Graphics card stuck at 139mhz - Please help!

[Grimm_]

Hi guys, 

So today, i went onto my PC to game as usual. But my FPS was super low.
I was getting 12fps (In the menu) on fortnite. when i'd usually get 250+ in the menu.
Same applies to other games.

I'm speechless on what's wrong. I checked the GFX Card software to check my speeds and it seems to be locked at 139mhz with the core speed at 1506.

Here's a picture.

I've no idea what has caused this, but i'm hoping you guys can help!

PC Specs:

Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.2ghz
Palit GTX 1060 6GB Dual Fan
8GB Corsair Vengance
550w EVGA Supernova PSU

what driver are you on?

The latest.

The GPU underclocks itself when idling... You should take a screenshot with a game running in the background (windowed mode).

Anyway, uninstall the drivers with DDU and reinstall them (maybe not the latest ones as I have heard problems with the latest GeForce drivers).

Yeah roll back to 391.35

The speeds don't change at all when running in a game, 

Here is what the speeds are @ with a game running. (All on low settings aswell)

As you can see, i'm barely getting even 15fps.


Also what is "DDU" ? & Can you link me the previous driver before the latest (i'm not sure where i can find previous drivers)

[Nocte]

DDU is DisplayDriverUninstaller. It's a program you run after booting in safe mode to completely wipe your GeForce drivers.

When you remove the drivers the system will restart and you can download the drivers again.

legitamately though, you couldl have just gotten a poor quality card?

alternatively, you could always try using your gpu's heat sink as a cheese grater.

[star_weaver]

you could try msi afterburner and use ctrl + F to bring up ther curve and select a freq to run at then hit L to lock then apply - only works for 10 series

also, have you even updated the drivers since last night? if not, your card has fried and i am sorry for your misfortune.

Yup, about a million times at this point.

I'm currently trying the method of using DDU and a older driver as posted above. If this doesn't work, i'll try this method.

Here's what i did, 
 

- Used DDU to uninstall the other driver in safe mode.
- Rolled back to 391.35 as Galaxy said

Here's the result

These numbers are all right when you are at idle. Did you try to launch a game after reinstalling drivers?

That's what happens when the program does not recognise the drivers you have installed. Did you restart the system?

Those are the numbers you get while idling. Launch a game in windowed mode (so that it keeps using the GPU while you alt-tab) and take a screenshot again with AIB in the foreground.
