Hey, when the display turns off after the set time, shouldn't the temp drop quite a bit on the GPU since the display is pretty much disabled? You'd think it would do this to save power and heat when the display was off during the night and stuff.

Thread Starter 
The GPU is only going to power down and cool off if you lower the power settings from within the NVIDIA Control Panel so that the GPU clocks back. Setting it to Battery Power even when on AC power can help it to cool off... When I'm not gaming, I do this because I don't really need full power when I'm sitting there doing nothing but surfing the web or working in OpenOffice or whatever else within Windows... When its set to this, my GPU never goes over 40c. If I have it set to "normal" (full power on AC, etc.) then my GPU will go to about 50c even within Windows, not doing anything, so it can make a difference.

About the whole drinks thing or whatever, LOL. Well, unfortunately, I'm only 18, so I can't exactly go to a bar, but yeah *wink* . LOL. And for anyone that's wondering, I live in AZ, LOL. Yeah, hot as hell, I know.

Too bad there isn't a way to make it change like this on the fly.. If you're at the desktop, have it automatically go to this lower setting, and when a 3D mode comes into play, it goes up to the highest setting. Thanks for the info, I'll give that a try.

size 12? Don't get it ^^. Be happy, no pain, no joy.

@other dude: These drivers were specifically made for oblivion, takes 10 FPS from NFS MW, supposedly. That'd be my guess, or some setting switched back to default on installing the new drivers, anything you changed last time?

Cheers, Tony...thanks for the drivers. They seem to work great in Oblivion, but the game is desperately needing a patch or some kind of optimization. Countless people at the Elder Scrolls Forum http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/i...p?showforum=23
are struggling with crashing and performance issues as you might already know. Keep your chin up buddy...we've all been through the crapper and life has a funny way of working itself out

Just to put some oil on the fire: Rivatuner shows a 'core Vid non-domensional' of 6v standard. when the screen blanks it lowers to 2v.... when re-activated it jumps back up to 6v.

lower voltage = lower temps? Perhaps not, if it's only an indicating signal.

Hey, I have noticed something interesting going on with my 6800NU. When I'm playing Oblivion, the temperature (according to I9Kfangui) goes up to 67-68C. After playing, when I go into Event Viewer, I see an Error: Event ID 109 (Source: nv) saying "Silent Running: rising temperature caused level transition: L2-> L1". This sort of sounds like my video card is getting throttled? Shouldn't that not happen until a much higher temp (97C)? Also, I didn't notice any irregular or sudden slow down (other than the usual 13fps). Anyone know what's going on here?
