stock clock speed

[App4that]

Since 15.12 I've had issues with my clock speed getting stuck in Afterburner. I've tried un installing and re installing afterburner, and I've tried multiple clock speeds, even stock. It's the worse with Fallout 4. It's really starting to piss me off as every time I leave the game I have to restart my computer for the clock speed to leave max and  have the GPU at idle.

 

4790k

Windows 10

Vapor X 290

Afterburner

 

Here's a screen shot showing no load on the GPU but the clock speeds are maxed, this keeps my temps up.

15.13?

[App4that]

No such thing. Not here in the states. Just 15.11.1 and 15.12.

It looks to me like it's still doing something in the background? I suggest opening Task Manager while it's stuck to see if you have BitCoin miner (that someone put on your PC) or something running in the background.

The GPU usage is at 100%. So the clocks will be at max. From your screenshot it looks like there is no issue. The relation with the graphs of the clock speed and usage is 1 to 1. Something is using 100% of your gpu. Look at the second graph from the top left. Max temps are just as high as my overclocked 390x lol(76-77c).

Also, for better performance you want to have the mem at 1500mhz because it runs faster and at a lower latency at that strap.

There's nothing running. I've checked. You can see that with the temperature as if it was at 100% my temps would be in the 70's

It's something with the VSR(virtual super resolution) I went back to 1080p in my games and it hasn't happened again. But I can't get 100% usage period to really be sure.

You're right. But usually if I just start to put the card under 100% load it hovers around the 60s. Are you running 2+ displays? Min temps are a bit high

VSR is a bit buggy on Crimson sadly. I still use it but it might not work well for you if there's issues in general. Just a side note, upgrading to a 1440p monitor is definitely worth it for gaming and productivity.

Yep, two displays.

I can't run 1500 on the memory because it causes issues unfortunately. Though I might try it again.

Still no issue after switching to 1080p. My main monitor is 1080p which I use in 1440 using VSR, and the side is a 900p junk monitor. don't know if having them at different resolutions could be it but after going back to 1080p I can't reproduce the issue.

[afyeung]

 

Same here. Running a 1440p and 1080p monitor. That might be the issue unfortunately. Did you increase the aux voltage to try and get to 1500?

I want a 1440 monitor in the worst way, but not in the budget. I am replacing the side monitor on Saturday. Ether with an Asus 25" or another Acer 25" like I have now. All depends on what's available in my budget.

OK, put the memory to 1500mhz and though I had some noticeable texture issues (never sure if Bethesda or issue) I didn't have the issue with being stuck at full clock. So don't know if switching to 1080p re set something so when I switched back to 1440 the issue was solved, if the memory being at 1500 fixed it, or if it just hadn't happened again.

I'll play some more tomorrow and see what happens.

[App4that]

Picked up a Asus VX279 today and with both the Acer and Asus set to 1440 using VSR I haven't had an issue with icons moving or the GPU locking at full clock speed.

 

So fingers crossed that was it.
