Hello,

I had tried over clocking the FTW 3 Ultra card and it crashed mid game and the monitor went black upon startup. I have apparently overwritten the original over clock that was damn solid and went from 110fps down to 60fps in the game I was playing. Is there a way to reset the card back to the original over clock it shipped with?

Thank you!

Is your game running vsync? You can't overwrite the factory oc it's in the bios. Make sure your precision x1 is on default settings.

Got it. I had used the Nvidia Automatic Tuning and when I disabled it, Gears of War 5 went from 110fps on 1440p down to 60fps with the video settings unaltered. I will try downloading Precision and setting to default. This is the first pc that I built and am definitely a novice when it comes to overclocking. I appreciate the help!

If you didn't use Precision x1 to overclock your video card, there is no reason to download and install Precision x1 to set it to default.

He was ASSUMING that you were overclocking using Precision x1, because you said that you were overclocking the video card, and Precision x1 is made by EVGA for overclocking video cards.

An overclock is not saved to the video card. The most you have to do to get rid of an overclock is reboot your computer. As long as you don't have a program set to automatically overclock the video card every time to computer is booted, the video card will be default at every boot.

You just applied a bad OC and the OC software is trying to apply it on boot causing crashes. Go into SAFE mode if needed to kill the process before going back in as normal.

Uncheck the auto tuning in the geforce experience overlay and if that doesn't do it download precision and hit default. Worked for me.
