It sounds like your GPU is having a cooling issue, it should not be downclocking that much.

Have you you replaced the heatsink or the thermal paste?

Did you drop the GPU possibly separating the heatsink from the processor?

My GPU is IDLE at 55 and in game load max is 67 this card should be able to hit 90 so thats not the problem.

Ok, temps may not be the issue so. There is excessive downclocking for some reason.

Are your drivers up to date? Do you have a possibly misconfigured profile active via EVGA Precision or some other GPU monitoring/clocking app?

Thanks.

  I tried to look up at the AMD community page for driver issues. I saw that there was a issue with anti cheat and updating the driver would resolve it (but it didnt work for me).
  Now i get a error with 30005 anti cheat, and if i start apex legends now and i get in the menu my whole screen goes black and my pc freezes (so i have to hard reset my computer).
  I tried to delete the EasyAntiCheat.sys file in C:/Program files (x86)/EasyAntiCheat and restart apex legends with the repairservice but didnt work. I also did a sfc /scanow in CMD didnt work either it said the files are repaired but nothing changed. And it keeps telling me that my amdihk64.dll file is not signed so it keeps saying its an untrusted system file. So i am guessing apex is hard freezing my pc because of this file?
