I bought a 750Ti FTW edition card, and ive been overclocking it, and using 3Dmark to find out what its max OC is, and it was going fine until i got to a 40+ offset, then the card started giving me 30FPS and lower. even when i set it to factory settings. Why is this happening?

Yeah the computer works fine every time, if i turn it off, and leave it for a while, then turn it back on, it runs games (like fallout 4 on high) fine, but using it for a while, i notice stuttering and FPS drops

If it was overclocked that sounds like a symptom of the clock speed is too high or the card is over heating, or the card isnt getting enough power

Basic stuff but in case you haven't tried:
Do you have a decent brande power supply with minimum 15A on the 12v rail, if its a cheap brand then it would need even more amps (your lucky to get 2/3 the rated watts on a cheap PSU). Does it have an power connector, if so is it plugged in?
Are your temperatures ok (ie bellow 70)?
Have you tried to reinstall the drivers after wiping the installed drivers?

If all esle fail EVGA has excellent warranty service ...

It was barely OC'd though.
like i said, 20-40+ offset,
the temps are fine, sitting at 35-40 at idle. 50 at load.
My PSU is a Corsair CX600M Semi-modular supply,
yeah the card has a 6 pin connector that is plugged in,
No ill try re-installing the drivers, what site would i be most likely to get the most up to date drivers on?
I got a utility and driver disk with the card, but i dont have a disk drive to use it on.
