    GPU core is too high, that's probably why your system is downclocking to preserve itself. Even integrated cards can be cooled by clearing the vents and/or using a laptop cooler.

    Don't overclock your card, clean the cooling vents and lower the room's ambient temperature (if possible). Otherwise use a laptop cooler.
