schelm00 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi, i have noticed that, if i plug in an external monitor on my Zepto 6224W with 8600M-GT, the card does not reduce the clock rates of memory, gpu, etc. it always runs at full speed (475/950/400) - is this a normal behaviour? If i switch back to the internal LCD-Display the clock rates reduce to standard 2D settings with 196/338/100. This is very annoying, since the fan is always spinning because the card gets too hot :-/ I am using GeForce 177.41 drivers schelm00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I always run external and have adjusted my settings for single screen only. My Quadro 1600M(=8700M GT) clocks down nicely but if I force it to full speed for example with disabling PowerMizer, I always can easily drop the clocks into about half speed with Nvidia Control Panel+NTune.

schelm00 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Well, i don`t have powermizer enabled, because i am runing vista x64 and 177.41 drivers. But also in winXP it doesnt work - powermizer enabled ... is this a notebook issue or a driver issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schelm00 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) mhhh... i found a temporary way to "solve" this issue: Download and install nTune and turn down both memory and clock rates in the Nvidia Control Panel - Works for me, better than rivatuner - but it is annoying too ^^ Edited July 22, 2008 by schelm00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
