Serious help needed with downclocking
Hello, everyone.
And yes, I am still alive (though life has not been all that great in the past year), and I was really hoping some of you lovely people could help me out with a problem that's starting to frustrate me beyond my patience and sanity.
So, I have an MSI (nVidia) GT650 Ti BOOST graphics card, which has been factory overclocked. The problem with this is that I get constant driver crashes and/or game crashes when playing certain games. Just Cause 2 and Torchlight 2 crash almost every 10-15 minutes, and Garry's Mod crashes my drivers.
I've tried using multiple driver versions, going as far back as I possibly could without downloading them off of some shady websites, doing a clean install every time of course (I used the built-in option to remove all custom profiles before installing drivers or whatever) - and no changes.
I've thoroughly cleaned my GPU as well, took it off the mobo and everything - and no changes. I actually rolled back from Windows 10 back to 7 because of this issue, thinking it was due to 10 being just a 90% crap OS with tons of **** I never use; and for a while it looked fine, but in the past couple days it started all over again; especially GMod. That game is so weird, sometimes my drivers crash within 15 minutes of starting it up, sometimes I can play for hours before I experience a crash.
So I want to know how to downclock my GPU to the regular 650 (or 650 Ti) settings, if that's even possible - and make them permanent.
