I have a 970 xtream and was overclocking it with guru 2 and heaven benchmark open. I was tweaking it till it was stable but when i went to hop on cs where i was getting over 400fps on a 144hz monitor i was suddenly getting 20fps. The heaven benchmark score was lower and over games were running like trash. Ive tried reinstalling guru 2 and resetting all the profiles to default but nothing has worked.

I have a 6600k overclocked to 4.3GHz
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

Looks like you hit a power limit perf cap for just a second or two. That'll be something you want to keep an eye on. If you haven't already, raise the power target slider to max, to keep that from happening again.

As for what's "stable". Every game and benchmark are slightly different. What's stable for one, likely won't be stable for another. That's just something you'll have to play with and find settings that work for your favorite games.

Open up GPUz to the sensors tab, and have it running the next time you run a benchmark or play a game. It'll tell us what your GPUs are doing, and what the problem could possibly be. Post a screenshot...

Listing out your system specs would be helpful as well.
