That sounds like instability of overclocks.

Hi guys, Reddox here with a purely hypothetical question. I was thinking : bottleneck is when your cpu isn't powerfull enought to give your gpu all the data it needs to perform correctly. But what if we use some programs like MSI afterburner (wich is usually used to overclook gpu's) to downclock the bottlenecked gpu. That way, the gpu wont suffer of the usual bugs and bottleneck related issues, even if it wont perform as good as at factory settings. Of course, this method is purely theoric, and I have really no idea if it works. Any suggestions ?

what are you even talking about,its just not running at full utilization,
resulting on lower fps and maybe a bit of stutter. thats it

short answer: no
Long answer: You will downright crash if your CPU can't even provide the right data to the GPU, downclocking will not change anything if not make the situation worse.

Specs: Motherboard: Asus X470-PLUS TUF gaming (Yes I know it's poor but I wasn't informed) RAM: Corsair VENGEANCE® LPX DDR4 3200Mhz CL16-18-18-36 2x8GB

            CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X          Case: Antec P8     PSU: Corsair RM850x                        Cooler: Antec K240 with two Noctura Industrial PPC 3000 PWM

            Drives: Samsung 970 EVO plus 250GB, Micron 1100 2TB, Seagate ST4000DM000/1F2168 GPU: EVGA RTX 2080 ti Black edition

A system will run as fast as it can, until some part of it becomes the limiting factor. Slowing down one part to not make another part no longer the limiting factor isn't going to improve things.

 

If you get crashes, that's something else and not just simple bottlenecking.

Gaming system: R7 7800X3D, Asus ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming Wifi, Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB, Corsair Vengeance 2x 32GB 6000C30, MSI Ventus 3x OC RTX 5070 Ti, MSI MPG A850G, Fractal Design North, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB, Alienware AW3225QF (32" 240 Hz OLED)
