    1 minute in the first test the card gets quite slow, the FPS drops by from like 30 to 15 It runs at 60 degrees according to HW monitor so it should not be too hot. How do i prevent it from downclocking, i run it on 600/1550/950

    I changed to 580/1500/950 and it didnt downclock Max GPU temp in test was 70 degrees and 60 on the CPU

    have you switched off powermizer because it could be causing problems. You can do this with the powermizer switch
