause it most often. I was having similar issues with another graphics card from Gibibyte that eventually died, and I was forced to RMA, wait months, just to get a refund. Yesterday morning ALL games fell drastically in performance with power draw falling then spiking back to normal and then going back to normal and FPS going from 1-100+ every few seconds. I restarted my computer and did a clean install of all drivers. I am now back to the way it was described above (Final Fantasy VII most often but happens occasionally in all games) with performance dropping to sub 10 FPS randomly, than back to normal. It appears that the card itself just... stops functioning. Power draw locks to 33% (according to EVGA Precision) during the drop in performance. I am having this issue with only default settings (no overclock). Since yesterday there is one game that only started having issues yesterday morning, Fallout 4. I have tried reinstalling the game multiple times, but it is now constant with this game. It is almost as if the system is just not using the GPU at all, monitoring software is showing 1% GPU usage. Fallout 4 has been reinstalled multiple times and is in a complete vanilla state. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I have put a support ticket in with EVGA but honestly.... with wait times for RMAs, I am not sure when I will get a response. It is NOT a integrated graphics issue as my CPU does not have any. I have uninstalled EVGA Precision which has possibly caused the problem to get worse... but am now using hwinfo64 to monitor my system. Noob with the program at this time. Will also need to find another way to track FPS since I can not seem to find it in this program. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Hwinfo64 doesn't support FPS tracking. Consider using fraps or Rivatuner separately if you prefer not to rely on Precision or Afterburner. It seems the card is having performance issues. Have you removed the previous drivers with DDU before the installation? That could be helpful. Also, check how old your Windows version is—over time it can become corrupted, making a fresh install worthwhile.
