Hey, I'm attempting to restore the ability to overclock my graphics card.
Yes, restore.
Originally, I could do it just fine with MSI Afterburner, as long as I had GPU-Z open when I started MSI Afterburner (don't ask me why, I don't know). I tested, it was working, and all was well. However, recently, I've found that I can no longer do so. While everything initially looks set up for when I apply the clock speed offset I choose, actually clicking apply resets all sliders back down to +0 and no changes are made to the clock speed (verified with GPU-Z). I attempted to use Precision X with the exact same results. However, after uninstalling and reinstalling both MSI AB and Precision several times, Precision has shown the odd symptom of crashing on startup if GPU-Z is open at all, and if it's closed, there are no numbers whatsoever next to any sliders. It's not that the sliders are greyed out. I can still make changes in the window (although no changes actually are applied), and the text inputs are still there, they just show no numbers until I enter them and they don't change anything at all. It still reports the correct clock speed and temperature though. I thought it might be a power plan setting or a Geforce Experience or Nvidia Control Panel issue, however, I have reset all Power plans to default, and have browsed through everything I know, with no results. This has lasted for the past 4-something driver updates too, so if it is the driver, it's a lasting bug or a *gasp* removed feature.
Any ideas?
System:
Intel Core i7-4510U
Nvidia Geforce GTX 850M
16 GB of RAM
