G73jh - vbios - to turn UVD off

Hi All,

Do you think is it possible to turn UVD off by vbios editing?
In my opinion the option is completely useless. Moreover, sometimes happens that after DVD watching GPU core/memory clock does not want to come back to 700/1000 MHz and only restart helps

As long as the the video frame is open and you are using hardware acceleration, then the clocks will remain at 500/1000. Classic problem when one has a YouTube video on display, even if it's not playing, on a window in the background.

 

You can set the UVD clocks to be the same as load clocks (700/1000) with RBE and flash such a modified vBios, but i dont see why you cant just close all videos before gaming... Its a better solution than increasing temps by making it run at unnecessary high clocks when watching simple video.

 

the problem is that nothing is in the background. All applications ara closed : no Firefox with youtyube, no WMP with DVD - just nothing and the clocks not changing.

 

Then I guess it's either your app you are using to view the movie not shutting down the hardware hooks properly, or it's your driver installation.

 

Could you please check if you have the same issue? I use WMP to watch DVD. Please try to start WMP with DVD, close it and then run a 3D game. Try it few times. Check your clocks after that.

 

Works fine for me. What you can do, is open task manager and when you close out your video (using WMP), look at the processes running and if you see WMPlayer.exe still running then kill it and your clocks should return. I had a similar issue and found it related to a 3rd party device that was keeping wmplayer.exe active via windows sideshow utility.

 

I watch Youtube videos all the time and I do not seem to have that issue, when I close Youtube and play a game all clocks work and go to the speeds that are correct . I just tried this and it worked fine , I will keep an eye on this though and see if it always does.
