Hello, I have a problem.
3 days ago I started with overclocking my GPU. Everything was fine. Yesterday i was playing The Witcher 3 with almost everything on high with smooth 60 FPS. But then, even without changing anything (same setting, same overlock), the FPS started to jump between 40 and 60 and i mean litearlly. Even when i am just stading on one place and looking on the same spot, my FPS are 60 for two seconds and then 40 for two seconds. My memory clock and core clock are not changing, core clock stays on 2100MHz and memory clock is on 4300Mhz. Can someone help me?
Sorry if my english is bad.
HW:
ASUS Geforce GTX 1060 3GB
AMD FX 8350
Gygabyte 990x gaming sli
16GB ram

It probably has to do with the overclock. It's not weird to see an issue appearing later on. Your GPU is also not that powerful to handle the game (which is a heavy one, nonetheless).

Reset to the default speeds and see if there's any difference.

Don't really know. You have to think of anything you might have even accidentally done to your pc ever since that happened. Again, it's not weird to notice performance changes from time to time, it even happens to my rig.

Any temperature changes?

The best thing you can do is update your drivers. Go to NVIDIA's download drivers page select your GPU and your operating system and download the latest ones. Then, restart your pc and see if there's any difference.

If the problem is still there, you could carefully remove your GPU and then take the CMOS battery out and put it back in.

There could be numerous reasons for why this is happening that you can't find right away.

If nothing happens, you could take it to a repair store and have them check it out.

I will try it. Do you think that reinstalling windows could hep too? It might remove all settings and make my card work again normally.

Only if it is a software issue.

If it is hardware related, a format would be meaningless. Better take it to someone.

By the way, you could open your nvidia control panel and reset the settings to default.

Go to manage 3d settings and restore.

OK, I have done everyting and nothing helped i will have to make a complaint. I just want to ask you if you thing that the problem might be in some other component like CPU or motherboard.

I don't know. A professional should help you on this.

I'd suspect solely the CPU only if it was hitting high temperatures (constant 75+ degrees celsius).
