thanks zz, yeah, it didn't make much sense to me either unless their was some kind of feature in the new driver I installed that slowed the card down during idle or light use. I guess you call that PowerMiser ... seen it mentioned before...

About 4 hours ago now I dumped the Dell 174.31 driver and I installed the 179.29 driver from LV2G with modded inf (first time I've ever used a modded video driver) and I am baffled. For 2-1/2 years since I bought this M1710 the 7950 GTX...

Right, my M1710 cycled between 70 & 80*C constantly with the latest A07 BIOS. I installed i8kfanGUI and now I can keep it between 50 & 65*C (just what I chose) with the fans barely running any more often. You can't even hear the...

Yes, a great sticky guide that I wish I had found a little earlier too ... but as usual you don't go searching for a solution until you've run into the problem. One note could be made: The black mylar strips adhered to the top of the...

yeah, I seriously considered retiring my 1710 and would have had I not found this repair offer for the 7950 GTX. I spent far too much time looking for a solution to this ongoing failure but I was having a hard time accepting defeat and...

It was about $180 and that included the shipping back to you and a 30 day warranty. I'd post the link I used but it's likely not allowed but you can find them on EBay by searching "7950 repair". They also repair a number of...
