Is there a way to disable dynamic core frequency on GTX 460 HAWK?

I just got Assassin's creed III.
I've noticed the core frequency on my GTX 460's going up and down during game play.  When the core frequency drops my frame rate drops also.  I have two GTX 460 HAWK's in SLi.  Yesterday while runnning AC3 for the first time I noticed SLi wasn't working but a game update this morning seems to have fixed that.
This up and down frequency change could be caused by a bottle neck elsewhere in my system.  My Mother board is old.
System is XPS 720 (Dell)
Windows 7 (SP1)
MB - nvidia 680i (all delled to hell)
RAM - 8 Gig - OCZ
CPU - Intel QX6700 (3.2 GHz and doesn't max load during gameplay)
Single (crappy) Asus monitor @ 1920-1080
Accepting the idea of a bottle neck, I'm still curious, is there a way to lock the GTX 460 HAWK's at their max frequency of 780 MHz?  Mostly for the purposes of testing.

Thankyou for that instruction.  This worked exactly as I had hoped it would by increasing the frame rate and making gameplay smoother.  I suspect this will improve issues I've had with other games.  I wonder if this will have to be reset back to OFF everytime I update the graphics driver?
It's my opinion that by default this power saving option should be turned off.  I just don't understand the idea that someone who buys a high performance video card or cards as in my case (in SLi no less) would want their performance severely reduced to save power.  I guess it would be great if I was on a lap top or relying on a generator for electricity or something.
I know someone who recently bought a pre-built gaming rig that had power saving features turned on by default for the CPU.  This was causing stuttering and severely reduced performance when in games.  When I bought this computer it also had these (two of them) CPU power saving features turned on.  Am I the only one who thinks it's common sense to either rid a gaming rig completely of these "features" or at least have them turned off by default?

  • Is there any way to disable runtime schema validation

    At runtime Kodo appears to validate that all of the tables and columns
    referenced in the mapping table exist in the datebase. Is there any way
    to disable this. It takes an extremely long time for the validation to
    complete and although it may be useful during certain stages of
    development or to verify a new deployment it isn't really all that
    desirable.
    Thanks,

    Is there any way to disable preview-icons & fileinfo for connected drives?
    i.e. when i'm connecting to SMB share, and i see .mp4 file, i see icon change to video-frame.
    and when i see folder, i see "5 items"
    and i wanna disable it per-dir or per-connect.

    Praveen-
    The dispatcher caches the entire HTTP response body, so doing what you are describing actually requires two steps:
    1) Loading the non-cacheable component through Ajax (or some other edge side assembly technology like ESI)
    2) Including the Dispatcher: no-cache header in the response when that component is requested.
    #1 is pretty easy to do with jQuery
    #2 is covered here: http://dev.day.com/content/kb/home/Dispatcher/faq-s/DispatcherNoCache.html
    You will probably want to use the WCMMode to only do the dynamic loading on the publish server.

  • Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?

    Is there a way to disable previously viewed iMessages from appearing as Messages notifications when waking my MacBook Pro from sleep?  Regardless of whether I am using iMessage from  my iPhone or iPad, when I open my MBP, I get attacked by Messages notifications for iMessages I've obviously already seen or responded to.  Is there a way to change this?  Are others having this issue?
    Additionally,  previous iMessages sent or received from those  devices sometimes don't populate into the Messages window on the MBP.  I haven't been able to identify when or what causes this; sometimes it just doesn't seem to work (and I verified that the messages sent/received were, in fact, iMessages and not SMS).
    Thanks - any help or insight would be appreciated!

    First you need to determine what laptop model you have; then we can help you. A Mac Book Pro cannot run OS 9.1.
    With your Mac booted up, click on the  at the far left of the menu. Then click on About This Mac. It will show what version of OS  you are running. What is the version?
    A MBP will be running something like version 10.x.
    If you are running version OS 9.x, you don't have a Mac Book Pro.

  • Is there a way to disable push mail from Yahoo? It's draining my battery

    I'm on the prepaid plan and every 10-15 minutes my iphone turns on with a "The last transaction cost $0.00" message. I don't mind the message (although it is a bit annoying) but my problem is that this turns the LCD on for about 2 minutes at a time.
    I charged my battery to 100% last night, haven't used it at all today and after just turning it on a few minutes ago I had the "Your battery life is at 10%" message followed by a 5% remaining message a few minutes later.
    I've heard that it's the yahoo push mail service thats causing the phone to give the message (since it connects to the internet). My Yahoo account is my main one and I'd hate to have to login to yahoo's site each time to check it (the email functionality was a big selling point for me with the iphone). ATT/Apple don't seem to want to disable this message/"Feature", so I'm guessing I would need to step in and do something on my end.
    Is there any way to disable yahoo mail from "pushing" messages to my phone? I can hit the Check Mail button if I have to.

    Hi Everyone,
    To give an update on the situation: I disabled the Yahoo account and it seems to make a VERY NOTICEABLE difference in battery life - prior to this my battery would drain quite rapidly but since disabling it it's only lost about 15-20% over the past 24 hours (and thats with using the video/music/internet functions for about an hour and a half).. Prior to this it would have been close to drained under the same circumstances.
    Also, to confirm, the "Your last transaction cost 0.00" messages only appear when accessing the internet manually now. before they appeared every 10-15 minutes with no interaction from myself at all (while it was sitting idle, while watching videos, while charging, while in my pocket, etc..)
    I do have it set to only check Manually but Yahoo would seem to check on it's own even though this setting is checked (I'm guessing it has to do with the Push setting). Aside from draining the battery, it was quite annoying having 30 or so "Your transaction cost $0.00" messages to click through whenever I turned on the phone.
    I did have the screen set to shut off after 1 min, but the 'your transaction cost..' messages would first wake the iphone up, the screen would stay bright for about 30 seconds, dim for about 30 seconds, then turn on bright again for 1 minute until it shut off. I'm guessing the screen (being on for about 10-15 minutes per hour due to this) and the fact that yahoo accesses the internet on such a frequent basis are what cut the battery life down.
    I really wish I could make Yahoo work more like Gmail and have it manually search for new mail

  • Is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)?

    hello everyone I've just switched from chrome to ff and I'm very satisfied. Just one problem, is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)? I've changed the colour of tab font (with userchrome.css) to white to improve readability but with white text is too bold. thanks !!

    hey thanks for the quick reply. here's a screenshot
    http://www.mediafire.com/view/?c2a2l69ci5zbq#bt6qrwr6ku8m5n6
    i think we just have to add some antialiasing in the userchrome.css? but i don't know the code.
    here's my modified userchrome.css
    /* Inactive Tab */
    tab:not([selected="true"]) {
    color:white !important;}
    /* Tab while loading */
    tab[busy] {
    color: blue !important;}
    tab .tab-text {
    font-size: 12px !important;
    /* tab font */
    tab .tab-text {
    font-family:Verdana !important;
    i read somewhere else the problem is more evident with white text on dark background
    thanks

  • The status bar is blocking my content, is there a way to disable it via Javascript and the likes?

    I'm working on a site that requires a bottom footer in a fixed position, with a control button on the left hand side, my problem is, that the `new` status bar area covers this section for quite some time whilst it's requesting data, or waiting for the server, is there a way to disable it via JavaScript or some sort? It seems kind of silly for a status bar to cover your content (no offence), the old way was much nicer, sure it used more screen space, but atleast it didn't assume things. I just couldn't find a solution anywhere else, other than to move the button. :)
