Hey
My games like FIFA 16 started lagging all of a sudden I usually run this game fine at 25 FPS
but recently i opened up MSI Afterburner and Kombustor for fun just to see if i could a little more fps but then all of a sudden the tesselated spheres thing in which i usually get 25 fps ( i know not great but still) dropped to 8 fps!!
So i went into gpu z and sure enough the clock speeds and memory clock were just like i had set them in msi afterburner (Originally the Default clock = 810 MHz I pushed it till 1014 MHz and the memory was orginally at 553 MHz and i pushed it till 668 MHz and the shader was at 2028 MHz orignally at 1620 MHz) but when i went into sensors it said under
GPU core clock was only at 270 MHz
GPU memory clock was only at 360 MHz
GPU Shader clock was 540 MHz

My specs are:
Nvidia Geforce GT610
8 GB RAM
Intel core duo 2.93 GHz
 
Solution
Best guess it now overheats and slows down, set back to stock and see if it goes back to normal, that's not even a gaming card I wouldn't say ocing it is a good idea
