So my GPU has been underclocking down to 300 MHz ALLOT recently and a simple restart doesn't cut it. The only was to somewhat "fix" the issue is to reinstall the driver. So is there any way to fix this?

 

 

It's really pissing me off

 

 

 

HELP MEH PLS

When AMD idles there supposed to underclock to 300Mhz, saves power, as soon as you game it bumps back up to the normal clock speed, if you check GPU-z you'll probably see this happening in real time.
