Well that looks to be the problem. For some reason the GPU clock isn't using the 3D clock.

As for your memory usage, technically there is 4GB of VRAM on the 970, however it's got that infamous partition at 3.5GB where the last 512MB is clocked much slower.

The first thing I would do is, uninstall your driver using DDU and then re-install the driver and see if that fixes the problem.

Sounds like the driver isn't detecting your 3D application (GTA 5 in this case) and adjusting the core / memory clocks accordingly.

Do you use Afterburner with the OSD? You can use this to confirm this by displaying your GPU clock while gaming. It should go up to something higher than 1300MHz.

I checked it, and its running at about 500MHz!!!!
The Memory usage is at 3900, even though its only 3.5 gb ???

BTW, i had two 970s but took one out.

Good to hear you have it sorted.

Replacing the driver is always a good place to start with these sort of problems. Driver problems aren't always present when you first install them. Windows (and it's drivers) is a very complex ecosystem much like our planet. What might seemingly be totally unrelated applications / drivers / software that shouldn't interact with your drivers can cause issues you wouldn't expect. Sometimes making changes to something can cause other things to "break". Factor in updates to Windows and the situation becomes even more complex.

I've seen Afterburner cause issues with drivers that uninstalling Afterburner didn't fix, I had to uninstall Afterburner and the graphics card drivers and re-install them to fix the issue.
