Xen0N Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Hello,I have MSI GT70 gtx 680m, when i ran Furmark benchmark test i got 64 fps on normal, by pressing the turbo mode button the number decreases to 41 fps ! the tempreture is about 78 c after 10 mins.Any idea what the problem could be ?

svl7 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Don't use furmark, problem solved. Nvidia cards are known to throttle when running furmark, it's a driver setting. I'm not sure about the benchmark, but at least during the fur stress test - it stresses the voltage supply circuits of the gpu way beyond normal levels and is dangerous to run. As long as you don't have such throttling issues in a test like 3dMark11 then you're fine. I assume you use the stock vbios? My modified vbios will always be in turbo mode, and I expect the turbo button to have no effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply, and yes i'm using stock vbios. it looks like there's some limitations on my account so i couldn't download your modified vbios. Anyway, since furmark is not a very good choice can you please link me to a good and safe to use stress program? Edit: nvm, i found it in sticky threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonetrader Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi Xen0N, you can use the msi kombustor for a stress test. It's a nice tool to monitor the temperature! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CACV Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Xen0N i have the same problema with my GT 60, But when I put on Turbo Mode, with stock vbios and oc to 135 (oc limitation) and also the memory, I test and see that my GPU Clock go back and up 135 to 900 always, but the memory clock works fine, when i disable the turbo mode nothing happens, Only happend when turbo mode is activated with a little oc, Im use the MSI Afterburner, I recently post a thread with my entire problem, just 4 days ago my second gtx680m dies Thanks for help me out!

reedandbic Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 i think it is the power problem, maybe a 230w adapter is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
