I recently updated the Nvidia Drivers (I'm always up-to-date) Restarted computer, Asus GPU Tweak 2 didn't startup.

Played Planetside 2, noticed fan making loud noises then turning off, manually opened up GPU Tweak 2 and temps are above 80c, GPU Tweak quickly cools it down.

Today noticed that my GPU clock speeds are jumping around in Planetside 2 (they usually were 1671 - 2100 boost) now they are going from 700 to 1000 to 1500 just jumping around.. feels okay in the game frames are good but occasionally they get lower than normal..

Just a little concerned not sure what's going on. Why do I have to manually start GPU Tweak 2 to cool down the card sometimes? Why are my gpu clocks being weird all the sudden?

Thanks for reading, appreciate any help in advance!

also, my temps are usually 49-59c.

I've only seen it jump to 80 in these rare occasions where I have to manually open GPU Tweak 2, then the card goes full on fan mode and cools it down back to normal.
