Is it always the same slot that has the underperforming card? Is it the same riser each time? Also, did you try a different power supply?
It's not always the same card. Every time i switch pcie slot, the underperforming card also switch. One thing i noted today, one of my cards always 15oC hotter then the rest of the rig. But today, i unplugged that card, the other 3 become weird. One card was mining at lower hashrate. one card became hotter. The last one was normal.
