EVGA GTX 1080ti SC2 GPU+Memory Clock Speeds Stuck

[Muffle-Wuff]

I dunno what happened but suddenly my GPU decided to lock it's speeds, even on idle, on 1556mhz GPU Clock and 5508mhz Memory Clock, and refuses to budge even if I try to overclock it. On the XOC it shows it on this even on idle. It use to fluctuate and keep the cores low when on idle. Now when I game, it stays at this clock speed and causes my games to lag out and/or crash. I deleted XOC cleanly and reinstalled it, nothing, restarted the PC, nothing, shut it down and booted back up, nothing. What do I have to do here?! I just got this card and suddenly I'm now having a clock issue!

(EDIT):
I actually figured out what was the issue. On Nvidia Control panel it was on "Prefer Maximum Performance" on the power settings in Global.

Word was having that setting on with dual monitors like mine tends to glitch the graphics card and recommended to put power settings in Nvidia Control Panel to Adaptive, force performance on Nvidia Inspector to drop on idle and use multi-display power settings, restart, deactivate Nvidia Inspector and multi-display power settings option, put power settings in Nvidia Control panel to Optimal, restart again, and boom. Back to normal. o3o

I have a couple of these cards and I have no issue but I use MSI afterburner to overclock.

I would reinstall the drivers and uninstall XOC and try using afterburner and see if the problem goes away.

I dont think msi afterburner works with evga cards. Last time i tried it (almost a year ago?), it could not control both fans. Or was that fixed?
