Stuck in idle

Hieb · May 15, 2015

Hi, the past few days my GTX 760 has been stuck in idle speeds any time I quit a game. Rebooting the system fixes it, until the next time I quit a game at which point it goes back to idle (568MHz) and gets stuck there until I reboot my system again.

Power management is set to prefer maximum performance, I've tried increasing voltage and clocks in MSI Afterburner to no avail.

Any ideas? I really don't want to have to restart my computer every time I want to launch a game

Try reinstalling your drivers.

I had this happen a few times with my GTX 980.

I'd notice my framerate was about half what it normally would be and that is when I'd alt tab and see my 980 wasn't going above about 540mhz.

I'd restart my system and it would be fine after that.

I can't be 100% sure but I want to say it would happen after I had messed with some settings in MSI Afterburner.

Since then Nvidia has released new drivers and MSI Afterburner has been updated so I couldn't tell which one was the cause but I haven't noticed this happen for a couple months now.
