Underclocking a GeforceFX 5900XT

Post by ragnar » Wed May 12, 2004 8:59 am

I've been fiddling with the clock settings on my Graphics card. I don't seem to be able to set different settings on the memory clock in 2D and 3D, though. The GPU seems to (at least in the GUI) be set at different clocks (i.e. 75Mhz for 2D and 390Mhz for 3D). But I would so much like to run the memory @175Mhz in 2D and 700 in 3D without having to reset the settings whenever I want to run 3D or 2D repectively.

Has anyone with the same chip as me had any success at this. When underclocking the GPU and memory my GPU temperature is more than 10 degrees C cooler, which is doing wonders for CPU temperature and of course my PSU fan speed.
