Says it all in the title. When I was looking at AMD Catalyst, it was saying the GPU Clock was 486MHz, which I would think is pretty low. Is there a reason why this may be happening?

I think I was running LA Noire in the background, but even if I wasn't, I have been noticing a huge performance decrease lately. I was running the performance benchmark for NBA 2K14, which before I was getting like 90 fps on, now suddenly after a computer reset I'm only getting 45 fps.

uninstall software and reinstall..and watch those temps..i have 2 290s in crossfire and i have to put one away cause these cards get HOT!!...with both running i could heat my apartment lol...top card hits 95c while bottom card is alot cooler..got so bad i had to take one out so it would stay cool thinking about water cooling a card....but does sound like a software issue download MSI Afterburner and it should tell you the clock speed you can raise it or lower it.
