GPU problems... too hot, and etc... (GTX 460M)

Well, I'm using GPU-Z right now, and I'm only using internet explorer, and like the last 2 days, here the results:
Core Clock: 675.0Mhz
Memory Clock: 625.0Mhz
Shader Clock 1350.0Mhz
Temperature: 63C~64C (all the time)

what to do? all the time its like that!

(Windows Task Manager:

svchost.exe 186K memory
explorer 50k memory)

G53SW-A1
I have it about 1 week
I had 285.27, but I changed to 280.26 like 10min ago. (But the same thing...)

thanks for help!

 

IE9 uses GPU acceleration meaning that it will use the GPU unless specified otherwise. This is what explains the higher temps when using IE, other browsers like Firefox also make use of hardware acceleration, you have nothing to worry about.

What are the temps and clocks when doing absolutely nothing?

 

I'd still be surprised hardware acceleration would cause his GPU to run that hot. Asus didn't fubar the power controls like they did with the HD5870M. So it should still run with lower clocks on hardware acceleration and they made some changes to the heatsink and thermals.

The best way to verify is to ask a reseller like Ken or XoticPC, should be able to tell you. Whole lot quicker too rather than posting it here.

 

The card is stuck at p12 state, which is full 3d clock.
Something installed in your system is triggering the gpu state to stay at those clocks if you're getting such temps and clocks while idling on desktop while doing nothing.

This can be any program that run in background such downloaders (utorrent/jdownloader) or anything else like antiviruses, ITunes, so on.

Basically any program that uses the gpu (direct3d instead of directdraw) for "drawing" the graphic.

You can observe if I'm right by running msconfig and enabling diagnostic boot.

 

Yeah, i see quite a few programs bringing GPUs to full 3d clocks. Opera does that every time i open a new tab. Oh and before someone mentions the 5870 problems on the G73, that happens on all my comps, GTX570, 9650m GT and MR 5870. I could test IE9 when i get back home on the desktop to see at what clocks the GTX570 stays when browsing the web.

 

That would be very odd. The 5870M has UVD mode which is for hardware acceleration. Should be clocked lower than full 3D. On mine I have modified the vBios a bit so it runs at 300/500 for UVD.

I would be amazed that this is not the case for Nvidia as well. No need to run at full 3D clock speed for hardware acceleration.

 

Well, I did a recovery, here the compare:
Before:
With IE9:

Core Clock: 675.0Mhz
Memory Clock: 625.0Mhz
Shader Clock 1350.0Mhz
Temperature: 65C~73C

Doing nothing
Core Clock: 2XX~675.0Mhz
Memory Clock: 2XX~625.0Mhz
Shader Clock 3XX~1350.0Mhz
Temperature: 63C~64C

After Recovery:
With IE9:

Core Clock: 50.6 to -> 675.0Mhz every 1min change.
Memory Clock: 67.5 to -> 625.0Mhz every 1min change.
Shader Clock 101.0 to -> 1350.0Mhz every 1min change.
Temperature: 47C~55C

Doing nothing
Core Clock: 50.6
Memory Clock: 67.5
Shader Clock 101.0
Temperature: 46C~47C

Maybe I had a virus...

Is that ok now? the temp will be better if I install 280.26 or 285.26

Is that normal? (with ie9)

 

Probably my theory is correct, something that was installed gave you those high clocks on desktop.
Also bittorrent uses direct3d for drawing, and IE9 uses gpu accelleration as well, so yes having those clocks is normal.
Im using Chrome as a web browser and it switches to full clocks only when a flash animation is played.
Right now as an example my gpu sits at 51mhz.

Also a kind word of advice: your screenshot shows clearly that youre downloading illegal material, warez, skidrow and reloaded releases.

Now you could have the keys but not the games, its your call, but dont ever post those screens. Its not a good thing, thats a good proof if anyone wants to bother you.

 

Well thanks for your help! well, for softwares + xbox I pay, but games on pc.. nope. maybe I should buy games anyway with steam as I did like 6 months ago... (no cracks with viruses...)

but thank you anyway.

 

We have the same card/experience. I think it is related to the latest WHQL driver which is the (280.26). Try to get the latest Nvidia drivers which is only released last September 26, it works out on me, hope to you as well.

 

Maybe you should support the developers of material you are currently stealing.

 

+1, no wonder they're trying to kill PC gaming.

 

That's the answer. I had this issue before when the 280 driver came out about 2 months ago. I noticed that when browsing using IE 9, my browsing temp was 50*C. I got concerned right away.

Chastity said something like " turn off browser acceleration". Now my browsing temps (2 hrs. interweb browsing with IE9) is back to a normal 37*C - 41*C, with highest spike of 46*C. My average browsing temp is 38-41*C.

If you use 275 driver, you won't have this issue when browsing using IE9. If you look at NVidia Inspector while browsing, once you turn the scroll wheel, your core clock, memory clock spikes up to max creating the high GPU temp. This doesn't happen with 275.

I'm currently using 285.27 driver, and even if my GPU is OC to 827 / 1728 mem. my browsing temp (GPU) is still from 38-41*C even after hrs. and hrs. of browsing. My average idle temp. is 36-41*C.
