Stuck GPU Core Clock

[Kakashigamer]

Hi guys,

I've got a bit of a problem over here. My gpu core is 500/1000 but the moment I open up any game it gets locked to 501/850.

So I did some research first and found that Browsers Hardware acceleration was causing some people to have this issue. But that doesnt fix the problem for me.

I also tried reinstalling my drivers. The core clock is fine with every other application but the moment I start a game its locks and stays locked till reboot.

any help?

Have you overclocked at all on the GPU?

Its a sapphire hd 7950 vapor x oc edition. 

Standard clock is 850mhz, there is a button on the graphics card itself and it bumps it up to 950.

When I open radeon setting its says that the GPU clock speed is 950Mhz but like I said it locks itself to 501 mhz in idle and 850mhz under load.

There cant be any temperature issues because it never ran over 70C and usually sits around 60 or less.

Make sure that u Cleanly remove the driver so it wont bring up the old settings again , u can use a third party tool to do this or remove the driver leftover files urself , also try a different WHQL driver and see if it works , leave the ez boost button off at first. 

 

Note try monitoring ur core clock and gpu usage via Msi after burner to get a live view of whats going on ( if u didnt do this  already ).
