Hello everybody i recently was not too happy with my pc's gaming performance as far as FPS go i was getting around 41 to 51 FPS on newer games like Rise of the tomb raider and even as low as 12-30 FPS on same newer game. So i decided to try my luck overclocking my GPU to get an extra 10 FPS or so i can get as close to that 60 as possible. While doing so i had my PC shut down on me 3 times, which came as a surprise to me because i watched all my gauges and used MSI Afterburner like most do and only raised my core level and memory lvl around 10 point increments at a time to avoid a shut down like these as i didn't want to damage any of my components.
But i noticed something that worries me a lot... Before i started trying to overclock my GPU at all and even into the second try i was getting over 1300mghz core clock and 4000 mghz memory clock . Now after the pc shut downs Afterburner is claiming that i am only getting 135mghz in core clock and 105mghz in memory clock.
When i start up a game like Rise of the tomb raider it seems to be running around the same FPS as before but i am still worried about my GPU especially with what afterburner was saying about my speeds. I also have other questions now such as : will it ever be the same again on reading my clock speeds, will i be able to attempt overclocking in the future due to this ?
I am open for any feedback. To anyone willing to reply in an attempt to help me, you have my deepest appreciation in advance.
