Hi,

Ive not played much apart from RE2 over the last few weeks and that has been fine.

However after getting Metro and New Dawn this week along with Crackdown 3 with the game pass (that has been ok though).

This is now happening after a few minutes on each game. Both CPU and GPU are back to stock values and it still happens.

Sorry dont know how to embed them.

I did apply for an RMA a while ago but did not get around to it as was busy then RE2 seemed to be fine.

Occastionally the game(s) will recover for a few seconds then drop clock again as in video.

Is this definitely GPU before I RMA it properly this time or could it be CPU or something else?

Spec in Sig - Different issues to what I was getting before in the Aorus thread so I started a new one.


Thanks,
Sean

Sounds like a cooling issue to me, got good airflow to the card? How are you powering it, with a splitter or 2 separate connections from PSU?
 
Do you have anything else running that might be using the GPU? A friend found his GPU used to drop to lower speeds if he had YouTube open on his second monitor while a game was running.
 
Nothing else running, I always close everything I can before I open a game.

2 seperate pci-e cables are being run. 1000w PSU.

O/S install in brand new was having problems before so I formatted a couple of weeks ago.

There are plenty of fans in case and as HRL said temps are ok. GPU goes upto about 80c with no OC and fans set to 100%.
 
Do you have a friend with a system you could try the card in? Try setting prefer maximum performance in Nvidia control panel under 3d setting and see if it still does it. Shouldn't down clock at all with that enabled.

You joking haha, no of my mates even have laptops never mind a PC. All just have an Xbox!

I just checked that setting - It was on 'optimal' changed to 'prefer maximum performance' will see if it helps thanks.
 
Those look like the 2d clocks which would suggest the gpu doesn't think it's gaming.

Using MSI AB run the OC scanner to define an overclocking curve for curiosity and report back the results.

Ok will do that now thanks. I played a quick 15mins earlier with the 'maximum performance' option and it did not do it though although I had played around 1 hour of Metro when I first got it without issue.

Will report back shortly

**EDIT** Should I leave power and voltage at stock etc.. and just run the OC curve or max power and voltage then run it??

Thanks all,
Sean
 
Booted up Metro again, clocks dropped to 1400mhz after about 5mins. 4fps no load on CPU.

Will revert back to stock settings in AfterBurner for now.

It pointing more towards hardware but it could still be a quirk of your OS installation / general configuration.

I'd be tempted to run DDU on your drivers while disconnected from the Internet then reinstall the latest edition just in case something broke on a previous install.

Also check what is running at OS start up (right click taskbar, click task manager and the startup tab), for troubleshooting i'd disable everything inc MSI AB (except Steam / Epic) and perform some more testing.

Maybe re-flash the bios too : https://www.aorus.com/GV-N208TAORUS-X-11GC#pd_download
 
Well, my Xbox one controller batteries just died.. Strangley enough changing them out seems to have fixed it?!?! Unless ive just been lucky and its not happened yet.

BIOS of card is already that one, I flashed that as soon as I seen it someone post it on the main Aorus thread. Thanks.

Just been running Metro with 110% power and +100 core for 40mins or so, no problems. Very strange will update either way if it comes back or it doesn't.

Thanks,
Sean
 
Fingers crossed it was something rogue related to the Xbox controller, maybe something stealing focus and nailing clocks back down to 2d levels.

Good luck!

Yeah seems very strange. Just tried New Dawn for around 45mins. No issues at all ran flawless and thats with the decent OC on the GPU, will bump CPU back up now.
 
I'd go cleaning those xinput and xbox one drivers then DDU in safe mode to remove all traces of NVidia drivers being careful to set window to not install drivers on next boot. Go fresh with driver only, and then go fresh on plugging in and installing the pad.

Why? He's made a change and says it's working now.

OP, I'd only try the above if it starts acting up again. But I've known low mouse batteries to cause a bit of lag, so I'd play it by ear if I were you.
