So, it's my first post here but i'm just getting into overclock. Bought an budget pc with an old GPU and was trying to get higher FPS in games like the Wticher 3. I used the MSI Afterburner. Added 30-40+ volts, 25 mhz in core clock and 30 in memory clock. The GPU is the GTX580 lightning (Twin Frozr III), CPU is I3-8300. Had two crashes, then found a sweet spot, TW3 was running at high settings at 60fps, 1080p. This GPU has rached 950mhz in other overclocks i saw, so 860 was barely nothing, because i had reached what i wanted.
I barely overclocked it, stopped at a very low point, too. Had the increase in fps i needed, everything was fine.
Then i close the game. I open it up again... 15 fps. Then Resident Evil 7, (usually at 60+ fps and 100+ on low) at 15-30 fps. League of Legends (usually at 282 fps) at 102, clearly not utilizing the GPU. So, i guess my question is: What could have happened? The GPU's lights are still on, it's still being detected, but the dedicated memory is at 0,1/1,5. (Sometimes utilizes 2%, 5%). How could closing a game cause this? Is the GPU broken and, if not, what could i do to further enchance my overclocking experience? Apparently the GTX580 lightning is great for this.
