My friend got an MSI 970 4G Gaming recently and is having a weird problem. When he starts up the computer and opens a game, the card is fine. Clocks are fine, everything is fine. But then if he exits it and goes back to open it at some other point, the card seems to be downclocking itself.. or not getting itself out of some kind of "idle" mode. The core just becomes stuck at about 405mhz, the mem at about 810mhz. The only way he can rectify the problem is by completely restarting the computer, and then it's fine until the next time.
He's using the most recent driver update, it happens at stock clocks/voltages. He uses Afterburner to monitor it. Games will drop down to about 20fps when this happens, or just become a complete stuttering mess.
