Confused....

[Tioz]

Just a problem I have (or perhaps not)
When oveclocking the card with version 0.26 I have to have 3d biew open and work on 3d performance sliders, correct? If not clocks won't be applied until I open a 3d application, correct?
Let's say I want to change my 2 settings, I'll do that with the 3d view closed, but memory clock won't apply, when I hit set clock it just goes back to the default value but when I move the 3d performace slider the memory clock changes throughout all of the values (3d, 3d and 3d perf)
Is that right? I have a Gainward 7800gtx golden sample with these stock values: 275/1300 | 415/1300 | 470/1300
And also, why when I open the 3d view the clock doesn't change? The core should go from 275 to 470 but it doesn't.
As you can see I'm quite confused:banghead:

You really shouldn't change your 2d clocks at all...... I mean there is no point ocing your gfx card when browsing internet explorer now is there... :p

I believe if you save your oc'd clocks in a profile and then in the preferences pages set it so that when 3d is detected it loads that oc'd profile, it should work...

[Tioz]

Mmm ok
And on startup, do I have to make it load a profile?
And also, what would be a scenario of 3d low power?

I wouldn't load a profile on startup, only because I really can't see a reason to have your card oc'd in windows .... It should be able to detect a 3d app and load a profile then. A good way to test this is by a sound... You can tell it to play a .wav file when it loads a certain profile... tell it to play a sound and see if that sounds goes off when you load up a game......


I am not all that familiar with low power 3d clocks as that is a nvidia specific setting, I have always had ati cards... maybe some one else here can help you out on that one.. :D

Hopre someone else pops buy then:toast:

Maybe, and I am only speculating here.... I know that some nvidia cards can run with the power source unplugged... They just tone themselves down. Maybe low power clocks are to do with that somehow... :confused:..

Like I said though only speculating..

Actually mine does run without the extra power source but it told me that I couldn't use it at it's full power

I don't see why you should OC your card's 2D mode. Maybe it could step up the frame-rate when playing HD Video. But otherwise it's pointless. Maybe you could under-clock it? At least it could draw lesser-than-usual amount of power when spending time at Tech Power Up! :laugh:

It was just a curiosoty:o

I've resolved my problem by overclokking with rivatuner and just testing for artifacts with atitool:toast:
But the memory augments anyway (if i augment 3d perf 2d augments too)
