Graphics Card: XFX R7870
CPU: AMD FX 8350
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Lately I've been trying to overclock my Graphics Card and I've noticed something odd. When I have MSI Afterburner and monitor the card performance while playing a game I notice the numbers are on the low side. My Core Clock is clocked to 1050Mhz but when in game it's at steady 925Mhz. It's the same story with the Memory Clock too. That's clocked at 1100Mhz but it's running at a super low 435 that's when my card is idle and running a game. I've tried increasing the values using MSI Afterburner but I had no luck. The values stay exactly the same. Even overclocking by quite a huge amount doesn't help and causes screen tearing if I go to high. I had an issue a couple of months back where my old Graphics Cards (Radeon 7850) GPU usage would drop after 5 minutes of gameplay and continuously change from 90% usage to 40%. That turned out to be a motherboard compatibility issue causing my card to bottleneck. I fixed it by buying a new motherboard. I was wondering if it could be a similar issue? Thanks for the help in advance.
