@Jaydip, that doesn't make much sense. As Toyota said voltage also auto clocks so there is no point in messing with it. Are you also running some type of fan control with that profile?
okay at 70 C its supposed to drop by 13mhz or so. well mine is dropping twice that at 70 C. it goes from 1253mhz to 1241mhz at 69 C then it goes to 1228mhz at 70 C. power target is not the problem as that is only about 110% and I have set to 145%.
EDIT: and this is at 98-99% gpu load so its not dropping because its not being needed.
Don't you run a 560? You're not even in the same league as the rest of us. We're in the ocean and you're in the dora the explorer kiddy pool.
whats pissing me off more is that until today I could keep the fan at 65% at 65C and it would never go over 70 C. now I have to put the fan at 75% to keep it from going over 70 C. and this is the exact same part of Metro 2033 I have tested dozens of times and the temps i my room are no hotter than usual.
That isn't a good sign. I haven't received my card yet and this is giving me flashes of regret for not waiting on the msi power edition to come out.
You wont even notice a difference.
I probably won't, but the msi power edition is an obviously better card so long as external exhaust isn't a requirement.
Doesn't matter. Voltage is locked so it'll overclock pretty much the same as every other 670/680
It supposedly might be unlocked on the power edition. And with dual fans, along with msi's twin frozr heatsink, it will be simultaneously quieter and cooler. A cooler running gtx670 will supposedly boost higher, so again, it's the all around better card.
ETA on release? MSI shows off a lot of great cards then doesn't release them.
ie 7870 Hawk.
It's supposedly imminent. The PR was last week, and the card is up on msi's product pages, but it's not yet available anywhere. Which is why I decided not to wait - I didn't know how long I'd be waiting for.
I would hardly call a GTX 670 a "raft". Sad that toyota points out a legitimate concern and those who probably don't even own a GTX 670 start to "pile on". Cobination of jealousy and arrogance. For me, I am amazed out how good the GTX 670 is performing for most of the posters. I love my GTX 680, just don't love that it cost a lot more.

It more humid today?
way to miss the point.All this chatter over 13 mhz.
People, it's 13 mhz FFS.
It's 1% of 1300 mhz.
It's 60 fps vs. 60.6 fps.
Wow.
toyota: Has Nvidia published a white paper detailing the whole boost concept? I ask because perhaps there is more discussion and testing data published in it to explain why this is happening. How are you measuring this drop in fps? Precision?okay at 70 C its supposed to drop by 13mhz or so. well mine is dropping twice that at 70 C. it goes from 1253mhz to 1241mhz at 69 C then it goes to 1228mhz at 70 C. power target is not the problem as that is only about 110% and I have set to 145%.

I am using precision. if you can keep it under 70 C then most problems can be avoided since it should never throttle if it needs full gpu power. IMO Nvidia should have made that first throttle occur at 75 or perhaps even 80 since hardly any card can stay below 70 without having to make the fan ramp up to fairly uncomfortable levels. and also seeing a game start off below full boost even though it needs it is pretty irritating. the fact that I can restart the exact part of a game and see it sometimes use full boost and other times not under the same exact conditions means there is too much inconsistency here.toyota: Has Nvidia published a white paper detailing the whole boost concept?

yes that is what is supposed to do.Hmm,just to add a bit more info to this my card drops to 1228 at 70c from a core of 1241.turning the fan right down im getting no further drops in core upto 80/85c,gonna see if i get any drops at 90/95.
Ithough it was supposed to drop every 5c or 10c?after 70?,hmm i dunno this gpu boost seems to be all over the place.yes that is what is supposed to do.
it should drop at 70 and then at 80 after that I am not sure exactly what happens.Ithough it was supposed to drop every 5c or 10c?after 70?,hmm i dunno this gpu boost seems to be all over the place.
