Hi all,
Recently purchased one of these, and having ongoing issues in games. I currently game at 3440 x 1440 and whatever I'm playing my frame rates will drop and stay that way until I exited the game.
I figured out (okay it's not that difficult) that my graphics card was being throttled.
As soon as it hits 75oC powerplay kicks in and the core speed drops (as seen in MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z, etc.).
I've tried everything to lock my clocks to ~1Ghz and 1.2Ghz on the memory but it's not playing ball, I've set +50 on the power limit and increased/decreased core voltage and set unofficial overclocking mode to "without powerplay support" and "disabled ULPS" mode with no change, as soon as it gets to 75oC the clocks just drop and I get crappy game play/low framerates.
Anybody had a similar solution and how did you resolve it, I've looked around and noone else seems to have experienced this issue.
Currently there is no way for me to decrease the ambient temperature or increase cooling capacity outside of installing an aircon unit but my old 7970 would happily sit at 80-90oC (in the summer, ran a lot cooler than this during winter!) all day playing games without issue.
Anyway appreciate any comments and suggestions.
