GTX680 Lightning Throttles... at stock

[dj-electric]

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:

Sorry to revive an old post, but if you haven't fixed it yet, use MSI Afterburner to set one card to 300% power limit, but I imagine you RMA'd it already, or got something else.

 

[dj-electric]

I indeed RMA'd it.

I still have my 680 Lightning sitting on top of my closet, replaced with a 7970 because I needed the extra VRAM. Haven't got around to selling it yet.

Uh, are you complaining about it throttling while idle? Because in the picture you posted it is idle and the clocks naturally drop to help conserve power. Why run a card at 100% when 30% is enough to do normal browsing?

If you look at it, it says the power consumption is at 191% power consumption. Which is obviously wrong because it's almost impossible to do that, but the card naturally throttles at 100% TDP
