GeForce go 7400 powermizer problem...

[TiesTorN]

Hi,

I have a laptop with the go 7400 graphics card and I have a weird problem... It's always working in "performance 3d mode" and because of that it heats up and consuming extra power for nothing... btw I'm now using windows 7. When I was using XP, it was always working in "low power 3d" mode (again not in 2d mode)

It has 3 modes, which are; "standard 2d, lower power 3d and performance 3d" that I can see in rivatuner overclocking section...

in short, my question is; what can I do to make this stupid card to run @ 2d mode all the time? I don't need any extra clock speed 'cuz I never play games with my laptop... I only need it to be cooler and battery lasting longer...

Just turn all (in all modes) the clocks lower...

First of all, downclocking isn't the same as switching to 2d mode because that mode also lowers it's voltage so its more beneficial for the battery...

and second; I can't lower it as much as 2d mode clock speeds, it has a bottom limit of 225mhz, while the 2d mode is 100mhz.

BTW I tried flashing the card's bios but that's no good either... nvflash says "eeprom is unknown.."

lol it's fixed when I installed the latest modified driver from laptopvideo2go instead of nvidia's mobile driver...
