If your card have 4Gb memory, you should use only 4Gb vbios. Try flash another vbios for 4Gb cards from first page of this thread. Or from this link: Video Bios Collection | techPowerUp

Thanks for the link!

I will try that and see if it is still throttle at 77C.

I'm right when I think it is only using the upper side memory chips when I use the 2GB vbios? Because I think the memory chips on the back side don't get cooling in Dell M6600? Or don't they need cooling at all?

Your new card from MSI, Clevo or Dell? 4Gb or 2Gb? On stock vbios you also seen trottling? Post here screenshot of GPU-Z.

Well that's the question. I don't know for sure, but the original bios was a MSI and the card have memory chips also on the backside.

I had problems to install the driver on Win 7, thats why I flashed the Dell vbios (I thought it is a Dell card). So I don't know if it is also throtteling on stock vbios.

Original vbios:

GPU-Z with Dell vbios:

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

I got a GTX 680m from ebay and I thought is was a Dell. I replaced my ATI FirePro 8900 in my Dell M6600 with this one and flashed the Dell vbios from svl7.

I installed the driver with a modded inf and anything works well.

After that, I wanted to check the difference betwen the orginal bios and the modded vbios from svl7 and saw that the original bios was a MSI....

I tested some benchmarks and the card is throtteling at 77C. Checked with HWInfo, HW_Monitor and GPU-Z. Is that normal?

Is it a problem when I use the Dell vbios (2GB card) on this MSI (4GB card)?

Thanks for help!
