The best thing to do is contact evga, if it's been under 30-45days on the replacement card, ask for prepaid shipping label.

Texture pop in? As in, textures load some time after you turn your in game character around? That sounds like you are running off of a slow drive. Either the hard drive is heavily fragmented and needs a good defrag, or the SSD is nearly full and performance has tanked (yes, some SSDs do that).

Only in one game or all? And when you tried older drivers, you used DDU to clean out the old ones? Your SATA driver is updated? If both HDD and SSD are using the same controller that could be the issue, and has fixed that texture pop in problem for some folks.

ive never had this issue before with any other graphics card! i borrowed a r9390 from my brother it works flawless! he just bought a evga gtx 1080 i tryed it yesterday it worked great, but with this gtx 970 in his computer it did the same thing! my brothers, and i happen to game together alot! so i have tryed quite a few alternatives! im sure its just this card i also do use ddu but this time i just reinstalled windows to make sure still the same issue persists.

Ok, with it doing the same thing in another computer (aka the problem followed the card) it points to the card being the problem - RMA that sucker, and ask EVGA to send you a pre-paid label as this one failed to work out of the box as the replacement. One last thing - is the game(s) using more than 3.5GB of VRAM?
