Radeon Software Automatically Resets Clock Speed

[J57F]

When trying to overclock my gpu, Radeon software resets it's settings almost instantly after I apply them.

I do not have any other software running that would be doing this.

When trying to launch Trixx it tells me it requires a Sapphire graphics card, then closes.

Well that's weird, dunno if they changed it recently then.

ASUS has their own thing anyways

Trying gpu tweak, applying settings results in just like, no change to clock speed, and also the clock speed in asus's software sets itself to it's minimum. The same results happens if the radeon software application isn't open.

If you have a 2nd GPU/PCI-e slot to recover from I guess you can try flashing a fresh bios onto it.

Most likely just roll back the GPU driver to an older one

 

worst case there's always a fresh windows install. Should keep windows on it's own little 240GB island

I found that using msi Afterburner lets me change clock speed and it sticks. So for anyone that may stumble upon this post with the same issue as me, Radeon settings is still unable to change anything, but Afterburner rules all.
