Turbo boost working in Ubuntu but not in Windows

Yes. It downclocks to a lower multiplier, but under load it stays at 33. Even when not OC-ed it turbo should take it to 37, and in my case to 41 with my settings. I am, but also CPU-Z, AIDA64 and now also Microsoft's pwrtest: pwrtest.exe /ppm Elapsed Idle C1 C2 C3 P-...

Turbo boost working in Ubuntu but not in Windows

Thanks I will look into it! In the meantime these are the processes running, see anything suspicious that I missed?

Turbo boost working in Ubuntu but not in Windows

I have reset it, no difference. Then OC again, no difference. I have not downgraded the BIOS yet, since that is quite complicated. But like I said I am pretty sure the BIOS cannot be cause of the problem, since if I boot up in Ubuntu on the same machine I am getting the expected frequencies...

Turbo boost working in Ubuntu but not in Windows

Long time no see AnandTech... On my i5-2500 Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3 rig I got this strange problem with turbo boost. I run a dual boot, and in Ubuntu I see the cores reaching 4.2 GHz (as they should with a multiplier of 41). However, when I boot into Windows 7 64-bit the cores are stuck at x33...

Miners might target Nvidia Maxwell next

I don't really know what the fuss is about. Looking at my notes from back when I did LTC mining, I pulled 257 W from the wall, and my idle was about 85 W. Assuming all that difference was the graphics card (hint: it wasn't), and assuming a 85% PSU efficiency the GPU only power draw would be...

The AMD Mantle Thread

Well, it is an early beta. Did you really expect everything to work on all cards from day 1? I am waiting for the dust to settle before deciding what I think of this. The way I see it, we can get improved performance for free, so I am grateful for even a little boost.

Cryptocoin Mining?

I was looking to buy more 7950's but where I live they are all out of stock. I tried my luck on ebay but the prices people ask is about the same as I paid for my card *new* last year. It might be better to sell the card for more than I paid for it, and get a new 280X or a 770 for that price in a...

Belial's Comprehensive Guide to 7950s!

You missed my card: Sapphire Vapor-X ... Core Voltage: Yes Memory Voltage: Yes Memory: Hynix PCB: Custom 7950 (8+8) I think the cooler is the same as the other Vapor-X variants. Not voltage locked. No throttling with +20%.

For those currently/recently in the market for a high end gpu

Yes, I was hoping that this generation would be fast enough to give the performance I want at the resolution I want, but no, not yet... I would be in the market if the cards were better. I think I said as much already.

You need a "none of the above" option. Not enough performance gain, combined with not enough demanding applications means that I skip this generation, at least for now.

Get to know Viral Marketers through Hardware History.

I remember that the GeForce 2 MX was really bad, but I see that many of you have the same card. Was it really that bad or is it my memory? (I think I got it for an old screen and thus ran it at low resolution first, then upgraded to a larger screen. That might be the cause of its poor performance.)

Cryptocoin Mining?

What is the reason for the latest increase of BTC/USD ratio? It has been on a steady rise for the past week. Meanwhile, the LTC/USD has a long term negative trend. I was looking at getting back in the game now that it is getting cold outside and it is a fun way to heat my house, but BTC is...

TrueAudio question.

I never said it would happen auto-magically. If a game supports TrueAudio, that is a selling argument that works well on me (or would if I actually had the hardware for it :D ) . Hopefully publishers see it that way too.
