GPU lower clock speed in F@H

[blackmage1134]

So when running F@H MY GPU will run at 1163 MHz, if i run like Netflix or YouTube it will jump to my max of 1470 MHz, only way i can tell to fix the issue is to run the protein viewer then it will run 1470 MHz all the time. but the viewer crashes often. 
am running GTX 960 4GB and windows 10. is there a better fix for this issue? anyone else have this issue?

well, maybe it's thermal throtteling a bit. what are the temps? F@H really pushes your hardware.

it hits 56c when at 1470MHz and 72% power limit, and at 1163Mhz it goes down to 48c with 47% power limit

Do you have GPUBoost enabled?

If thats default then yes.  I just use afterburner to add to the clock and control fan curve.

Well, if you have it enabled, than your system controls your clock speed, voltage, etc. You have to disable it to have full control.

You do realize that the only way to get rid of GPU Boost is to Bios mod, don't you?

 

OP, I would put the bet on an unstable OC. 1470mhz is kind of a lot, I wouldn't be surprised if it was unstable. Try lowering your clocks; say, to 1400mhz. See if that helps.

@Imakuni i can give that a try, i can game at that clock with no issues for some time now. however i have seen f@h is a bit pickier about GPU overclocks.
