Recently one of my games in my rotation (Arma 3) would randomly crash so I thought it was a driver update I needed to download it so I did. After I installed the new driver Arma 3 kept crashing so I saw a thread here saying they downclock their card using Gigabyte Xtreme engine and I downloaded it and downclocked my card too and that's when Rainbow Six Siege started lagging to around 40fps and I found that odd since Rainbow Six Siege is capable of running my graphics settings at a smooth frame rate (50-60fps). So I took my pc apart and cleaned the dust off of my CPU heatsink (there was a lot) then took out my RX460 and cleaned the fans (not a whole lot) and after that I plugged everything back in my computer went to bios because I forgot to plug the 4 pin from my HDD back into the PSU and since then I'm unable to run the games I used to play with ease. Rainbow Six Siege crashes before it loads with a black screen, Arma 3 and Project Reality load but with no sound, and Day of Infamy and Insurgency load with sound and is playable. I managed to download a driver around the same time I got my graphics card and Rainbow Six Siege loaded but got a notification that my Driver was outdated and it wouldn't load past the lading screen. I've tried the drivers from this year and the month I got my RX460 last year (august).
