Thank you all for the input. Changes in circumstance means i wont be getting the monitor right now. So i think ill just continue saving and when can, ill grab a 1440p Monitor down the line.

The game in question causing the issue for me was "Path of exile" Whenever i ran the game full screen every once in a while when i tabbed out id drop clocks to 2d clocks (regardless if any overlays like afterburner were running or not) and only a restart would fix it. My fix for it was to run...

So i'm currently using some random Asus 21 inch 1920 x 1080 monitor that i had and would like a new monitor. I'm not entirely sure on what to get. Can someone recommend me something? I have about £300 to spend and am looking for something no bigger than 24 inches. So far i've been looking at...

Heard the port was good and i love DBZ games so i bought it like 10 mins ago. Downloading it now.

Run afterburner or GPUZ and monitor your clock/memory speeds. When you notice slowdowns check what clockspeed your gpu is running at. This happened to me on my 970 where gpu would clock down to 2d application clocks and get stuck there and wont revert till i rebooted. Set your games/gpu power...

Monitor. kb/m. HDD. He has a copy of Windows 7. He plays mainly path of exile but his current pc is terrible and can barely run it. He wants to be able to play some newer games hence wanting to build a pc since his current one just flat out wont play them. (some old prebuilt)

He will be re using his current monitor until he can get a new one. Res is 1600 x 900.

A friend is looking to build a pc for the first time and needs some parts help. He has ~£500 to spend (he would like to keep this as low as possible) and needs CPU - An i5 RAM - 8GB ram Motherboard - Nothing special needed PSU - Enough to run system without hitches, semi modular would be a...

Turned off all overlays. Had gpuz running in background so i could check clocks after i was done. For the most part it was fine but when i went to minimise game to check something on the web the clocks dropped again and got stuck. Since this has happened ive tried forcing it to see if a...

I was running afterburner and the normal steam overlay in games. Other than these, no. For a while i was running nvidia shadowplay which i thought may have caused the issue but after disabling it i still had the same problems. Also after having dropped to 344.16 which was the most updated on...

Okay ... so apparently the issue isn't fully solved. After about 2 and a half hours of no problems the graphics card randomly down clocked again and got stuck. I really have no clue what could be causing this. Should i try an older driver ?

Changed power management to High performance (which turned link speed management off) as well as set global power settings in nvidia control panel to max performance. This worked but kept my GPU pinned at max clocks even at desktop. Changed the global power option to adaptive and kept games...

So i got a MSI gaming 4G GTX 970 yesterday and for a while everything was fine. Then i started noticing that in between opening different games the card would no longer run at full speed and instead be running at some kind of 2D desktop clock(540/3005) and sometimes even lower at (405/810)...

I'm looking at ultrabooks because i wanted one that is thin/light and decent ish battery life and has touch screen, ultrabooks tend to fit that description. As to everyone else, thank you for your suggestions, i guess ill wait it out till some new laptops/ultrabooks with the new core M...
