Every time I interact with my GPU's clocking speeds it causes a wild reaction
The video describes what happens when I overclock or underclock my GPU, and it often causes issues. There isn't much similar information on Google. It's worth mentioning that this behavior isn't consistent every time I start my PC overclocked, though it usually does.
Download some older drivers for your GPU first, then proceed to download this to your desktop.
Start in safe mode with internet access and launch DDU after extraction. Verify AMD drivers are selected, then run Clean and restart (recommended).
Next, boot into Windows without the internet connection and install the earlier downloaded drivers, then attempt again. Remove MSI Afterburner and other overclocking software, then try EVGA Precision for OC.
EDIT: When using EVGA Precision before attempting overclock, move the power target to maximum (as shown in the example from 100% to 150%) and click apply. This does not guarantee immediate GPU response.
Instant instability. Consider adjusting the "power limit" slider first. What specific card are you using? It's hard to see clearly, so are you already pushing it too far or just starting out?
Instant instability detected. Consider adjusting the "power limit" slider first. What specific card are you using? It's unclear if it's already overclocked or if you're at the stock setting. R9 270X Asus is standard, and lowering the power limit didn't improve performance.

What specific card are you using? It's hard to see due to the strain it's putting on my eyes. Are you already pushing it to its limits and reducing speed, or is it at its base specs?
R9 270X Asus – these are standard stock models. Lowering the power limit didn't help.
Increasing the power limit will let the card draw more power from the PSU, which should help stabilize the clock speed you're aiming for.
JalYt_Justin shared their experience with flyinghippo.itsjalapeno. They mentioned trying different settings and found that adjusting the "power limit" slider might help. They asked about the specific card they're using, noting it's a standard model and that lowering the power limit didn't improve stability. They also tried increasing the power limit to see if it stabilizes the clock speed.

Are you playing with your memory or your main clock? The main clock shouldn't cause too much trouble, but messing with the memory on some cards can lead to strange effects on your screen. It doesn't matter whether I change the core or the memory, both cause instability. It doesn't become weird if I adjust the power limit.
How high are you aiming for the performance? The online reviews mention a maximum clock speed of 1215 MHz and a memory speed limit of 1500 MHz. I don’t change the memory settings on my GPU; I’ve tried three different cards without success. I set the power limit to full, temperature limit to full, and fans to full. I went into settings and checked the unlock voltage control. If needed, I slightly raise the clock speed and then the voltage until I reach a stable balance. If that doesn’t work, I’m stuck.

i'm trying to figure out the best way to boost my setup. online info says the gpu can go up to 1215 mhz and memory up to 1500mhz. i stick with the default settings, but i haven't managed to push the memory speed higher on any card. i've turned power limits and temp limits to max, fans on full speed, and checked unlock voltage control. if it doesn't react well, i try a bit more voltage until i find a stable balance. interestingly, it works even when i underclock by 5 mhz.
