Has anybody explored ways to turn off the GPU Boost in the 600 series cards, or the basic EVGA 670 in particular? As convinced as nVidia seems to be of the effectiveness of their algorithm, I'm watching my framerates drop into the 20s (in Minecraft) because the card doesn't think it needs to be running at its rated clock speed.

Fanelien posted:As I understand it's like turbo boost, but I've not heard of a way to turn it off. Maybe use EVGA Precision to set a fixed voltage so it can't downvolt and lower the clockspeed? Tried it... the card ignores my voltage setting when it decides to switch to another performance step. Factory Factory posted:There isn't a way to turn it off, currently. Thanks, good to know. I'm going to talk to EVGA support about it anyway, in hopes that they connect me with someone in engineering that knows how. If that doesn't work, I'll probably try the same thing with nvidia.

Oh, I partially answered my own question, so I'll post it here for public edification. If you use NVIDIA Inspector (http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5077-nvidia-inspector.html) to open the driver settings (the wrench and screwdriver next to the driver version), in the Common section, there's a "Power management mode" setting. Pick "Prefer maximum performance", and it will at least stop dropping below the default clock speed (915mhz on the non-superclocked 670). It's still not really respecting my overclock settings, but seems happy to go well above 1100mhz when the algorithm decides it's time to boost the speed. (edit: it's in the nvidia control panel too... i guess that bit got erased when i updated the driver. yeah, that vvv) straw man fucked around with this message at 09:54 on May 12, 2012 |
