I need some help with overclocking my graphics card. I started overclocking my gtx 960 2gd5t today and decided to start with a +200 mhz core clock (After turning up the power limit) as other people can get around +235 to the core clock. I started stress testing with Heaven until this happened.
Heaven is able to continue running but my frame rate drops to around 20 fps. I have tried a clean install of the graphics driver (without extras like 3d vision) and setting my power management mode to high performance but none of these solutions seemed to work. I have managed to keep the core clock at +170 without it crashing but I would like to go higher as this card is meant for overclocking.
