So I recently OC'd my 670 core clock to 1230 mhz using msi afterburner and when I play games such as ArmA 2 my my core clock wont go past 1019 mhz? I tried tweaking the voltage settings and other stuff in afterburner but it still wont go above 1019... any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Could be a driver associated issue, tried reinstalling drivers?

Did you verify if you are using +20% of the power target, I am not sure if Afterburner has it but you can download EVGA Precision X and be sure to set that setting, it will allow the card to use more current when needed (If you rise clock speeds you will)

Well like I said before, it has only been locked at 1019 recently. When I initially OC'd it with afterburner it was performing fine. But I will try using precision x when I get home from work later. Do you think I should uninstall afterburner before I use precision x or is it to have both at the same time?
 


As long as you don't have them running at the same time, it would be no issue. I also like precision X better, as it actually is more stable with higher overclocks, believe it or not, but it actually is.

You can use both, as they automatically refresh with the actual card settings, what i am not sure is if afterburner has the power target option so try to close it before opening precision x.
Keep us updated of your results

So I installed precision x and set offsets and voltages like I had them in afterburner and for some reason now im stuck at 706 mhz....

Hey I fixed it. It was a driver issue. For some reason when I did the normal reinstall drivers thing it didnt do anything. But when I manually uninstalled them and installed them it fixed it.
