M860tu downclocking issue

OK. Its what the title says. I experience a downclocking issue with my m860tu when i use any of the new 18*.** drivers from laptop2go. The downclocking appears in the memory's clocks , which drops from 800 to 400 after a while in most of the games (such us cod4, gtr2, rise of argonauts etc). Some of you will say to use the powermiser switch , but it's really annoying to have to restart every time , in order to play. The only driver that works is the 179.28 from the nvidia's site ,but i would like to use the 185.20 which seams to have more performance...

Anybody that experienced the same problem and come up with a solution?

p.s. forgive my terrible English

 

1) What are the temperatures of the laptop when it downclocks?
2) The difference between 179.28 and Nvidia's later driver versions should not be substantial enough to worry about this. Unless there is something specific that 18*.** give you which 179.28 does not, I suggest just sticking with the official drivers.

 

The temperature never exceed 70C. So its not that for sure. And to be more specific (because i run the rivatuner all the time) , the downclocking appears when there is a period of idling inside the game , for a example in cod4 in multi , when a new map is loading , the clocks drop from 600 down to 400 cpu , and from 800 down to 300 memory (which is normal) but when the action starts again, the cpu clock rises again to 800 , but the memory remains to 300!!!

As for the difference in performance , i found the 185.20 from laptop2go to provide much more decent framerates, that's why i have this problem.

 

I am experiencing downlclocking too, but with Dox` 181.20 drivers. I happends when i alt-tab during gameplay and back. Not everytime though. But it fixes itself by alt-tabbing again.

 

Then why don't you just stick to the official drivers if they work fine. You are probly only going to lose 2 or 3 fps and that might only be in certain games. The official drivers are fine and easily overclockable with ntune. If you haven't OC'd yet I suggest using Nvidia drivers and OC'ing to make up those few fps, or gain even more.

 

Ok. I'd expected that you would propose me that kind of solution. But it is not a solution. The problem is that " i want to use this driver (because that's the way i like it)" . Can you find a solution that says "do that and everything will be fine with the driver that you like or not " ? (because the difference it's way far more than 2-3 fps-in a specific game that i play much the difference it's chaotic). Solution that says "ok, use another driver i think that it's not accepted. I'm very sorry for my hostile reply but i think that you will understand that i'm right. So , is there a way to use the 185.20 without downclocking and without powermiser or i have to just go and f@ck myself?
