GPU Folding Quirk
GPU Folding Quirk
I've run into a bit of a quirk when OC'ing my GTX 260 to squeeze a few more PPD out of it. Currently I use EVGA's Precision tool to handle monitoring and clock adjustments for the card. I have noticed that sometimes the card drops the clocks down to idle or high idle from what I have them set to. Any attempt to use the software to force the card back to where it was is futile and the card just sits at these reduced speeds even in the presence of 3d load (games or work units). The only fix thus far has been a reboot to return everything to status quo. Has anyone ever experienced an OC'd vid card dropping all of the clocks across the board to almost idle levels?

i call that GPU safe mode(its unstable, game crashes but the card allows you to go back to what you are doing to save stuff then reboot to normal), turn down your OC as its just unstable, im personally not a fan of overclocking the GPU in general, CPU is another story, but GPUs just dont seem to stay stable if overclocked at all

Re: GPU Folding Quirk
Driver issue, which drivers are you using??
Re: GPU Folding Quirk
GPU temperatures? Is it like this when the GPU is running at stock speeds?
I remember someone on another forum, they found a fix by going into the BIOS and changing some settings. I believe they changed the suspend state.

For F@H keep your Clock settings at stock and run the Shaders up! This will help F@H. Running your clock speeds up will not effect how fast you complete a WU.
I run the shaders up till it will not pass the Precision test and then back it off a little and have good luck with it!

Re: GPU Folding Quirk
There is a fix for that with rivatuner, Found it awhile ago. It is a low power 3d state. I will try and find the fix and post back for yacardnyl wrote:I've run into a bit of a quirk when OC'ing my GTX 260 to squeeze a few more PPD out of it.
