Confused, speeds on 9800m GS arent what they say they are..

Edit: Problem solved noob mistake lol, just restarted computer and its acting properly now.


Now am i going insane here? is there a problem with GPU-Z and laptop GPU's? GPU-Z is reporting that my Maxium clock is 650/900/1500(overclocked by me) however when i look at teh Sensors, it says that the maximum clock is only 400/300/800 is that really true? i mean I dont have a single problem with any game what so-ever performance wise, but im still left wondering if I'm losing extra performance.

(note it says 9800m GT which is incorrect)

Driver is 195.xx beta for Mobile GFX

 

Wait what? Look at GPU-Z info. Your new clocks are there.

The lowered clocks are due to powermizer downclocking your card when the power isn't needed.

 

But it does it even when i run 3D Apps like Furmark is there a way i can test it?

Edit: I just ran WiC benchmark whilst GPU-Z was in the background, and zero change in speeds. Still reads the max @ those clocks.

 

Try Furmark.

and are you getting poor frames in games?

 

Furmark same thing, i just ran the Company of Heroes benchmark and get the same report.

Whats funny is i DIDNT even know this until today, when i decided to try and clock my GPU some more and opened up GPU-Z and saw that it wasnt even reaching stock clocks!

As for games thats kinda the funny parts, there is no real way i can tell if im actually losing Frames. both the WiC and CoH benchmarks come within 30 FPS and like is stated i've been playing A lot of games and performance has been good.

The only way i can really tell you is if someone ran furkmark/Company of heroes who also owns an ASUS G50VT-X5

Edit: I posted my Furmark scores, Contest mode @ 1024x768

Edit 2: I restarted my computer and its back to normal, though i dont understand why it did that in the first place... overclocked it too high?

 

Did you get an error before the problem started? I've overclocked too high and crashed the GPU driver, which caused my GPU to be stuck in non-game 3D settings.

 

Actually now that i think about it, i got an NV display error when i was playing WiC with my buddies, but that was because i left CoH running in the back ground :\

 

There you have it.
