Thread ID: 80686 2007-07-02 01:09:00 7900GTX - do they run only at 275MHz core when idle? qazwsxokmijn (102) Press F1

564903 2007-07-02 01:09:00 Just bought myself an Asus 7900GTX. Everest reported it is running at 275MHz core speed, instead of the normal 650MHz. Memory is still at 1600 though.

So, are there any ex-owners or owners of 7900GTX that can tell me they only run at 275MHz core when idle?

564904 2007-07-02 01:44:00 I think the 7series had 2 speeds, 2d & 3d, could be wrong, it might be the ati cards.... SolMiester (139)

564906 2007-07-02 03:05:00 Thanks all.

I just did a 3DMark06 tests, and Everest reported 650MHz core clock, so it's all good now.

Thanks a bunch!

564907 2007-07-02 08:38:00 I have one, they run at a slower speed in 2D and in 3D they will go at the full speed or faster if you overclock them. apsattv (7406)
564908 2007-07-03 06:28:00 As others have said there is 2D and 3D settings, 2D is 275MHz and 3D is 650MHz (stock) The_End_Of_Reality (334)
