There is a section that you can choose under setting --> General then down the bottom there is something about unofficial overclocking mode. There you can select 'without Powerplay'.
I'm going off memory here as I'm at work ATM. But that's the gist of it.
Yeah, AMD Powerplay strikes again.
My 280 did the same. I installed Afterburner, disabled Powerplay and overclocked it to boot. No more downclocks after that.
The G550JK is a well-balanced machine that strikes a solid balance between form factor, looks, performance, and cost.
