980ti throttling to 595mhz and stays there untill PC restart

[saintdefender]

This is happening even at the desktop, and it has been happening ever since I purchased the card. I have overclocked the card by 200mhz and I haven't had a single driver crash, artifact after many hours of gaming on Witcher, GTA V and other games. I have even ran multiple benchmarks overnight so I am fairly certain the overclock is stable. This just seems to randomly happen even when the card is not under load. Temps are fine never goes over 73-74c on load and stays idle at 30-35c.

I have done some research and it turns out other people are having this problem but there has been no solution as of yet. See

Does anyone have any idea what could be going on?

Try cleaning your drivers with Display Driver Uninstaller. Then reinstall latest. Could be software issue.

I have done this on countless occasions, for 2 drivers now including the latest one. Hasn't solved a thing. Went the whole 9 yards too, used it in safe mode.

what you using to view the clocks?
hwmon says mine are 595 all the time, afterburner sometimes cocks up and says 595, but reload it and its fine - benchmark scores remain the same so its just a reporting error for me.

Change in nvidia control panel to performance (power management mode)

You can tell its 595 in games because I get below 30fps in GTA V and Witcher.

Already done that

Had the same problem, uninstalling drivers actually solved it for me though.

I wish it would solve it for me Really grinding my gears it is

I had to reinstall windows to get gsync working with 2x780 in sli, so might still be a driver-related issue
