GTX 780 won't go above 570 mhz in games

[Medusa Cascade]

As the title says, help?

Could it be failing?

Have you checked if it's set to "Prefer maximum performance" in Nvidia 3D settings? Pic: https://gyazo.com/b42cb032541046e1528478632c9ea5a9

Also, are you running any sort of flash/html5 video/applications on another monitor or even minimized? Especially Flash is known for underclocking a GPU to 2D performance mode.

Also what games(and graphic settings), other computer specs, etc.?

[Medusa Cascade]

Tried that and I don't run any other applications when gaming.

Witcher 3 tried every graphics setting, same for Fallout 4, Deus Ex HR and MD.

Did you restart your PC after changing the Nvidia power setting?

Other than that, what are your temps on the GPU, plus how much power(voltage) is it sucking during the games? You can check these with the MSI Afterburner application(free download).

Yes I restarted.

Every game is between 76-80 even on low.
1162mV

The last bit of advice I personally have is to reinstall Nvidia drivers, then on MSI Afterburner reset your GPU settings to default.

If that doesn't work, open up your case, take off the GPU, re-seat it, make sure PCI-E Power connectors are properly attached(GTX 780 needs 2 power cables IIRC).

First thing I would try would be to get DDU and Uninstall all Graphics drivers then re-install the ones for your card. It may not help, but would be the first thing to try. In addition, what are the temps like?

[Medusa Cascade]

Reinstalled drivers using DDU and reset MSI. No change.

Time to re-seat.

No change I'm afraid

Tried again and it's back to as it should but still pushing 80 degrees on low settings with fans 100%.

Was fine yesterday

[Lathais]

Definitely sounds like it is failing then.

Well there goes the idea of waiting for the 1080ti....

My 780 is idling at 53 degrees, usually 43.

Also stuck at 966 mhz when idle now too. And before you ask, yes I've put power on adaptive and restarted

try pulling the cooler off and changing the thermal paste. this may seem odd but it can sometimes fix these issues.
