I've been messing around with my msi gaming gtx 970 for awhile now and been having an issue with throttling. I followed all the guides around and raised my power limit to 110%, left my memory at 350 because i get artifacts/crashes at 500 (8k memory)..was able to get my core clock to 1500mhz and stayed stable.. However while benchmarking Firestrike i noticed my core downclocking to 1470-1500..it's as if it's being throttled by something..I checked my TDP and it does reach 113% on GPU-Z during the bench.
Could that be it? What should i do at this point? I don't believe i reach that high of a TDP while playing games like bf4 etc or even running Heavan benchmark. Is this just a Firestrike thing? Also does raising voltage to +87mv help at all? Thanks and I appreciate the help.
