Clock speed/temp issue

I have the EVGA 970 and that card normally runs at 1392mhz when under a gaming load, but for SOME reason when I was playing the witcher 3 today that clock would switch down to 1379mhz for a few minutes then jump back up. And for the life of me I cant see it linking to a temp difference or a usage difference. 

 

My card was at 99% load the whole time (like it usually is in a game like the witcher) and the temps never went above 70c. So I dont know why its doing it. 

 

Its not effecting my ability to play the game at all, but im curious what might be causing it.
