sluggish GTX 295

[zerlik]

HELP!!! I get about 4k furmarks from my Gigabyte GTX 295 running on a GTX ud4p motherboard with an i7 920. all stock clocks. 6gb dd3-1600 memory.

The weird thing is when I use the cpu z tool the sensors show the card way under clocked.
gpu core at 300, gpu memory at 100 vs. 576 and 1008 respectively.

Using windows 7 64 bit.

The card performs ok at best in wow. as your fly around the shadows lag. you see an area then you see the shader applying the shadow.

Thanks in advance.
Z.

what drivers you using? what power supply?

That's the default speed in 2D mode. When you are in 3D mode, the speed will be back to normal.

take a screenie of gpu-z.... that should give us some more info and while you at it fill in some system specs

not sure how to do images. keeps asking for url.

cpu z stuff:

Name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295

I select the other side and it shows the same.
If I go to sensors that is where it shows the 300 and 100. for all three options: min, max and current. Even after running a furmark test.

From furmark:

Try changing your graphics drivers.

 

[zerlik]

To what, I have the latest ones available from NVidia. 190.38 are the latest Windows 7 64 bit drivers? which version should I downgrade to?

Or he could try reinstalling vantage...

 

[InTeL-iNsIdE]

Please post the rest of your system specs to help people help you!

Is it a new card ? what did you have before? have you reinstalled/updated windows/run driver sweeper before installing new drivers ?

Information is key in helping diagnose what the problem is

He's not running vantage but furmark.

It sounds like it's not coming out of 2d clocks try running something other than furmark. Perhaps a game other than wow as that doesn't support sli in the first place and from my experience can actually cause issues.
