Graphics Cards

WHen playing BR i have to use lower textures because the VRAM usage gets high even with low-mid settings.

The clockrate goes does not go above 1300 or so and drops relly low sometimes ingame.

Does the low clockrate not cost me some fps? 
I tried to set it to a higher minimum clock in the software center by turning the frequency up but it would have no effect even after a  system restart.

I have afterburner installed and i tried to change it via afterburner curve like i did with nvidia cards which also has no effect.

UPDATE: After uninstalling Afterburner it wiorked, the good thing is it only activates higher clock when game is started so energy saving is still possible.

I mean i guess i could use the left over power so to say to run vlc player on the second screen but would like to see how the game runs with full boost clock

UPdating here as well, everything works perfectly now, the higher minimum  clockrate i set in the Adrenalin Software seems to only apply when an intensive application is started,ths fixes the problem, that i had with other GPUs where i needed to restart my PC to apply  other GPU Clockrates to save some electricity , really helpful money and time saving  feature!!

I uninstalled MSI AFterburner as well since  i wont need it so i dont know if this had an effect also.
