GTX 670 - Turbo Clock

[Christian Ney]

 

 

I have tested the ASUS GTX 670 DirectCU II Top

 

 

 

GPU-Z is reading clock right but under GPU Tweak, GPU-Z monitoring (sensor), MSI Afterburner monitoring, the GPU Clock is up to 1300 MHz according to all those monitoring softwares.

 

I would like to know if you guys had the same, if it's normal ?

 

GPU Boost is really confusing me.

Each card boosts to a different max clock.

It depends on your luck ( core quality, conditions, temp, utilization, settings used, etc etc ).

 

Have PrecisionX or Afterburner show the GPU Power %, GPU Clock, GPU Utilization in game at a 500ms refresh rate.

That'll show you how it behaves.

 

If it hits 1306MHz even for a few seconds on its own without you changing any overclock settings, chances are you've got a 1400+ card there.

[Christian Ney]

even if I lock it with GPU tweak this bitch goes up to 1300 MHz

You are never happy C, you get a specially handpicked GTX670 and you still want more

[Christian Ney]

In fact I want real clocks not BS clocks

[Christian Ney]

Got it now, worth an article, hope it will be out on monday

[BenchZowner]

You can also try with P2 performance state to keep turbo off and lock the card at a specific frequency in case your max turbo boost frequency fluctuates ( forgot to tell ya sorry )

Looking forward to it.

GPUz reading clock wrong ... its normal at GTX 670 Real clock is in Precision/Afterburner/GPU tweak monitor screen, not main screen!

[Christian Ney]

Yeah that's what I found, only when monitoring you read right clocks

how you can set base clock the same as boost clock?, by bios editor? or power target tuning?

I have one of these now and it, too, gets ~1,300 boost throughout testing. Impressive card right out of the box. Still trying to get used to the whole weird overclocking settings, but I'll get the hang of it before I publish a review.

cmd => disable pstate 10, use only pstate2

cmd => disable pstate 10, use only pstate2

 

ok, open cmd, write "disable pstate 10?" or which is exact string?

[Christian Ney]

latest nvidia inspector > cmd prompt > nvidiainspector.exe -setPStateLimit:0,2

 

EDIT: It was nvidiainspector.exe -forcepstate:0,2

ive tryed it yesterday thru nvinspector by setpstate. but its not working for me. clock is still 700 mhz and ocing not work. maybe old ver of inspector?

[Christian Ney]

nope, used 1.9.6.5

i have latest inspector, but -setPStateLimit:0,2 is 705 MHz ... and cannot to change clock by afterburner or other tool

 

edit: -forcepstate:0,2 is working, i can set base clock in nvinspector too ... thanks, great thing
