Need Help Adjusting Gpu From Downclocking

Every GPU i have ever bought.Never down-clocked.I think i am seeing effects of the down-clock being an issue during game play.It will max out the CPU clock and mem clock to factory settings.But once i exit it game it will down-clock gpu to 300mhz.

Are there any ideas on how to prevent the system from down-clocking the gpu.It's causing FPS drops in-games.My Frame rates go from 85 FPS than it drops to around 40 some times 20 than back up.

 

Incorrect cause and effect -

unrelated to -

Preventing the GPU (or CPU) from going into power saving mode when it's not being stressed is like driving everywhere redlining your engine by only using the lowest gear.

FPS drops in games most likely to be caused by bad game settings/drivers/buggy game.

Want a better chance of help? Post your hardware specs, OS details, display resolution and the game(s).

 

I have been playing Rust mainly...Been getting pretty nasty frame rate drops.

Your CPU looks like the problem/bottleneck:

Minimum:

• Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  
• OS: Windows 7 64bit
  
• Processor: Intel Core i7-3770 / AMD FX-9590 or better
  
• Memory: 8 GB RAM
  
• Graphics: GTX 670 2GB / AMD R9 280 better

Planing on upgrading it to an FX core maybe 8.

 

I was looking into buying this cpu for this board.

Might lessen the logjam somewhat but still not going to reach the recommended minimum grade.

Instead of throwing good money after bad on a dead end platform, drop the game settings to minimum at a low resolution and save up for a real upgrade that'll tide you over for several years.

 

Kinda figured that the CPU would be the bottle neck this case.I bought this cpu back in 2008.When it was first released.I have not been able to buy any type of good computer parts be cause of the Bitcoin mining crap ruined for most people.Things just got to costly.

 

I can build a Ryzen7 build for about 1,000 dollars.I all ready have a good video card so i don't need to buy one.

This is the list i was going to pick.
Phanteks PH-EC416PTG_WT Eclipse P400 Steel ATX Mid Tower Case Glacier White, Tempered Glass Edition Cases

• 
  
• AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Processor (YD170XBCAEWOF)
• MSI X370 XPOWER Gaming Titanium AMD Ryzen X370 Ddr4 Vr Ready Hdmi USB 3 ATX Gaming Motherboard
• • Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)
  • • EVGA Supernova 850 P2, 80+ Platinum 850W, Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode, 10 Year Warranty, Includes Free Power On Self Tester, Power Supply 220-P2-0850-X1
    • • CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H75 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, 120mm Radiator, Dual 120mm PWM
      • I was going to add a secondary monitor.It is driving me crazy not having a second monitor.I can not put my other screen on be cause it does not support the DVI-D connection.So i went with another Element ELEFW2217M 22"1080p PLS LED Monitor

 

Does this motherboard support NAND drives.

 

"2x M.2 support latest SSD devices
NVMe support, up to 32 Gb/s using PCI-Express Gen3 x4"
https://www.msi.com//Motherboard/X370-XPOWER-GAMING-TITANIUM.html

Case style is a personal choice but will it take an ATX MB, does the MB have the functions you need?

I'd get a 'plain' Ryzen 7 1700/2700 (they overclock), an efficient top down cooler (Noctua NH-L12S ?), EVGA/Seasonic 650W Gold PSU, NVMe boot SSD, 2.5" SSD (games/scratch disk/2nd page file?) plus a spinner (1-2TB 2.5") and a 24" monitor.

Budget for a decent 1TB+ external drive for backups as well.

 

I was trying to find info on the board.I was not sure if the slot between the PCI slots was a NVMe support or not.I will probably go with NVMe drive much better in Speed.
