GPU using idle clock while gaming.

GTX 670 Power edition using idle clocks while gaming.

This gpu has a gaming clock of core/mem 1189/3000 but for some reason it is using the idle clocks 324/324mhz.

For some reason if i restart my computer the first game i open will use the gaming clock speed, any game after that will use idle clocks.

Something similar to this can happen when the driver crashes, you got any overclocks running?

I have never overclocked this card, no driver crashes either. Something weird to point out is that when i alt tab to desktop and back to the game for some reason the clock get higher from 324/324 to 1024/3000mhz.

You can try to perform a clean driver reinstall or roll your GPU driver to an older version and try that again.

Well for me it´s the current 364.51 but you can roll back to older versions, for trying it.
