Lowest clocks that can be applied to the 9600m gt

hey guys, can you tell me what is the lowest clock i can set my card to in riva tuner?ie, core clock, shader clock and memory clock? i want to set it lower than the standard 2d settings...

 

i'm getting another problem...riva tuner defaults to normal clocks after i reboot my system..how do i solve this problem?

 

i rembember seeing a riva tuner guide here but searching for "riva tuner guide", "riva tuner tutorial" didnt guide me any result...so i googled for a guide in overclocking and came up with this: very concise explanation on how to overclock but they don't say how to monitor the temps...

 

the latest nvidia drivers should have a powermizer feature where it downclocks the gpu down to 100mhz. Rather than using riva tuner, i would use this:

It writes to registry values to tell the drivers to always enable 2d graphics mode which downclocks the gpu. You can also set it to performance 3d mode which runs it at its fastest.





I've used it and it does work. I to have a MBP but i didn't notice a whole lot of drop in temperature with it on.

 

yeah, the powermizer drops the core clock frequency to 179mhz...but as soon as i open a window in aero, it goes back to standard 3d and sometimes to high perf...that's why i used riva tuner to force the clocks to 100mhz...i'm hovering in the 60c 's...one thing i notice though is that the clocks are being reset to standard...dunno why..

 

That's probably because it needs to run it at higher clocks for Aero...

 

NVDIA system tools 6.05 is ur best bet. Remember to be on AC power when u set clocks otherwise u won't be able to set clocks.

 

First - Get the new GPU-Z version here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1665/TechPowerUp_GPU-Z_v0.3.6.html
And nVidia system tools v6.05 here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/nvidia_system_tools_6.05.html

Now, if you want your clocks to apply on startup, you must edit the default profile.

Here is how to overclock, I'm quite sure you can use the same method to downclock also...

Agreed.
I think Disabling PowerMizer is needed to complete this.
PowerMizer will make the GPU Clocks to stay at a certain level as you assigned during startup.

 

Man, what about the read rest of the therad ?!
