GPU slows down without any apparent cause.
GPU slows down without any apparent cause.
Can someone help me fix this. Full Issue: While idling my GPU constantly underclocks itself to a clock I don't think I can achieve in MSI Afterburner I know this is normal as it's under no load but the moment I try to launch a game it remains on the underclocked speeds and doesn't respond to anything no matter what. If I set the Core Clock slider all the way to it's base clock the GPU just ignores it and continues to run at these atrocious speeds. Things I've Tried: Turning on the performance power option in the NVIDIA Control Panel Restarting my PC Multiple Times Reinstalling drivers (and uninstalling using DDU) Adjusting fan curves (it never overheats in the first place) Underclocking in MSI Afterburner to a little below the default clocks then restarting my PC This is an old GPU of mine that a used to get my new build up and running for the first time and I've finally found a good deal on the next GPU I would like. I plan on giving this to my cousin as he uses integrated graphics and although it's not much, it'll definitely run the games he usually plays. Specs: i3-10105F GTX 550 ti (current / the one im giving to my cousin) 16GB of ram at 3200mhz EVGA 500W PSU 1TB SIlicon Power NVME
I faced issues with my GTX 580 and didn't fully resolve them. I tried turning off ULPS in MSI Afterburner, which seems to be the solution. It appears the GPU might be stuck in 2D mode instead of 3D. Maybe updating to an older driver version could help or eliminate the problem.
I put in the older drivers and they seem to be functioning now. The frequency changes from 405mhz when idle to 900 (the normal clock) under load, but it stays at 405 otherwise. I’ll check again to see if issues return.
