GTX 460 Not Folding At Full Power

Might be the same OC/Driver issue I ran into with my my 450's... try running realtemp at the same time as your GFX OC program to see if it forces the OC.

RealTemp doesn't work on AMD processors.

I'll try RivaTuner later on as a last resort. I don't like RivaTurner.

I added Folding@Home exe's into the NVIDIA control panel and restarted the comp. Let's see if this fix lasts...

Rolling back to 266.58 don't change anything either. The GPU ain't downclocking either and it says the GPU usage is at 99%, yet the temperatures are at 47C instead of 60C, and the TPF are 6 mintues compared to the normal 2 minutes.

Here's a screenshot.

Ok it's happening at 750Mhz core as well. I'm seriously stumped and got no clue on what to do. Should I try rolling back to even older drivers? Or maybe I have to reinstall the client...

Have you tried rivatuner yet? I understand that you don't like it but there is an option in there to force 3D clocks.

[geokilla]

Doesn't work. I searched on Google how to overclock, but none of those guides work.

3D Settings -> Manage 3D Settings -> Global Settings Tab -> Power Management Mode -> Prefer Maximum Performance

Found this in the nvidia forums:

It is on a lappy however....

I went to "Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options" and chose "Change plan settings" for the plan that I was using. Then I chose "Change advanced power settings" and went under the "Display" section and found what is called "NVIDIA Display Power Saving technology". I switch this setting from "Enabled" to "Disabled" for On battery. After applying the setting, the problem went away.

Also for rivatuner:

Here is something else to try:

Nope Riva Tuner doesn't work.

Man I don't get what's wrong. Everything was fine during Chimp Challenge.

I may have figured it out... Lowest possible memory clock speeds = the weird slowdown I was experiencing. If I keep things at stock speed, then all is well.
