How to really underclock my GPU?

[Josysclei]

So, as I already posted before, I'm having issues with my Zotac GTX 780 in games, and one of the last things I haven't done yet is underclocking it to factory base clocks. GPU Boost will turbo it to 1084Mhz, while the base for my model is 941Mhz. The problem is, Precision and Afterburner only let me underclock it by -105Mhz, still leaving the clock higher than base!! So I'm still crashing in a few games and can't know for sure if it has something to do with overclocking. How the hell can I underclock my card as much as I want? Without doing some crazy BIOS modding, I'm hoping not to lose warranty.

i wish  i can help you friend

 

but all my UC experience is on AMD cards (not sure if nvidia can)

 

still this may help so, i tell you what i do in my 7850

 

 

i open the CCC (the driver of the card)

 

i put the gpu bar down (i down my 7850 from 920mhz to 800 mhz)

 

and i press apply (on nvidia may be the same... or not)

 

 

by the way, welcome to the forum new friend

Yeah, Nvidia cards can't be tweaked with the driver...

It's limited by the BIOS. It's not a limitation of MSI Afterburner.

what is your driver version?

 

was it a clean install of the drivers

 

if unclocking does not help

 

then your got a faulty GPU that needs RMA

Too lazy to write it again:

And like I said, even underclocking it, it's still an overclock...And I read some games might have an issue with overclock, even if the card itself can handle it

that is def not normal for a GPU to cause a crash

 

RMA it since you just bought it within a year

 

change to the newer GTX970
