Gtx 670 Core Clock problem !

Hi, I just bought a new 670 gtx, but In game I have only 540 MHz used on my Core Clock.
I have a lot of fps drop in Starcraft II and in Battlefield 3, what can I do to fix this ?
Sorry for my bad English I'm french :D

have you connected all power cables?

  • There seems to be a R9 290/X 2D Core Clock problem...

    Right, a little background info; I am currently using my THIRD MSI 290X Lightning (Bought from Overclockers uk, First two were from Amazon.co.uk)
    All three cards had random freeze/stalls or instant sudden reboots on tasks such as playing VLC, using Chrome, Catalyst (CCC) etc.
    Upon upgrading my PSU and these problems still persisiting, I was very concerned and researched more and more. I found that alot of people are having trouble with this aswell on several different cards (Ranging from 260X to 290X, including the 290) several from different manufacturers too!
    The fix for me:
    - Solving VLC/Video Playback crashes (doesn't solve Youtube crashes): Disable "Enforce Smooth Video Playback" in CCC Global Video Quality settings.
    EDIT: The above was no longer required after I changed the 2D Clocks... All VLC and youtube video playback work perfectly with the below fix/workaround...
    - Preventing Freezes/reboots on simple 2D Clock based tasks (e.g. GPU @ 300Mhz/idle)
    To solve this one, GPU tweak was required to change the 2D core clock settings from 300Mhz to 600Mhz, I am quite annoyed at this as such expensive cards should not have weird niggles like this... could we reach out to MSI and AMD for this? :(
    I'd much rather a Driver/MSI BIOS fix...
    PS. If I close GPU Tweak at any time, crashes soon follow (this is because the 2D core clocks are then allowed to go down to 300Mhz again) I really do not want to force a modded BIOS...

    Hi
    Re: There seems to be a R9 290/X 2D Core Clock problem...
    Yep same problem here, purchased an MSI 290 Gaming 1 month ago, amazing graphics card for the first 2 weeks whilst I played nothing but Bio Shock, BF4 and World of tanks.
    Then then my daughters who are both into Minecraft wanted to use the computer, they play and watch You Tube at the same time. That's when the Blue Screens started. I have build a lot of PC in my time and starting researching on the forums. That's were I discovered the 3 issues with this card Blue and Black screens of death and Shockwave problems.
    Don't get the Black Screen, so I followed the instructions and pretty sure I fixed the Video player problems, but not the issue you highlighted. Spoke to the supplier of the card last week and agreed to try several things before RMA. Went through various driver installation sequences, removed other hardware, checked Bios setting, followed various internet fixes that wouldn't damage the computer and swapped back to my old 5870 twice which work 100%. Nothing Worked, I have a 850watt PSU with 70A 12 volt rail, and the card works fine under load.
    I agree this a 2d-3d switching problem, confirmed by World of Tanks works fine in 3d but BSOD when going back to menu, Marvel Super Heros same thing. Minecraft also crashes but not sure why. load game leave it sit there with no one playing, come back 10 minutes later. Computer has restarted.
    Some one said to up the PCI Express frequency, tried this, seemed to work but had to reinstall windows 2 hours later. I also checked out setting customer profiles, but why should I?!!. One of the reason I bought this card was because of the low idle power consumptions in 2d. Plus I can't expect my 7 and 10 year old daughters to swap profiles around when they use my computer.
    My Question is that given there are a lot of people having these problems. There are thousands of posts on the net, why is the only comment from AMD. A post from one of their forum administrators complaining that people are using bad language on their forums. To make matters worse this post is almost 12 months old and still no fix??? No wonder people are annoyed.
    So I will politely ask you guys at MSI if you can shed some light on this.
    I will be copying this post and pasting it into my RMA form later this week if I can't finger anything else out , I am just worried if it goes back they will just load test the card under 3d and send it back to me again. In this case it'll go on EBAY. 

