So this morning everything was working perfectly fine, I hopped on Black desert playing at around 40-60 fps on maxed graphics except high-end mode. After I stopped playing i went to play league during a league game the screen froze but I could hear my friends talking on discord. It froze for about 5-8 seconds than the game resumes. I also smelt like something burnt coming from my pc for a sec. The smell quickly dissipated. When i went back to play black desert my fps was stuck at 12-15 fps. I went to check clock speeds it says I am only running at 300mhz. My gpu is the r9 290 tri-x oc edition, suppose to be running at around 1000mhz. Im stuck now I have no idea why the gpu is stuck on 300mhz while im on black desert, or any other games. I tried logging to play rise of the tomb raider, but it was running at about 12 frames also. I went back on league and it ran at my normal frames at around 250-400 but the clock speed was still at 300-370mhz. Im thinking it didnt affect league since it didnt require much.
Something with the gpu i also noticed that the fans were making noises. It would sound like vibration from fans when ever i played games that pushed the gpu. The temps were fine last time i checked when it ran at full clock. Overwatch max settings was at about 70-76c
I also did update drivers to latest ones and it did not help.
Another thing, on the amd gpu activity graph the gpu would spike to 999mhz for a bit bout instantly drops back down.
Update: I tried latest version of DDU and reinstalled drivers and the problem still persist. I even disabled hardware acceleration on chrome that people spoke of that causes this issue. I restarted and still same problem. I noticed tho when i loaded up tomb raider the lobby ran smooth and the first 3 sec of the game was smooth. After that back to 12 frames, altho after the initial smooth it lagged than went smooth again for 2 sec. But it began going to 12 frames again and stayed that way. Im thinking it might be heat issues with the card, so im thinking of rma. Could there any other causes? I don't wanna rma if it isnt the card itself.
Here is a screen shot of gpu on idle. I noticed the vrm temp1 is at 103c
