So I have a Quadro 600 and I love Overwatch at the moment. So I was getting a solid 40 - 50 fps at the lowest settings... However, I overclocked. I used MSI Afterburner to overclock and got the Core Clock to 835 MHz and the Memory Clock to 1040 MHz (pretty high right!?). So, I ran Overwatch and is ran well! I could run it at a solid 50-60 fps at medium! So, I could finally play overwatch at good settings and didn't have to hurt my eyes every time I looked at the screen. And there I was, happy as could be playing Overwatch and grinding. Then this happened: It switched back down to the default factory clocked settings! But I immediately tried to revert back simply by applying my profile. It did not work. I kept trying but Overwatch was now running at 15-30 fps. The core clock was back at 405 MHz and the Memory Clock was also at 305 MHz. It sucked! I wasn't able to play for days, so I rebooted and the same problem still occurred. I tried switching profiles; didn't work. I looked at videos saying to change the configuration; said Access denied even though I am the Admin and wouldn't let me save. All of this happened in a very small space of time. I switched off Overwatch to watch a video and that's when it happened I tried to switch programs; nope! Someone must help! Thanks a million!

Try right clicking the program you use to overclock you graphics card and run the program as an administrator, and also to have a stable over clock you have to turn up the voltage, but remember more voltage equals more heat. I'm assuming your using MSI After Burner right?
