Hey, So I was gaming using steam and my GPU was running at the clock speed of around 1300-2000 Mhz. After a while maybe 30 minutes or so it throttled down to 30 Mhz and then it went back up to 400 Mhz. After that it just stuck to 400 Mhz and It doesn’t reset and work more till I reboot. I used the Nvidia Setting’s PowerMizer to look at the clock speeds and have set the offset to 200 Mhz to see if that makes any difference. I game a lot so this is really important to me, any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks! Below is my system info.
