GPU-Z 0.37 still ramping between idle and load at desktop

mankind · Nov 20, 2009

With only GPU-Z open as before.

As mentioned before with Afterburner the clocks stay at 157/300, but as soon as GPU-Z is opened up and down the clock speeds go.

Vista 64/9.11 official drivers (occurs with all)/Asus 5870.

i can't recreate the problem here so i can't fix it

mankind · Nov 21, 2009

Well it's something to do with GPU-Z as it only happens when it's open

Any idea's why it would ramp the clocks up and down?

Go from what clocks to what clocks?

mankind · Nov 21, 2009

157/300 to 3D clocks like thus :-

Happens here, too. Every time GPU-Z 0.3.7 is started up... This never happened before with CPU-Z. It still works OK with GPU-Z 0.3.6, though.

it probably happens because the sensor polling / window drawing creates enough load for the card to think it is no longer in idle

Fabfire · Nov 21, 2009

Well, it's an annoyance, as it happens only when GPU-Z 0.3.7 is started - but it is an annoyance, nevertheless...
Any chance of a quick fix?

How come this happens with the 5870? As with my previous 4850 it was fine....

Can anything be done about it? As sensor polling/window drawing works fine in Afterburner.......

Still the same in 0.38.....

I think it's a problem with either your drivers, another program accessing your card, the card itself or the cards bios.

does it go away if you disable all sensors except for the load sensor? if yes, enable them one by one, maybe it's caused by a specific sensor

There are no other programmes that access thre sensors/card running, just desktop.

It's caused by the VDDC sensor.

can anyone confirm that disabling the vddc sensor solves the problem?

Well it does here
