    Hi guys, I have recently flashed my 680m with svl7's MSI vbios. For some reason, the core voltage of my GPU remains stuck at 0.987v and would not dip down even when the computer is idle. This then prompted me to do a clean driver reinstall which temporarily fixed this issue until it happened again.

    Why would it drop below that voltage...that's the whole reason to do the flash to the card. If you don't like that than flash back to stock.
