Hi Guys,
I really hope you can help,
I've installed an 880m over my 7970m in my m17x R4. And as I wrote in the title it for some reason clocks down to 405MHz from more than 900 where it should be. It sometimes happens all the time which makes anything unplayable. Restarting occasionally solves it...
I don't think it is caused by the heat since it hardly reaches 70° and sometimes it doesn't even occur that much.
Also my seller gave me a new card after I reported this issue. So it is also not caused by the card.
I tried multiple drivers, so I guess it is not a driver issue.
And finally I changed the Nvidia setting from adaptive to prefer maximum performance.
http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/15/01/12/fyn.png The load is almost at 100% but the Memory and core clock are downclocking all the time.
Consequently the Benchmark results are very different depending on what the GPU decides...
So basically I have no idea why this happens
I really hope you guys can help,
Thanks in advance,
skeif

I underclocked it but it doesn't seem to prevent it from downclocking to 405MhZ, if it is likely to do so. Also I am using a 240 watt power supply which should be enough.
Anyway, thank you for your response.
