gpu factory clock too much

[malboroiceblast]

hi!
i have a palit gtx960 super jetstream gpu. i tried to play battlefield 4 on factory clock and it keeps crashing after 10 seconds of playing. i even had to lower the clock by 35Mhz just to make it work and playable. so my question is how am supposed to make it work on factory clock or overclock? ( the crashing occurs on alot of games especially graphic intensive games not jsut bf4) my temps are only around 50 ish for both gpu and cpu btw.

Going to need more information about your system - your GPU only working at all when it's underclocked is very likely a symptom of a more serious problem. Information about the power supply is especially crucial here.

hi!

i have a cosair vs series 650 watt psu. it crashed after 20 mins of playing when i under clocked by 35Mhz. Trying an underclock of 50 Mhz now.


Edit : i saw on geforce that a 960 base clock and boost clock are 1127/1178 respectively.
my factory settings are 1278.

Update drivers etc. if that doesn't work then send it back, as soon as you possibly can. It works at factory out of the box or it's wrong.

hi!

i did a DDU already and updated to the latest drivers just days before making this post.

The PSU is reasonable, if not amazing. Assuming it's working, your GPU is likely an RMA candidate - GPUs shouldn't be struggling at factory settings.
