So I was over clocking my Gigabyte GTX 970 Xtreme while using GPU-z and everything was going fine. I had Heaven benchmark open and it was running fine as i slowly overclocked more and more. I had a few crashes but i lowered it till it was stable. I went back to cs which i was getting over 400fps with a 144hz monitor before i overclocked and i was getting 20-25 fps on average. Im not sure what ive done but its not just cs thats running like shit, the bench mark score on heaven was lower. I have a 6600k overclocked to 4.3GHz btw

Im not sure what i overclocked the gpu to because after the performance drop i reset it to default.(i was using guru 2)
I did delete guru as well and restarted but still nothing.

Thanks in advanced

Some overclocking software for graphics card, new software.
And also new cards have a feature where you can burn the selected clock setting or adjustments you made to a profile where it is stored as a profile and burned to the Bios of the graphics card WindowLicker.

It does this so it retains any over clocked settings when power is cut from the whole system.
And when powered up reads the profile stored or burned to the bios of the graphics card.

So you don`t have to tinker with setup again, or you remove the overclocking software from the system.

If you load up and install Guru2 overclocking software again you should see profile settings from 1 to 5 as multi slot positions, and a option button of burn to bios.

Simply select the the...

Simply select the the profile, and load it up.

If the clock values of the profile selected when looking at them are the correct values you set.
alter them, or lower them setting them then save the profile and select burn to bios again.

Make sure the option if it exists of 0db fan is not ticked also.

As it will cause the card in some cases due to it being selected the clocks of the cards Gpu and memory speed to run at a much lower clock speed rate when playing a game with the card causing bad Frame rates in games.

Your not the first one to be caught out by this new option in overclocking software for the new, or latest graphics cards you can now buy.

I found this out by a lot of head scratching, finally clicking as it being the cause WindowLicker.

For Gigabyte`s overclocking Guru II.

Yeah i installed guru again, all the profiles were set to default. Im not sure what you mean by the burn to bios button, there is an apply button if thats what you mean. I clicked apply on one of the defult profiles but its still the same performance. http://imgur.com/a/7GaZw you can see in the netgraph sv and var are messed up but im not sure what they mean
Thanks for you help as well btw
