GPU clock speed not ramping up in Modern Warfare.

[DatBrummie]

Hi,

 

When playing MW, my GPU clock speed is remaining at around 700MHz rather than the 1050Mhz base clock or above that it usually gets to when gaming.

I tried the game Friday and it worked, however trying it today it's no longer working.

 

As you can see here it's ramping up a little bit, from the idle setting, however it's not even hitting the base clock let alone the boost clock.

I'm not sure what could be causing this as it's not reaching the power or temperature that it's at while playing CS:GO so it's not hitting any kind of limit.

 

I've added the game as a 3D program in the NVidia Control Panel already and that's not changed anything. I have the latest drivers and the latest game update.

Have you changed settings?

Have you checked CPU usage? Might just be CPU-bottlenecked and the GPU has nothing to do.

I've not changed any settings, it worked on Friday when I tested it, and now won't.

 

CPU was at 30%

(While in a level, laying on the floor, tabbed out to grab the screenshot. I think the spikes are from loading the game and loading the level)

GPU-Z can show what kind of limit the GPU is hitting that is blocking it from boosting. Check that out.

I tried that, I couldn't see any kind of thing that could be stopping it? 

Screenshot is taken shortly after playing a little bit of a single player level, so the time graphs would be accurate.

The only thing even close to the top is the GPU load, which surely you'd expect and the clock should ramp up to meet the load? 

It's not hitting a voltage or a temperature limit, as shown in the previous screenshots as while playing any other game the temperature and voltage both get to a higher point.

 

The weird thing is, it worked absolutely fine over the weekend of release, and for a few days earlier this week. Then I tried playing the game, and this issue occurred, but I didn't know this was the problem I just noticed bad FPS. Then the game crashed so I left it for a bit. When I went back on later that night, it worked absolutely fine.

I left it alone again until the day after, and I had the problem again. 

On Friday I did a driver update and restarted my PC, it worked, but then trying it earlier today it didn't work. And trying it now, with GPU-Z running, and after restarting. It's having the same issue.

 

I'm not sure what it could be as I've not changed anything like I said.

 

EDIT:

For reference here's what GPU-Z looks like during a game of CS
