Is my GPU Underclocked?

[cowpower2013]

I have a dell M6700 Precision Workstation. In the past it has been able to play Skyrim in 1920 x 1080 on Ultra settings with no lag. I have recently upgraded from windows 7 home premium to windows 7 ultimate. And I have updated all of my drivers. Now games that I used to be able to play can barely play on low settings. I wonder if the windows 7 ultimate installed messed with my GPU clock speed.

Current GPU settings: https://imageshack.com/i/mvbbdxp

PC Specs:

i7 3940XM 3.2GHz

Quadro K5000M 4gb

32 GB DDR3 RAM

1 Terabyte HDD 1 512GB SSD (Windows installed on SSD)

(Don't ask why I use a Workstation GPU -.-)

Many Thanks

Well I would try uninstalling the drivers and installing them again. Your graphics card wouldn't be underclocked, because the clock speeds are defined by the BIOS on the graphics card which doesn't change. Not unless you do a risky procedure to change it at least. It is more likely there is a software glitch somewhere and the drivers is the best place to start.

Could I also have an outdated BIOS?

No, the BIOS on the graphics card, which is different than the motherboard BIOS, never chances. The only way it would change is if you manually changed it, and its a very hard and risky procedure. One you never want to do in truth.

The problem is going to be in your drivers, in your operating system, or some where else in software. Not in the graphics card.

I re-installed all of the drivers for the K5000M, but it still didn't help.

Maybe try the operating system.

You can get MSI Afterburner and monitor your GPU's clock speeds while playing games. Try this and see. It may not be that the GPU is running at the wrong speed as something else is causing problems.
