(NOTE: I asked this on Gaming, but was closed and pointed here) It's done this so far in Starcraft 2, and also Far Cry 3. How do I stop this from happening? It severely kills performance. I have no idea why this is happening, or what the mechanics of PowerPlay are. But it's only a matter of time before the core clock gets clocked back down to a constantly changing core clock. I have to continually alt-tab out of the game, reapply an overclock in Afterburner, alt-tab back into the game, and start playing again. I've tried closing down CCC and MOM to stop this, but it continues to happen. I'm guessing this has something to do with AMD's PowerPlay? The problem is that although I have an overclock setting of 1150mhz core clock, after a little while in-game, it drops down to around 750mhz, constantly fluctuating up and down a few mhz. From what I understand, this bypasses the need for unofficial Afterburner overclocking, and instead unlocks the limits through Catalyst Control Center, which CCC then manages/controls. I'm using Afterburner to 'natively' overclock a 7950, having used the '-xcl' option.
