Hi, guys, I need some help with an issue that appeared recently on my laptop.
I have an Asus G72GX with a GTX260M, and about 6 months ago I flashed its vbios to input the stock clocks permanently instead of the typical Asus downclock and never presented any kind of trouble.
Today after performing a clean Windows 7 Ultimate x64 install I noticed in GPU-Z that my GPU clocks went to Asus stock, and my Default GPU clocks stayed as I left them, as shown in the picture.

I don't know what happened that got my GPU downclocked again unintentionally, and have been trouble to get to my former clocks.
I'd really appreciate some help from you guys, thanks in advance!

common. just reboot

Run GPU-Z in background, run a game, quickly minimize and check the clocks. Still report the same clocks? GPU-Z was doing that to me too when I OC'ed using Nvidia Inspector.

It looks like the GPU is dowclocking to a non "gaming" speed, (3D mode) because the card isn't running in full gaming mode, ex: it's not rendering games or anything that requires full horespower.
The fact that it says the "Stock Clocks" are 550/950/1375, it looks like what you entered stuck. Like Xonar said, run a game with GPU-Z open and see what it says. It looks like it is running at the 3rd clock profile in the vbios. I believe there are a total of 4. The 1st being the lowest clock, the 4th being the highest. It may be normal behaviour for the drivers you installed too. -
I figured what the problem was.
It was really stupid; when I installed my drivers from the Asus DVD I forgot to uncheck the Turbogear VGA enhanced driver, as soon as I uninstalled it, everything went to normal.
+ rep to all of you guys, thanks for your time!
GTX 260M, need a little help
