1050ti My 1050 ti needs to get -100Mhz from core clock in order to run, why ?

[WhiteBeard11]

Hello guys I need help concerning my Asus Gtx 1050 ti

It crashes in every game and freezes the pc, when I look at the statistics in MSI Afterburner it shows that it reaches 100% GPU usage and crashes the entire system when I enter in a game.

Someone told me to lower from the core clock, and I used msi afterburner for it and it worked, now my gpu clock is 1186 Mhz instead of default 1291Mhz and works fine.

 

But I need to know why do I need to lower from the core clock memory in order for my graphics card to run without crashing in games ?

and is it a sign that it's dead or just a technical issue ?

What are your pc specs? and what Psu are you using? Also make sure if the card has a 6pin connector that thats plugged in

Mine doesn't have a pin connector, it's a  PH-GTX1050TI-4G.

 

I have an HP elite 8300 CMT with stock PSU 320W

i7-3770 and 8 ram

You could try getting a new Psu. Pre-built Psu's aren't the best in terms of reliability

Please. This has nothing to do with the PSU. What happens when you don’t run it -100 from core clock

Well i mean when the thing goes under full load the pc turns off as you said, that sounds like a psu issue to me

Thing is, it doesn’t have power connectors, the GPU should be getting enough power

Still pulls Power from the internal Power Supply.

THE SUPPLY IS LIKELY UNRELIABLE AT THIS AGE OF THE MaCHINE

This is what people are saying is all....
GPU is fine,... PC is fine,.. PSU is likely working.....but unreliable due to AGE.

Find a replacement.

 

FYI - It would be fine, if the PSU wasn't likely the cause of issue.
I've built a GTX1050ti DELL i7 3770 + 16GB Ram Battlebox,.. on 225watts.

GTX1050Ti also does not always use 75watts either,... it can be using 50-60watts during gameplay (without -100Core)

Lost on me... what was it..

Your PSU is likely DYING <- Stated before found out also happens on other PC)

[SorcierX]

GPU doesn't have stand-alone power connections?

 

Motherboard / PSU

 

Could be either, maybe that motherboard can't supply enough power through the PCIE slot or maybe it can but the power supply is unable to supply enough clean power for it.

Thing is, the gpu does this also on another computer with good psu so the issue isn't in my psu.

What happens if I don't run it with -100Mhz is once I run a game the entire pc freezes, and I have either the option to ctrl alt delete to end game task or hard reboot the pc

[SorcierX]

What's the other system you tried it in?

So, not a pre-built? HP / DELL or otherwise?

 

I'm trying to rule out the proprietary motherboard that most of these companies make where they could just not give enough power to PCI slots to run a card w/o stand-alone power.

in that case you may just need to RMA the card. Sounds like the Gpu may be slightly Doa

no it's an ASUS or gigabyte motherboad i suppose

Just slippin in to say that all GPU's are 100% while a game is running, so dont worry about that. It's completely normal.

[EthanDaMidget]

Get 500w power supply. That should do the trick. Something like that ain't really gonna run well with something like that. My R9 270 works perfect with the 475 watt power supply that my PC came with.

okay im not gonna worry about it anymore but I need to know if it's also normal for a gpu to have the need to get 100MHz lowered from its core clock speed in order for it to run ?

No that's definitely weird. And since you're saying it's the same in another pc with a better PSU, I think you should RMA.

I might have not tested it enough to know, I only ran one game and saw nothing happen.

sometimes I don't encounter this problem in my pc also, but 9/10 of the times it happens.

so your interpretation for this issue is the gpu might not be able to pull full power so I need to lower 100MHz from core clock in order for it to run?

[hiimFred]

Yeah, not sure. I'm not the best guy to tell you, but it seems to me to be power related, yes. I would go and test it thoroughly on another Pc. Then RMA it. Don't bust your head over a faulty product.

Edit: Wait is this a new card?

I bought it used

sorry forgot to mention it at first