  • MSI GTX 275 Lightning Core Clock problems

    Gooday
    I've had my MSI GTX 275 lightning Edition card now for about 1.5 years, when i play games the core clock runs at its full speed of 702 Mhz, then when im in Windows, its drops to 301 Mhz (understandable, 2 different modes 3d/2d, i think), but now when i play games and dont alt-tab or anything it runs @ 702, but the minute i alt-tab just to check something on the net i start getting problems, when i switch back to the game it switches smoothly and perfect, but 30 minutes sown the line the whole display freezes,(but the game sounds continue) then if alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del its runs it fine but from then on the card FORCES the core clock down to 400Mhz and i have to restart the pc to get to to normal. and it does that even more often if msiafterburner is running (but also when i uninstalled it)
    Why would it do that?, the core doesnt get hot, i leave the fan on 100%(core temp=45-60'C)
    Extra info :
    Drivers=270.61 (same on 266, and 258)
    same happens if i oc to 740
    psu is 600W Vantec (2x 22 amp 12V rail)
    Core i7 920 (no oc)
    7 GB Ram
    Windows 7 x64 SP1 ultimate

    Sorry i forgot to add that to the first post, yep, re-installed windows, with/out SP1 with th different driver versions and also with/out or different gpu programs ie afterburner evga precision, riva tuner. The problem wasnt noticeable for about a year then lately it got worse and worse. I thought it was afterburner and the settings but without afterburner the game would only freeze much later on (few more hours) i saw (sorry cant say were exactly) that other users also had similar problems, where the game would get very choppy and windows would say "display driver stopped responding...) mine doesnt tell me that, the game would freeze and/or get a black screen and then few seconds later it would return but most of the time with the Forced down (400mhz) clock but windows didnt pick up display probs

  • Gtx 970, Core Clock Spike Normal?

    Is it normal for my gpu1 core clock to have small, consistent spikes?  http://i.imgur.com/8DcQxY7.png?1
    I recently updated my drivers since some older drivers would make the fan in the msi gtx 970 4g have consistent spikes.  Looks like that's gone, but I'm not sure if this is normal for my core clock.
    EDIT:  Derp... that's the fan tachometer, sorry.  Looks like it's still having the same problems.  Has anyone found a fix for this yet?  I know I can rollback to 344.16... I've been using that up until now, but I had to update to 344.75 in order to use Physx on High on Borderlands 2.  This sucks :(.

  • GTX 670 fps drops problem

    Hi,
    I have problem with my new graphic card and don't know if it is driver issue or if it is defective graphic card or some other component is bottleneck ? Can you please help me?
    My PC
    CPU: AMD Phenom II 1090T 3,2 GHz (is bottleneck?)
    MB: ASUS M4N68T updated BIOS few days
    GPU: MSI N670GTX-PM2D2GD5/OC installed 301.42 WHQL drivers and also tried older drivers from CD
    PSU: Corsair TX650-V2 (is it enough? )
    Case: Coolermaster CM690 Dominator II
    RAM: Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz 2x2GB +2x4GB
    Monitor: LG W2242SM connected by VGA adapter (playing on 1680x1050)
    My problem is:
    In games like battlefield 2, Crysis 2, ArmaII, Alice Madness Returns, Dragon age, Skyrim my fps drops very often.
    For example in Battlefield 3 (Gulf of Oman) I start game with 80fps (setting: ULTRA 1680x1050) and after 2 minutes fps drop to about 30-20 or even 17 fps. I first thought it was only big scene with many details but when i stayed in same place about 1 minute it returned to 75fps but scene was still same.
    I tried:
    - Change details to High - even worse , Medium and Low - still remain,
    - Turn off- blur, v-sync - problem still remains
    - turn off anti aliasing - Problem remains
    - in nvidia control panel turn v-sync off and power management set to maximum performence, in windows too
    - re install drivers - clean installation ( i try all drivers available from MSI site and Nvidia too
    - Re install windows (windows 7 professional 64-bit)
    - uninstall MSI afterburner, than install newer one.
    I took screenshot from MSI afterburner where you can see huge GPU usage drop in game.
    Thank you for any help

  • Core clock on a powercolor 9800 SE (EDIT: SOLVED...See below if having core clock problems)

    I have a 9800 SE soft modded to a 9800 pro and with this mobo every time I look my core clock has been knocked down a couple of notches. I know it can run at 400+ but it always semms to get knocked down to around 386 or so. I know it isnt the card because I used this card in my old Athlon XP system and it was fine. Anybody else have this problem with their video cards? I'm using atiTool to monitor the core clock.

