So when i manually overclock my gpu lets say 100 mhz, it does just that but when launching a 3d application, nvidias gpu boost takes complete control over core speeds and boosts them up even further, but then decides to decrease the speeds at certain temperatures. Is there any workaround to this. I want my gpu to be at a solid core clock that I MYSELF set it too. i dont want gpu boost to boost my card. in other words, i dont want to see a slow decrease in performance because gpu boost is clocking down speeds. so if i set my 1080 to 2 ghz exactly, i want to stay there i dont want the card to automatically boost itself to 2100 and above. It revs up temps.

I believe it depends on whether your card's manufacturer supports this via software control. That's where I would look first.

Next, I would look in Windows Power Options -> Advanced Power Settings for active plan -> PCI Express -> Link State Power Management (make sure it's set to OFF). While this option doesn't lock clock speed, it disables power savings on the PCI link and reduces latency, which is what you would want on a desktop PC where battery life does not apply.

Hope this helps.
