Hi there guys

I'm have an issue with my graphics card.. it is a Asus 1060 6gb OC and suddenly I've been having problems with 3d softwares, crashing and all always at the same time (usually when they depend on the gpu effort).. I was looking for what could be the problem and checked that on the gpu monitor that the clock was stuck at 250mhz even when i was pushing hard for it... the base clock is around 1600mhz so.. even in idle, it shouldn't drop as low as it is right now...

I always install all the updates for the drivers and since sunday, I've reinstalled the drivers, did the clean install with the removal of all drivers behind in safe mode and all and still gives me the same problems...

any advice? could you help me here?
thank you

nope... when I restart it, it peaks to the base clock for 2 seconds and then is always at the same clock.. no changes :/

Have you contacted ASUS support about it? They seem to have no Idea that this issue is very common.
