Hi,
I play on a 240 Hz monitor and usually play Overwatch (Video Game). I usually play on all low settings and it has no issue hitting the 240 frames cap. Recently though the GPU has only been running at 61-62 degrees Celsius and fluctuates from 160-240 Hz whereas before it would run at 83 degrees Celsius and run at 240 Hz constantly. When I increase the setting past what it can do the temperature does increase to 83 degrees Celsius and doesn't hit 240 Hz because the graphics card isn't strong enough but it does run at it max potential. I'm currently on the newest Nvidia drivers. It has never had this issue over the past 2-3 years and just started about 2 weeks ago. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. I can also answer any questions.
Thanks,
Putterman
