Interesting new 675m change

Long story short, the NV drivers trashed my 675m and dell replaced it last week. I thought I'd leave it all at standard for a couple of weeks to get some base numbers, and testing with driver 314.22 , the last good working one I had used before.

First thing was I was not seeing the P1 power throttle (405mhz) in any games that used to cause this. Hmm. Then I was kicking back in HL2, which the card destroys at 120FPS consistent. Well, after about 5 mins P1 hit and the frame rate stayed good. I have adaptive power set so it looks like this feature is working as designed. Then I noticed the voltage. On my last card P1 dropped to 0.80V requiring a vbios fix to match the voltages. This one is set to the same voltage as P0 - 0.87v. So, no need for a vbios now, just use NvidiaInspector to bump P1 if needed

Even overclocking did not cause the power throttle. I'll post the .rom file if anyone is interested, be nice to know if I just got lucky or if the vbios is different - 70.24.43.00.0D (P1314-0005)

Thanks man, that is what I'm seeing but I am certain that the level 2 voltage (P1) has been increased as the first problem I hit back in the day with the 675 was that the voltage dropped to 0.80 @ P1, so it would artifact if I attempted to force it to match P0. And the strange fact that it has not power throttled at all
