7800GTX trottling

[BrokenWall]

i have been trying to get higher and higher, i am pushing for 10K before i throw it on chilled water.

but stock in GT1 i will get 48fps and sometimes i will overclock it to 530/1500 and only get 46fps when my cpu is also overclocked to 2.8Ghz. i need to know why i got to constantly restart and reopen and mess around the drivers just to get it to do a couple normal runs. my 9310 run i had 54fps in the first few seconds of gt1, which is proof of it not trottling.

You can edit your bios and remove throttling setting, and also force in rivatuner performance mode.
But you will loose fps anyway when you clock the card beyond limit.
My best score did i get when removing those +40 and only using 1 setting for 2D and 3D.
When you remove +40 then all 3 clocks runs in sync.
Stock bios makes those 27mhz jumps for ROP and shader clock.
545/1461 (with removed +40 setting) is my sweet spot, can go higher on both but score goes down after that.
First secs in GT1 runs at 58fps and score gets to 9426 max so far.

that makes no since when you go faster it feels slower.

thanks nvidia!

Well when you go faster then hardware can run thats not nvidia to blame.

I get throttling...whenever card is below 36c...no matter which driver. run an app to warm the card up, bench...works great.

My card still has a coldbug...or warmbug...or whatever...:fact:

Mine don't.... -20c, 560/1470 no mod. Dynasty bios stock vgpu.

must be nice. I've got decent enough clocks, i guess, as some others are getting far less, but the colder my card is , the slower it gets. It's really frustrating.

Unless you fix throttling?? :rolleyes: i score 9.7k @ 2.8 x2

I could, of course. But i shouldn't have to. Disable the temp monitoring. :rolleyes: What a joke.

i get 9125, clocks in sig. bios flash for 600 points?

I'd rather take it the traditional route...no modding. Look what it has got me so far... :D


That will change when my DFI comes back tho.

Using dynsaty bios, no temp, no throttling. My card was @ 560(600 w/ geo) and mem at 1450, anything over i need more voltage... i'm still @ stock vgpu.... your running a single core vs my x2 core though :D
