GPU stuck at 598 clock speed help

[YewTreeWeb]

Hi everyone I'm need in need of some help. I have a EVGA 980 Classified GPU, overclocked to 1598mhz. I have never had an issue before and didn't have a problem earlier today, however while I was playing Cities Skylines my clock speed dropped to 598.

To see if it was stuck I loaded up the Witcher 3 on ultra settings and the speed didn't change, so I started a stress test and again it wouldn't go above or below 598.

I'm really unsure what to donand how to resolve this. Any advice on this will be so appricated.

Thanks to everyone taking the time to read this.

Is it still running at the same framerate as before, I'm wondering if this is an error of whatever tool your using to observe the clock speed.

Hi thanks for the replies really appreciate it. Sorry for not replying sooner, I haven't had chance to use the PC in ages.

When my clock speed changes and sticks to 598MHz and I load the Witcher, everything speeds up but graphics look the same. I have looked on EVGAs precision X and GPU Z and both software show the clock speed being stuck at 598MHz.

As a quick solution I put my 980 Classified back to EVGA's default overclock and restart my PC. Once the computer loads back up my clock speed is no longer stuck and is back to its normal 1038MHz. Once loaded I reload my overclock profile and the speed changes depending on the load. However the clock speed is slow to change from 1598MHz to 1038MHz.

Thanks Lordas I shall have a look at your tutorial and let you know.

Hi Lordas I have had a look at your tutorial and it seems to be aimed at AMD GPUs but I have an NVIDIA GPU.

When I have my clock speed suddenly drop and stick to 598MHz, I don't have a browser open, it just seems to happen when playing games.

Thanks for checking it out. sorry it didnt help. Maybe an other app is interfering with the card ? Apps like Raptr.Overwolf.. etc

The same thing was happening to me with my old GTX 760, I fixed it by re-installing the EVGA PrecisionX with a the newest version.

Hi Lordas your tutorial is really good and thanks for trying to help =).

Hi CommunistCow, ah OK I'll see if that helps with uninstalling Precision X and trying the latest version.
