Hello!

I recently installed a EVGA GTX 960 and so far it has been working perfectly. However, when I was playing The Witcher 3 earlier today, I noticed that the GPU Core clock was hovering around 1442Mhz at times, where as my GPU clock speed is supposed to be 1279Mhz. Is this a feature of the GPU or is it something else?

Thanks for the help.

Nope, just ran Witcher again for a few minutes and this time it was constantly running at 1430.2. It's a 4GB EVGA SSC 960 if that makes any difference.

*EDIT* Actually, I don't know if this is a coincidence; but my Nvidia drivers have crashed 3 times in the last 15 minutes; and one time before it crashed a few black squares appeared on my screen. Idling at 29 Degrees and Load at 70. So much for it running perfectly haha. Any ideas?
