P-6860fx shuts down while on battery

nice!
and if you ever had a problem with the card down clocking...i finally found the fix for it... wooohooo!

 

So Johnksss, what is the fix? And what driver version did you end up using?

 

it seems to be two types of fixes for this... but they are in the same place...trying to make the right inf file that will do both automatically, but here is the start of it.

ok, here is your fix for that stupid clock speed dropping

1: open regedit
2: go down to key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\ this is mine and yours is a different number - {DEB039CC-B704-4F53-B43E-9DD4432FA2E9}

go to the first 0001 or 0000 file folder that shows all your vga settings. it will be a long list.

3: scroll all the way down to the bottom where it says: RMPowerSupplyCapacity=3
meaning=performance level 3 when no ac adapter is detected.

change the 3 to 0
meaning: no performance level change detected due to no ac adapter connected.

4: reboot computer. you should be able to reboot on battery and start a game and the clocks should stay in the high 3d range. stop the game and it should drop back down (5 to 20 seconds after that)

this should work with all the newer drivers which are down clocking.

hope this helps if you haven't already done it.


edit: your card will down clock like it should, but once you draw on the gpu. the card will clock itself back to your max clocks and stay there till your done. once the game or gpu app is shut down, the clocks will drop to help cool the gpu down quicker.


this is for driver version 175.63

tring to do them for the higher version using the supplied inf file they give, but they seem to be a real pain....lol

 

I used the inf file out of the zipped file inside the main file. <--- What did I just say, lol, anyways, I will check it out tonight, thank you.

 

i know what you said...lol
