bb10 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) Hi, I have a problem with my 9600M GT. Somehow, it won't go higher than 'low power 3D' mode. I discovered this problem as I was using GPU-Z to log my temps while gaming and i've also tried rivatuner and it gives me the same results. It's in 2D mode 169/100/100 MHz (core/mem/shader), until I start something GPU intensive. Then it kicks in 3D low power mode 275/300/550 MHz (core/mem/shader). My temps stay below 60 degrees Celsius, so that's not the problem. I've tried to disable powermizer when connected to A/C with Powermizer Switch (Very nice app, Claw :) ), but it doesn't help. It's not using 2D mode now, but it still won't go higher than low power 3D mode. I also tried updating the drivers from 178.24 to 180.43, but that didn't help either. Anyone got any suggestions/solutions? Edit: Just tried vista home basic 32bit. Same problem exists there, forcing performance 3D mode in rivatuner doesn't do anything. Edit2: So I thought I'd do some digging in the bios. I found this: Maybe the only solution is to just change everything except 2D mode to full speed?

matmat07 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Maybe you could try to force 3d performance with rivatuner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claw Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Fixed my problem. It was a matter of non compatible vid drivers and riva tuner version. SO all is good again here.

Guest mattias Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 The problem is that this issue was present before I installed rivatuner. I only installed rivatuner to see if I can fix it. Hello, i have the same problem with my aspire 7730 I fixed it with flashing the motherboard bios back to the oldest version. But since a few days i have the same problem again. I mailed to acer but they gave my stupid "solutions". greets, mattias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delox Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 Same thing here on dell inpiron 1520 8600GT. I overclock using Ati Tool. It overclock ok then after a couple minutes gaming, sometimes 10 min sometimes it does not do it at all, i get some bad lag for 1 or 2 second then the game is just slow. I close it and in windows when running ati tool it says i am running 275 mhz cpu 200 mhz ram when overclocked it runs 630 cpu 500 ram and stucks there until i reboot. I have tried different drivers they all do the same. I dont know if it happens when not overclocked, never noticed. I ll keep looking for solution.
