GPU CORE CLOCK

[Xiopop]

I have a laptop. My CPU is a 4720HQ and my GPU is a 960m. I was playing witcher 3 and both my CPU And GPU were at 100% load. Both were below 70°C but for some reason my GPU was running at 540mhz down from the original clock speed of 1202. Why Is this? And how can I correct it as I would like the extra FPS. Thank you

do you power-saving features enabled in the nvidia settings?

maybe the temp readout on the program you were using was wrong? because a notebook at 100% load normally gets way hotter than 70c

You can't unless you want your laptop to overheat, laptop are designed to thermal throttle when they get too hot. laptops just can't support they type of cooling needed for gaming components.

normally my CPU and GPU run up to 88°C without problems. I know it is not good bu tj have never been hotter than 88°C on my CPU or GPU

Ok that's ruled out, you should try reinstalling your drivers or updating them if you haven't already.

Did you use DDU? If not then use it and then reinstall the same driver you had, if that doesn't work then a clean install of windows might be needed.
