today i started up bf3 and noticed my frames were at 43fps at ultra and i thought "wtf?" so i checked my clock speeds and the core clock was stuck at 536mhz and my memory clcok was at 800mhz :[ why does this happen? its the second time it has happened

{GPU is a msi 660ti pe oc, normal core clock-1205mhz normal memory clock-3506mhz} yes its OC'd

Restarted and things work:
Unless this happens a lot, then there's nothing to do. You may have had a glitch caused by another game or program which restarting sorted out. I doubt it's your video drivers.

I just helped someone else with the same issue and he had problems after installing some Skyrim mods. They may have caused a memory leak or other issue. Rebooting solved his issue, at least for now.

Hi,
1. What does "prefer Maximum Performance" do in your NVidia Control Panel?
(globally or just for BF3)

*It's under "manage 3D settings"-> "power management mode" and disables the adaptive GPU clock ability.

2. Is issue with BF3 only or other games?

3. What is your NORMAL framerate at this setting?
(I have most things at the highest quality and can barely maintain 60FPS on my GTX680 @1200MHz), i7-3770K, 2133MHz DDR3.

this is the second time it happened and i dont remember what game it was last time....normal fram rate is 55min-60fps because i use vsync but i run at 768p (ultra preset) for stability (game looks good either way) and yes its under "prefer maximum performance. i restarted the computer and things went back to normal
