Following the GPU overclocking, the screen turned black and frame rate plummeted sharply.
Following the GPU overclocking, the screen turned black and frame rate plummeted sharply.
I increased the clock speed of my GeForce GTX 750 Ti by +180. For two days it worked perfectly, but now I'm experiencing a black screen during games and a significant drop in FPS from 200 to 40-50.
Usually every part comes with a 2-year warranty, particularly if you reside in the EU. So you can return it if the warranty has ended!
Just locate the receipt and mail the card to the store where you purchased it.
The only thing you should avoid mentioning is that you attempted to overclock it. You need to switch the GPU speed back to its original setting and reinstall the driver. Use DDU to remove the driver first, then reinstall it.
If you follow these steps, you'll likely need a new GPU.
Are you certain the system remained stable during the overclocking process? Did you use any software or gradually increase the voltage levels?
Proofy:
Are you certain it remained stable after you increased the speed? Did you use any software or gradually increase the voltage?
I was using MSI Afterburner and followed a methodical approach, increasing by 20 each time. Each run with FurMark showed no issues—pixels and textures appeared normal. Also, I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctqhdBwxeps
Did you verify your GPU temperature using HWinfo/Speccy or another tool? I recommend installing it, playing a game for a short period, pressing ALT+TAB and observing the readings. If they are excessively high, consider overclocking. Also, when was the most recent time you updated your thermal paste?
Ensure you disable any overclocking you performed on the card.
Overclocking doesn’t immediately damage a graphics card.
However, any flaws in the card or its parts might become apparent after some time or usage if it’s overclocked.
This could lead to issues similar to what you’re experiencing now with Leedood.
Consider reducing the GPU core speed by 50Mhz or 100Mhz and adjusting the memory speed as well.
Re-test the system afterward. Also, monitor the GPU temperatures.
If the VRM modules become excessively hot, most cards will notify you about temperature readings for the voltage regulator modules.
This can cause the card to fail and increase heat more significantly due to voltage adjustments for the GPU core and memory voltages.
Such changes may highlight a vulnerability in the card, just like with the GPU or memory during overclocking.
As I mentioned, don’t reveal the full picture until you’ve used the card for several hours or days after overclocking Leedood.

You should back any overclocking off you did to the card.
Overclocking does not necessarily break a graphics card straight away.
But any weakness in the card or a component of it may show it`s self after a few hours or days use when overclocked.
And start to produce problems like you are seeing now Leedood.
Either back the the Gpu core speed off by 50Mhz or 100Mhz and the memory speed if also overclocked.
Then test the system again. And of course the temps of the Gpu.
If the Vrm modules get too hot, not that on most cards it gives a report on the temperatures of the Voltage regulator modules.
It will cause the card to crash, they will also heat up more drastically with any voltage changes made to the card for gpu core voltage and memory voltage as they will have to work harder.
They can be a weak point of a graphics card as much as the Gpu or the memory when overclocking a card.
And as I said don`t show there true colors until a few hours or days of use when a card is overclocked Leedood.
Okay so I set everything back to normal as it was before overclocking, the FPS is still bad and the Gpus temp. is 35-36 while im in the game.When im not in the game temp is around 30-32 so it doesnt change that much as it used to before.One more thing does the Gpu need some break to be full working again?

No, it's not like GPU will heal itself after you did something wrong with it.
😀
Now do just a slight overclock, keep track of the temperature and fps performance. Keep doing that while you're having normal temperatures till you get desirable fps
Proofy states:
You should stop any overclocking you performed on the card.
Overclocking doesn’t immediately damage a graphics card.
However, any flaws in the card or its parts might become apparent after a short period of use when running at higher speeds.
This could lead to issues similar to what you’re experiencing now, Leedood.
Either reduce the GPU core speed by 50Mhz or 100Mhz and adjust the memory speed if it’s also overclocked.
Then re-test the system. Also check the GPU temperatures.
If the VRM modules become too hot, most cards will report this, which can cause crashes.
Voltage changes for GPU core and memory voltage will increase their workload, potentially overheating them further.
They can be a weak point during overclocking, just like the GPU or memory when pushed.
As I mentioned, don’t reveal your true condition until you’ve used the card for a few hours or days after overclocking, Leedood.
So I reset everything to its original state. The FPS remains poor and the GPU temperature stays between 35-36 while playing.
In-game it’s around 30-32, so it hasn’t changed much compared to before.
One more point: does the GPU need a rest to fully recover?
No, GPUs don’t heal themselves after misuse.
Now try a slight overclock, monitor temperature and FPS performance. Continue this while maintaining normal temperatures until you achieve better results.
It doesn’t matter if I overclock it; the FPS is still low and temperature changes slightly. Am I in trouble?
Probable. Give it a slight slowdown, see if FPS rises. Is your GTX 750ti covered under warranty?
