Yea you did. What I tried was nividia’s debug mode
“Beginning with driver version 355.82, Nvidia has added a new feature called “Debug Mode”, which will downclock any factory overclocked graphics card to Nvidia reference clock speeds. This is a great feature to help determine problems with the card, or for games that are sensitive to overclocked video cards.”
Strangely it didn’t do anything for me. I don’t know why that didn’t work but underclocking slightly did
