recently I noticed a dramatic drop in fps than usual and opened up msi after burner and it is clear why I was getting low fps. under full load the core clock will not go above 405MHz, even though the stock clock speed of my card is

Core Clock
OC Mode: 1253 MHz
Gaming Mode: 1228 MHz

Boost Clock
OC Mode: 1317 MHz
Gaming Mode: 1291 MHz

I also noticed that the memory clock speed is stupid low too 810MHz instead of 7200MHz

here is a screen shot with fur mark and msi after burner open. I have had the card for about a year so I dont know why this is happening. any answers are appreciated:)

Update:
Core Clock was fixed by updating the drivers(returned to normal)
Memory clock was improved to 3600MHz but still not fixed

There is no issue with memory speed, it's just MSI reading it at half speed. It does the same for me on my 980m, but the card runs perfect. As you can see, it's reading at 3600, exactly half of 7200.

After making the post I realized there was a driver update available for the card so i updated and it fixed the core clock speed problem but not the memory clock speed problem