  • Three displays with GTX 670 -- duplicating desktop problem

    Just got a new computer with an Asus GTX 670 card.   I am running 3 displays:  1. (Main) Dell U2412M via DVI port,   2.  Old Samsung LCD monitor via DVI port with VGA adapter,  3. Samsung 59" plasma TV via HDMI port.  I am trying to duplicate the desktop on my TV, but the card will only allow me to extend the desktop to the TV.  TV goes blank when I try to duplicate the desktop.  I am able to duplicate the desktop on the TV when my third monitor is not connected.  My old Samsung monitor displays an extended desktop which is what I want.  
    If anyone has figured out the workings of this new card, I'd like to know if it is possible to duplicate the desktop on my TV with my setup.   Thanks

    Yes, as I mentioned in my post, the GTX will extend the desktop to all 3 displays, that is, I can move a window from the main monitor to either of the other two displays.  I am trying to duplicate the desktop on my main monitor to the TV so they show exactly the same thing, as one would do in a presentation with a projector.   This is possible if I don't use a third monitor.

  • MSI GTX 660 TF 2GD5/OC (SLI) Running at 50% Core clock

    Hello there,
    In my home setup, I have two MSI GTX 660 TF 2GD5/OC cards installed in my Mainboard (ASRock 970 Extreme4) in an SLI configuration (together with a bridge, of course). I would say that everything is running fine.
    Though, with 3D mark, my core clock seems to be clocking in at 549 Mhz
    http://www.3dmark.com/fs/738108
    While in the official specifications, 1098 seems the normal rate (hm, that is exactly 50% slower).
    http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N660-TF-2GD5-OC.html#/?div=Specification
    I am using the latest (BETA) Nvidia Driver 326.41 driver.
    I have the feeling something is off, and my 3Dmark is actually a lot lower then it should be, since installing the 2nd card, my performance with Rise of the Triad 2013 and Super Street Fighter AE seems to have dropped (I can barely play in 3D anymore, while I had no problem doing so with a single card, and according to the Nvidia site, SSFIVAE supports 3D and SLI).
    Can you guys give me some pointers what might be the problem? Thanks in advance!

  • Should i boost my memory clock when i boost my core clock? (gtx 970)

    ive oced my msi 4g gtx 970 to 1400mhz, i have also boosted my memory clock to 1803mhz, what will boosting the memory clock do ? will it just increase fps and performance like increasing the core clock would.

    I was able to OC my Gaming 970 350+MHz on the memory clock. I have to say that I have never owned a GPU that is as powerful as this one. I have owned an MSI TF 7950 Boost OC edition, a Gaming 760 in SLI and 3 way SLI with 2 EVGA 760s and recently upgraded to this awesome BEAST of a GPU at Christmas!!! I LOVE YOU MSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Problem MSI H61M-P21 and GTX 670

    I bought a motherboard MSI H61M-P21 however it does not recognize my GeForce GTX 670 but recognizes other video cards and the video card works on other motherboards. My power supply is sufficient for the PC.

    I bought the motherboard and processor mentioned above but when I turned on the pc it was not starting (turn on for a few seconds and restarted infinitely), returned the motherboard to the shop they "upgraded" and sent me back and then pc work normal (except for this problem with vga) and the BIOS version when come back to me was 19.0. I don't know what was the version before this, because I can't start the PC.

  • My GTX 580 OC will not drop the core clock frequency when idle

    The model is N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC .
    I have read some reviews said that the GTX580 drops the core clock down to about 50MHz when idle. But my card will always stay at 823MHz. Is this a issue or it's just working as intended? Can i have the clock auto-tunable?
    Thanks in advance

  • MSI GTX 670 PE power throttling

    Hello guys
    I had this GPU for a month, it hasn`t been running very stable when playing BF3 and Shogun 2. SO after trying few things, different BIOS I downclocked it by 40 Mhz and it runs fine. Downclocked it boosts at 1124 Mhz.
    0After playing BF3 for a while I noticed couple of times that my FPS went from 70s to 55-60. That is 20 fps loss. When this happens I check core clocks for throttling and what I see everytime is that clocks are the same however power consumption goes from 90% to 80% and I think this is why I get this big loss of performance as every other factor stays the same but the power draw. The GPU is overclocked only on memory by 600 Mhz as every OC on core I have done, no matter how mild just wasn`t stable.
    Could someone advice me what to do to keep the power draw more or less the same as 20 fps means 25-30% loss of performance and this irritates me.
    Thanks for any input.

