Guest Richard Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hello, I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 w/ Geforce 6800, currently running Dell's stock drivers. I had upgraded to the 91-series Xtreme-G drivers recently, but due to problems with PowerMizer, downgraded to this one, which is newer than the one I used to have. The problem is that the Powermizer setting for AC power keeps getting set to maximum power savings, and battery power to maximum performance, even when I change it; it gets reset to the (non-default) settings every time I close the display properties dialog. Performance in games have dropped considerably, although I haven't been able to run any benchmarks. Does anyone know how to stop this from happening? I have attached the NERD logfile. Thanks in advance. LaptopVideo2Go_LogFile.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Richard Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Powermizer settings pane attached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Powermizer settings pane attached At least it's not an universal XTreme-G 9.x /6800 problem, as my Amilo/go6800/XTreme-G 91.37(tweakerized) has no problems to keep the settings where I put them.

The_Lead_Factor Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Uninstall your current drivers, restart, run a driver cleaning program, restart, then install the drivers again and restart again :) Edited August 18, 2006 by The_Lead_Factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Richard Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Uninstall your current drivers, restart, run a driver cleaning program, restart, then install the drivers again and restart again :) I did this, but the problem persists... RivaTuner says that clock speeds are 125MHz even when I run an OpenGL/Direct3D program. When I turn off Powermizer completely in the new nVidia control panel, the clock speed goes up to 290MHz (but then it remains there while on battery, which I don't want). Also, it seems that frame rates are limited to 30fps, with VSync off, even with very simple scenes. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lead_Factor Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 What driver are you using? Rivatuner has problems with a few of them...Mostly just resetting the clock settings but yours seems to be resetting the powermizer settings too.
