Issues with overclocking on gtx 970 using windforce gaming
Hi, I recently increased the overclock of my GTX 970 G1 gaming card. I notice a gain of 6 frames per second in Assassin's Creed Origin and 8 in Far Cry, but after about half an hour the FPS drops back to what it was before the overclock. I'm not sure what's causing this issue. Could you help me? I've attached a screenshot from my Afterburner on my PC.
What's your temperature? It might be due to the card's thermal throttling, causing the clock to drop. Currently around 73 degrees with 70% GPU fan speed.
The situation is that your cards turbo boost needs to reduce its power to avoid overheating. This is their normal behavior—they increase speed as long as thermal limits are maintained. Once they begin to rise, the card will automatically lower its output to function properly. Overclocking isn't a reliable solution and doesn't always succeed. You might want to inspect case fans and improve airflow in your setup to help reduce temperatures and maintain the desired FPS.

Once they start rising, the card will automatically lower its output to function properly. Overclocking isn't a sure fix and doesn't always work. You might want to check if your case fans are working well and improve airflow to help reduce temperatures. This should help you maintain the desired frame rate.