    Quote from: flobelix on 10-January-13, 03:31:32
    What should that mean? Decreasing power limit means donwnclocking and preventing boost . That has nothing to do with the decreased power consumption you reported of. Lower real power consuption does not decrease boost clockrates but enable full boost.
    I don`t know...But have you tried it? As I said, my clocks are the same, GPU boosts to 1124 Mhz and stays there.
    It hasn`t been happening now for  a couple of days after I flashed an older official BIOS. I have come across someone with similar problem with EVGA card, have a look:
    http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=1738711&mpage=1&print=true
    There might be more ppl with gtx 670 and this issue, they just might not be aware of it.

  • New gtx 670 PE: need help oc'ing while maintaining longevitiy

    Hey everyone,
    so i recently picked up a GTX 670 Power edition, and have tinkered around with overclocking it.
    so far, i have it at:
    +40 Core voltage
    114% power limit
    +91 Core Clock
    +635 Memory clock
    I am currently stable running heaven benchmark and playing battlefield 3, with temperatures topping at 67c
    now my question is, how safe is it to run +40mv on the corevoltage for everyday use and how far can voltage be pushed before hurting the card's lifespan. I wish to keep this card running at top shape for atleast 3 years, so im a bit worried about pumping excessive voltage through it.
    I'm pretty new to GPU overclocking, but have some experience with cpu overclocking so i know that voltage and electromigration are a concern with cpu overclocking and its lifespan, thus im worried about pushing that core voltage slider too far. Can anyone give some advice?
    Thanks!

    You are absolutely safe. You can't set dangerous voltages with Afterburner as long as gpu does not overheat. Your 67°C are very fine. You are 30°C from the max temp of 97°C (http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-670/specifications) so that's brilliant. Right now there is no problem with shortened lifespan in your case.

  • New GeForce GTX 670 vs Quadro FX 4800

    Had some computer failures, at first I thought my Quadro FX 4800 was dying... but it appears Im going to have to replace my motherboard. horay.
    In trouble shooting I bought a GTX 670. (changed the txt file to make it work with Mercury) and now that I need to replace the mobo, I have a feeling the 4800 is ok.
    So the question is... if the 4800 is fine... is there a significant jump in performance with the GTX 670? Is it worth the $400

    Nick,
    I'm late to this thread; just read it for the first time, and I have several observations to share...
    1) I tend to agree with Harm and and RjL regarding the GTX being quite a bit stronger; so in your system where this is not evidenced, possibly the video card it is not the "critical path" (or bottleneck) for whatever you are doing (playback, render, etc.). Running Harm and Bill's excellent PPBM5 benchmark can tell you a lot about how the various areas of your system perform and the 800+ system database shows what others are getting from their listed hardware.
    2) Premiere Pro is pretty good at taxing all of a PCs resources and "balance" of components is important in order to eek out the best overall performance. I would quickly add another RAID 0 pair to this system if I were you. You can test this theory too by looking at the performance tab in Windows task manager and see if your cpus (all 4 cores and 4 hyperthread cores) are working pretty hard. If they never all running at or very close to 100%, then you have gains to be made by either tweaking the system and/or revising components in your build.
    3) You may not even have a motherboard problem; buy or borrow a highy rated 850w or larger power supply and see if that does not clear up whatever woes you are blaming your motherboard on; 650 may not be enough for rendering RED!
    Regards,
    Jim

  • GTX 670 in Mac Pro 5.1

    Hey guys,
    I am using the 8c 5,1 Mac pro with the standard 5770 installed. I am an high end user but I do not want to spend the buck on a Quadro.
    I want an GTX 670 in my Mac pro, can someone tell me what I need and what I need to do?
    some more info:
    -Don't need the Bootscreen, I can use bootchamp
    -I run 10.8 ML
    -I have the 27" ACD mdp
    -no experience upgrading a gpu in a Mac pro, however I do on a regular gaming rig.
    can you guys help? I think that many more would like to know the awnser because these GPU's are just outdated now.      *thx Apple -.-*
    -Sam

    Hi sam, i just bought msi gtx 670 for my mac pro 8 core 2010 model. you can use this graphics inside but only for windows only, i think there is some solution to run on mac, but i dont care as for now because im not using mac all the time. my only problem is my fan in my mac cannot control, not unlike the hd 5870. so i feel a bit of heat on my mac but still my processor on idle still not going above 50%, almost 44 to 48 on idle. also about the card you should buy the 2x6 pins because some of the graphics card have 2x8 pins. but everything i can run in ultra like battlefield 3, medal of honor. the fps is around 50-90 on campaign & for the multiplayer its around 50-70. still need to check my graphics card because i just bought it last sunday.
