So I'm facing some problems with a consistent clock from Afterburner.
I ran p95 for two days without shutting down, and my system remains stable.
Still experiencing some glitchy behavior.
When playing Forza Horizon 3 (a pretty graphics-intensive game), I sometimes get excessive "Low Video Memory" warnings and it looks distorted all around.
This issue hasn't changed since I installed new RAM—now a 16GB Viper DRI3 PC3-15000 at 1866MHz.
Here’s my current Afterburner setup and hardware configuration. It’s running under stress because the game is open but minimized.
I suspect the problem might be related to RAM.
Attached are more pictures of the situation.

Here’s the same setup with MSI, CPUIDs, and Task Manager under load

You're right, the low video RAM is due to the VIDEO card using up its memory, not the computer itself. Reducing the game's graphics settings will help improve performance.

My build details:
MSI 970A Gaming Pro Carbon
Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB (FTW)
RAM: 16GB (2x8GB kit) DDr3 Patriot-Viper, PC3-15000 @ 1866 MHz
Power Supply: Corsair 750W
CPU: AMD FX 8370
SSD: Samsung EVO 250GB
HD: 1TB HD

I upgraded my motherboard to the 970A Carbon and installed the new processor and RAM. However, I encountered several issues. Previously, with only 4GB of RAM, I couldn’t open Forza Horizon 3 at all. With older specs, World of Warcraft ran smoothly on Ultra settings, but now even WoW is very unstable. It seems there might be a RAM or overclocking issue. I was playing Forza on GeForce Experience Customized LOW and WoW on High, and both kept glitching. It looks like the problem could be related to my RAM or overclock settings. My system is still capable of handling those games, so this is definitely something worth investigating.

Download and set up GPU-Z from the provided link. Click the Sensors tab to monitor your GPU activity. This should confirm whether your GPU exceeds 2GB of VRAM.

I began recording sensor data, launched World of Warcraft, and honestly, just by doing this I realized I was hitting memory limits. But I shouldn't have been using medium settings with that card... :/
When I had 8GB of RAM and a weaker graphics card, I ran Wow on some ultra options.

When I managed to achieve around two hours of playtime in Forza Horizon 3 with the lowest settings, it kept triggering low video memory issues. However, after upgrading my build according to Forza's recommended minimum specs, I fell into the medium range. Still, from the experience of WoW glitches and freezes, it seems my card is pushing the memory limits even more than before with my old graphics card, processor, motherboard, and RAM.

In Afterburner, adjusting Voltage, Memory, or Core clock doesn't change the GPU load to a lower percentage.
