Gigabyte Gtx 1080 Xtreme - stuck on 1278mhz boost.

[mrkip23]

Help i dont know what is causing this. So till today was everything working fine. Boost in 3d was 2000mhz in core clock. Today i run some game i saw that clock is very very below normal values.
So like i said.
I didn't install any software IE: MSI afterburner, precision or anything like that. I dont change anything in Windows and bios.
Even dont change power managament in windows. All default like always.
This issue its from itself. I am using 368.692. 2 weeks card boosting fine to 1990-2000mhz. But just run today any game and i saw low fps, check gpu core clock. And now i have 1278mhz no matter what.

Look:

PC:
6700K no OC
2x8GB Kingston Hyperx
Corsair 750 RM
Gigabyte Gtx 1080 Xtreme
SSD Crucial Bx 100 256 GB
Asus Z170-P
Windows 10


Is my hardware GPU failing or psu or something other?

Try reinstall the driver by using DDU.

I made restart of pc. And clocks are normally again 1990-2000mhz and fps is normal. Any ideas why that happened? Hardware issue or maybe not?

That somebody said to me this:"Often downclocking is associated with overheating, bad drivers, unstable power and sometimes faulty hardware."

Maybe with hardware something that was?

Maybe you had Vsync on? I ran my GTX 1080 on a 1080P display with Vsync on and it only boosted between 1200-1300MHz. It just didn't tax the GPU at all, and this was on Witcher 3 with everything maxed.

So.........
My pc was running all time so smooth and without problems. Gpu clocks was fine always 1990-2000mhz in games and benchmarks.
But last time i rest from gaming and my pc was idle on desktop Windows 10 ,4-5 days. So till today was everything working fine. Today i run some game i saw that clock is very very below normal values. So like i said. I didn't install any software IE: MSI afterburner, precision or anything like that. I am using only GPUZ and FRAPS . I dont change anything in Windows and bios. Even dont change power managament in windows because its balanced. All default like always. This issue appear from itself. I am still using 368.69 drivers. But just today after being idle 4-5 days i sit to pc and no matter what game or benchmark i run i saw low fps, Then of course i check gpu core clock. 1278MHZ no matter what. I restarted pc and all back to normal clocks and normal fps.




Somebody said:"The graphics card will get stuck a lower than full frequency if you have done any overclocking on either card that was not completely stable, it is pretty common for a restart to fix that""

So that can be because my factory oc not stable or its a driver issue?

It's probably not even an overclocking thing. I use to get this on previous cards, a reset would sort it out and it happened less as drivers matured. I've experienced it once with my 1080. I expect it will be sorted out with ewer drivers.

It's when the driver crashes and can't recover properly. I've seen it with mine after an unsuccessful overclock pushed the core into instability. Restarting the PC fixes it.
