Hey everybody,

 

So, I have completed my pc, burn-in tests etc and I am starting to play games. My first match in World of Tanks had me grinning with a 120 fps on maximum. Next games are less, and i open the gigabyte oc guru to see that my 970 has downclocked to 900mhz!

Anyone know how to stop the downclocking without overclocking?!  :)  :)

Thanks guys

it might not be running at full speed in order to save power.

 

My card runs at 350mhz when not under heavy load , too.
