GTX680 Lightning Throttles... at stock

Dj-ElectriC · Nov 3, 2012, 08:08 PM

I don't usually start threads, but when i do, im totally desperate.

My GTX680 throttles and gives about 40% of its performance. I tried different drivers, pulling it out of the PCIE socket and putting it right back im. Tried switching cards - nada.

Help, if anyone knows a solution....

Update: Installing the driver with one card and than rebooting with a second seems to solve the problem.

defuq NVIDIA, not cool.

Ok that did not solve the problem. Now second card is at 191%

With the one defective card:
