    Any reason you cant just use Afterburner to set a profile to load at boot of Windows?

    Unless you are trying to sell? Seems odd, repaste recently or no?

    Hello . Yes, I changed the thermal conductive paste and I changed all the thermo pads. and i still have stutters in the game if it doesn't change the voltage of the gpu. I don't want to sell it, I just want it to run normally. without any programs

    Then you will need a programmer so you can flash it, Nvidia doesn't allow unsigned vbios modifications. Even if someone gave you a vbios you still need a programmer to flash it.

    Msi afterburner is easiest solution.

    stutters because your pch chip heats up over 90 celsius! is not the gpu fault. i had the same problem when i had my r4 with same specs! disable turbo boost and raise the back of laptop while gaming. also use a cooling pad if you can!

    my pch chip heats up to a maximum of 75c. So that's not the cause. but when the gpu hot spot hits 89c it starts to stutter. I don't know where this hot spot is on the gpu. because in msi afterburner gpu temperature 76c a hot spot 89c

    did you try to repaste? check out your vents! they might be blocked. hold the fan with one fan so it doesnt spin and blow air back into the vent from outside.

    The only 2 VBIOS that were ever officially released for that GPU were the 180w and 200w OC VBIOS. If your stuttering even on the 180w VBIOS then your likley wither thermal throttling on the GPU, or you have the temp issue due to poor thermal pads. This was seen more so on the 200w VBIOS.

    Yes. I changed the thermal conductive paste. I changed the thermopads. I still have this problem. I don't know what the reason is. but the processor is not overheating gpu too. and yet when the voltage is unblocked, it is at 74c gpu.the game starts stutter .
    I don't know, maybe the motherboard has been damaged. only that it started one day when I was playing and it is like that every time.
    Something seems to be overheating to me. but I do not know what . I cleaned the fans and heat sink. and it doesn't change anything
