GPU OC Continues Restarting to Default Rates During Gameplay
GPU OC Continues Restarting to Default Rates During Gameplay
Hey everyone,
I'm facing a problem with my R7 370 where it resets back to stock speeds after playing games. It seems that switching tabs while gaming causes the speed reset too. The manufacturer lists a 995 mhz core clock, but Afterburner and HWMonitor show 925 mhz during gameplay. I'm running heavy titles like Assassin's Creed: Unity and Tomb Raider 2013. My OC speeds are 1060 mhz core and 1480 mhz memory (1400 mhz stock), with a power limit of +20%.
I've reinstalled Afterburner, used DDU to clear drivers and reinstall again, but it still doesn't fix the issue. I'm not sure what to do next. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
What temperatures does your GPU reach? It appears the AMD CCC overdrive is stuck at default settings, preventing overclock speeds once a certain temperature is hit (even though you adjusted them in Afterburner).
Why not use the AMD Overdrive utility from CCC for overclocking instead?
Up to now, I’ve used CCC for overclocking and adjusting fan speeds on all AMD cards, achieving great outcomes. Just ensure the clock speeds match your needs and boost the fan speed accordingly to balance noise, cooling, and performance.
The temperatures your GPU is reaching are quite high. It appears the AMD CCC overdrive is operating at its default configuration, which prevents the overclocking once a certain threshold is crossed—even though you've adjusted the settings in Afterburner. Would it be worth trying the AMD Overdrive utility from CCC for this purpose?
So far, using CCC for overclocking and adjusting fan speeds has yielded good results. Just ensure the clock speeds match your desired settings and adjust the fan speed accordingly to balance noise, cooling, and performance.
Typically, with overclocking (OC), my temperatures hover around mid-high 60s C, while stock clocks average about 60C. I've applied similar settings via Crimson Global Overdrive and Afterburner, but the same outcome occurs.
Stock speeds are 995MHz and 1400MHz. However, after resetting speeds in both Overdrive and Afterburner, HWmonitor and Afterburner only display 925MHz, while the memory remains stable.
Do you think the new Crimson drivers might be contributing to this issue? My previous card, an OEM HD 7570, never experienced these problems and was also running CCC.
Additionally, it seems to reset randomly—sometimes after switching tabs or closing/opening the PC, the speeds don't return to normal. It sometimes forces a full restart just to make changes effective.
