Need help reducing clock speed?
Hi, your GTX 960 with a 2GB GPU is overheating due to the high clock speed. When playing games, temperatures can reach 85°C at 1290MHz. Lowering the GPU core clock could help reduce heat, but it might affect performance. Underclocking should not cause crashes, though it may slightly impact gaming experience. You're aiming to lower the clock speed to manage GPU temperatures.
Only a slight drop in performance is expected. You might also attempt using an undervoltage first.
Reduce the voltage instead; decreasing the clock speed doesn't always mean a drop in voltage, and voltage plays a role in temperatures.
