GPU running in low power 3D
GPU running in low power 3D
I have a GPU that has suddenly goning into Low Power 3D while folding. Just started a couple of days ago. Temps on the card are fine...57-60 C. Any ideas. When I reboot the computer it runs as it should for a while...I do not know how long it works for, but a least a couple of hours. I have changed nothing in the past month on that computer and It is running windows 7.
Re: GPU running in low power 3D
by low-power 3D do you mean fully throttled down to idle power state?(my GTS 250 goes from 738/2400/1800 to 300/100/600)

Re: GPU running in low power 3D
you say you changed nothing... does that include drivers? possible that new drivers have changed the power profile of the card. What kind of card is it?

Re: GPU running in low power 3D
I have a XFX 260 Black Edition. running stock settings and I have changed nothing. The cards seems to be behaving it's self today...but we will see. And by low power 3D..I mean just that..799 mhz shaders. they should be @1404 mhz. No screen saver...nadda. I will post again if it seems to be cured or if it does it again.
Re: GPU running in low power 3D
I had the same issue with my xfx gtx 260's here is the fix that I found.
1. IN RIVATUNER CLICK ON THE POWER USER TAB
2. CLICK ON + RIVATUNER \ NVIDIA \ OVERCLOCKING
3. CHECK EnablePerfLevelForcing , VALUE = 1
4. MAIN TAB , DRIVER SETTINGS , OVERCLOCKING
5. IN DROP DOWN BOX = FORCE CONSTANT PERFORMANCE LEVEL!
6. APPLY AND IT WILL ASK YOU TO REBOOT , DO SO!
Hopefully this will help you out seemed to fix the issue for me.
