I fixed it now. Turned PC off, switched off power supply, and then restarted using the actual reset button.

I was trying to play games last night and found that my graphics card wasn't performing nearly like normal. Opening MSI Afterburner showed that the card was being limited to 214MHZ (core clock) for some reason, when normally it should be at 1287MHZ. The only software that would alter the card would be MSI Afterburner, and the Gigabyte Graphics program, which were both set as normal. Can someone please help with what is going on? The card is an AMD RX560 paired with a Ryzen 5 1500x and MSI B350 gaming plus motherboard.

This might be kind of a stupid question, but are you sure it wasn't the game, that didn't run as the "priority application" in windows and therefore caused the GPU to run at idle clocks?

Make sure to tag and/or quote people so they get notified... :P:D 

 

My gear:

                                                         Ryzen 7 2700X / Gigabyte GA-X370M-Gaming 3 / R9 380 Nitro 4GB/ 16GB DDR4 2133 / 225GB OCZ Trion 100 / 3TB of hard drive storage
                                                                                                     AOC C24G1 / BenQ GW2270H(rarely overclocked to 87Hz :P )
                                                                               Razer Blackwidow / Redragon Kumara / Logitech G Pro Wiress / Sennheiser HD 559

                                                                                                        Microsoft LifeCam Studio / Tonor BM700 microphone
                                                                                                         Panasonic Lumix DC-FZ82 / Canon EOS 80D

What are temperatures like? It might be thermal throttling.

The temps are normal, Its in a spacious case with good cooling and has never had heat problems. It runs passively when not doing anything GPU intensive. Even after restarting i left it off all last night and today just turning it on now and still the same problem.  The weird thing is that it stays exactly 214MHZ no more no less...
