GPU clock speed issue

[IrshaadH]

Hey guys,

 

I have a Gigabyte HD 7950 OC'd to 1090/1500.  I've had this card for about a year now and it seemed to be working fine.  A couple of weeks ago I had a friend over whom I let play some PC games.  He accidentally turned the power bar off, shutting down the comp mid-game.  Ever since, on some games, my GPU would fail to ramp up to max clock speeds unless I alt+tab and reset afterburner.  Recently, I had to do this for Bioshock Infinite, and afterwards I had a bit of artifacting.  I decided to run BF4 after since it really maxes out my GPU and I had no problems whatsover, even though it makes the card run hotter.

 

Any help in this matter would be much appreciated!

 

Specs:

 

CPU: Core i5 3570K OC'd to 4.2 ghz

PSU: Corsair CX600M

EDIT: Nevermind, just found out about this powerlimit bug that's plaguing all AMD 14.x drivers, rolled back to 13.12 and all is well.
