Graphics card doesn't overclock anymore?!

[Mecami]

Hey guys,

I have an issue, that my graphics card(7970 windforce 3x OC) will not overclock to my set 1070 Mhz core clock and 1500mhz memory clock.

I tried enabling AMD overdrive, changing the settings in both msi afterburner and AMD catalyst, but both afterburner and amd CCC show that the card only goes up to 1000mhz/1375mhz.

When I restart my PC it even resets the values to 1000/1375.

Does someone know how to fix this?

 

Ok I have a 2 monitor setup since today and I just noticed, when I have a stream/video running on my secondary monitor, my card will underclock itself to default settings.

However when I the stream/video off, it jumps back to my OC settings.

Is there a way to fix this?

 

Edit: Seems like it doesn't matter on which monitor I have a video running, it will underclock itself nonetheless.

Edit2: Ok seems like Firefox was causing this issue, switched to google chrome for now, still would like to know how to fix this

 

Thanks in advance!

Use only one software. When using afterburner did you appy?

Yeah I did. The thing is, it worked before, but now for some reason it doesn't anymore.

I'm not sure since when it stopped overclocking itself.
