P170EM 7970M stuck on 300/150

Hi,

My friend's P170EM is stuck on 300/150 this makes him have horrible lag. he has like 40k points in 3dmark11 (icestorm) and CSGO only 30-40fps. Is there already a solution for this problem?


Drivers: Leshcat’s Catalyst 13.4 WHQL UnifL v2 for AMD+Intel Powered Laptops
gpu= 7970M
cpu= ?3610QM? (or something like it)
OS= windows 7

 

Turn on PowerPlay in CCC.

 

It is already on. plugged in is on maximize performance just as any game and 3dmark11. Still stuck on Igpu or low setting GPU.


What should I do?

 

im on 90,000+ in icestorm with my 680 so you defo have a problem. maybe try a reinstall of the graphics drivers.
ive never used ati so have no idea how the control center works but theres got to be a way of forcing the dediated card to run the program.

 

yep, reinstalling drivers would be the way to go. ive had a similar issue once myself where the gpu just got stuck on idle clocks if that doesnt work, try uninstalling amd driver - reboot - uninstall intel driver - reboot - install intel driver - reboot - install amd driver

Will try to reinstall drivers in that case

 

I've reinstalled the drivers after uninstalling (which wasnt ez using logmein to have remote access to the pc ) and it works now, clocks are no longer stuck. getting 150fps+ in csgo.

thanks!

 

Good to hear! Have you tried TeamViewer as well? If you set it to launch with Windows, it makes things simpler with unattended access on the other user's end.

 

No I haven't. I will look into it. Can you restart the pc without interference? In logmein a password is required on the windows account to make it work. This means he has to be there to type the user account password before startup. If you leave it blank you need to set-up an access code, but that messes with his accounts. I dont want to do that.

 

That would be a stoplight for TeamViewer as well. It has a feature for remote reboot, but it will halt on reconnecting until the user logs back into Windows.
