    Hi, I have set up an eGPU configuration and everything is working fine. I'm on an external display, using a VAIO Z1 and a GTX570 Sonic Edition from Palit. The issue I'm having here is when I run Furmark stress test, I'm getting fluctuations of FPS. However, when I overclock the card beyond its capabilities and it resets, the subsequent benchmark test i run will have a very stable FPS (+ - 2), and thats it. Its only the FIRST test i run after the reset from failure that gives the stable FPS subsequently it will fluctuate very badly. I'm wondering if it is a problem and if theres anyway to get it to run with stable FPS.

    PS* When running at stable FPS temperatures recorded were higher than with inconsistent FPS even though settings were exaclty the same. Thanks
