I have the Gigabyte Windforce 3 R9280x with a factory OC to 1100mhz.
Since yesterday ANY game i play only goes up to 1000mhz.
My PC is not struggling with anything.
- The temps are average and well below 60.
- CPU has enough ressources left,
- The RAM is only half used,
- Games load fast as usual.
So why the throttle?
The only thing i can think off is that it doesn't go to 1100 (or whatever i choose in afterburner) simply because it doesn't need to .. but still.. It went to 1100 or 1080 if i asked for it a few days ago playing the very same titles.
PS: Just ran Tomb Raider benchmark at Ultimate settings to make sure i use my card to the fullest. It didn't move .. clock is stuck at 1000mhz.
PPS: Ran the Sleeping Dogs benchmark at Extreme settings and created a afterburner log @ http://www.heypasteit.com/clip/1HFU
Hmm... some type of power saving going on or is my card broken?
