750ti GPU Clock Speed Stuck

[quakea]

So I was trying to overclock my GPU (GTX 750Ti FTW) using PrecisionX 16. I open up the program while not doing anything else and it shows 1188MHz clock, which is the default clock (It should be lower since its idle). I set the GPU clock offset to +115, and the clock speed is stuck at 1188MHz. I also changed the memory clock to +55. I went on to GPU-z, and the clock speed showed 1204MHz. But when I went to the sensors tab on GPU-Z it shows the same (default) values as PrecisionX. When I go into FurMark the GPU clock starts showing the actual values on PrecisionX, and GPU-Z. Is it because the GPU is not at full usage and its not showing anything under 1188 MHz ? Is the GPU actually overclocked ? Is there anything I can do to fix this ?

during idle, you're not using much gpu horsepower thus your gpu doesnt need to run as fast

but under load, it will ramp up

 

it doesnt matter as long as it ramps up when it's needed

 

but 1188mhz is sorta high for idle, do you have shadowplay running for desktop capture by any chance? or something else is running in the background?

I have pretty much nothing else open, just Chrome and Steam.

try turning off shadowplay if you have it,

i've had my gpu pinned at 1000+ mhz while idle and after some digging, i found that my shadowplay was recording my desktop lol

I actually don't have anything from nvidia downloaded except the drivers themselves. GeForce Experience and Shadowplay were pretty useless to me.

well then your problem lies elsewhere `-`

 

but it doesnt really matter if your gpu still performs as intended upon load

just that it consumes more electric while idling
