GPU clocks are unexpectedly decreasing.
GPU clocks are unexpectedly decreasing.
I increased my GTX 1060's overclock earlier today for benchmarks. The EVGA Precision X OC overlay works better for me than MSI Afterburner because it’s simpler to read. I ran tests in Unigine Valley, but I’m unsure if I noticed the clock drops while overclocking during the benchmark. Then I tried Infinite Warfare and everything seemed fine until my clocks dropped from 2101mhz to 1406-1807mhz, fluctuating constantly, and my frame rate fell from 90 to 30 every few minutes. The temperature stayed around 60-70°C, but Unigine Valley pushed it higher to 72. I’m trying to figure out how to fix this issue.
1. Verify your GPU cooler, clean it and replace the thermal grease.
2. Consider using a different 6 pin or 6+2 pin connection, which might be due to a faulty cable.
3. Set power target as priority, then revert to factory settings; if your 1060 gas has a 140 watt power target, adjust to 145 watt (increase the rest).

I owned a GTX 650 Ti that was overclocked, and the same issue occurred. The cause seemed to be a damaged 6-pin cable, possibly a faulty one.
