    Hi.

    I think I messed up my GPU through overclocking. I used 2 programs, EVGA PrecisionX and Nvidia Inspector. First I used PrecisionX, then I reset the values but forgot to turn off Kboost feature before I started using Inspector. And the result is that the default values for my GPU clock and Memory clock are now changed. The new default GPU clock is at 1126 (original default was 1038) and new default Memory clock is at 2505 (original default was 1253). Actually the new default values do not replace the old one - they switch back and forth causing some instability when the card is being used.

    I did find a way earlier to change the values. Which is to turn Kboost back on in PrecisionX. Then I can change the values in Inspector. However, I don't think the values shown represent the actual values on the card because even if I set it the same as original default (1038/1253), the FPS I get in Heaven Benchmark is about -10 to -20 compared to the result I got before I messed around with overclocking.

    I think the main issue now is that the card reads 2 sets of defaults - 1 is the card's original clock values and the other is the one set by Inspector. So does anyone know how to delete/reset the values saved by Inspector OR completely reset the GPU's clock values?

    I already tried reflashing vBIOS, uninstall/reinstall Nvidia driver but neither works. Please help!!
