GPU Overclock Mistake...

[FusionDeck]

So, I was playing around with MSI Afterburner (been running it for the last few months, with a mild overclock just fine) on my GTX 750 ti, somehow, I happen to accidentally boost the core clock to +1000... I immediately dropped it back down after realizing this. I was on Rocket League at the time, and the screen went black after I applied the changes (to the +1000 overclock). I thought nothing of it, and re-launched the game, thinking that brining the OC down to normal level would fix it.

 

Long story short, my GPU is now running slower than usual. I can barely run Rocket League, CS:GO or any other games, without having major FPS issues. Even in *Minecraft*, I'm getting lower than usual FPS (usually at about 200 - 350FPS) with approx 75 FPS. While in any game, the load on my GPU is always at about 98% - 99%.

 

If you understand this - what did I manage to break?

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention that my temps are fine - running about 40 - 41 degrees C while in-game.

Change it back to stock settings, (Actual stock) Or flash a different BIOS.

are you sure you set your clock to "0" and not "-something" (put the slider not all to the left)

 

setting clock to high cant dmg your gpu, it just doesnt run at this frequency. only adding to much voltage (which cant be applied by afterburner, just with a custom bios) can potencially damage your card.

 

also do a restart of your pc, your gpu driver propably crashed with that high clockspeed and needs to be restarted

reinstall drivers. 

 

and check properly if it's a positive overclock not a negative.

Yea, it's all running at 0, and I'm not even able to change the core voltage on my card, just the power limit.

Bring it down to stock speeds

I've already done that, and it didn't work.

did you reboot? reinstalled your driver yet?

Reflash the Bios, Clear CMos and see what happens (been there dude)

Reinstalling the drivers done the trick! Thanks for the help!
