    I think I may have found an awful bug in the nvidia powermizer drivers (on top of the dpc spikes when downclocking).

    Seems like the GPU "forgets" to upclock as needed when watching a full hd streaming flash video.

    Could you guys please try to reproduce this issue and let me know how it goes for you?

    Here's a link to a more detailed post:

    I had that issue, only with 196.86, which made it impossible to watch any Flash video in fullscreen.

    This actually happens to me on all of the 19x.xx series drivers. But only on the 2nd card. In order to cause the 2nd card to go full power, I have to disable and then re-enable SLi every time I restart or boot up my machine. It's... annoying. I'm really hoping that a WHQL release for mobile cards will put everything back to normal. It's been far too long...
