260 gtx (216) power saving

[BloodyIron]

I just got a 216 260, evga superclocked, and I keep reading about how it underclocks to save power when at the desktop. However I am monitoring my temps, and clocks, and do not see this happen.

I am using the latest drivers as of yesterday. I am running Windows XP. I probably updated DirectX within the last month or two. I am running a 680i SLI mobo (got it a week after release).

Tips?

what software are you using to monitor temps and clocks?

 

[BloodyIron]

The nvidia monitoring bit (I think it's the suite that deals with the ESA?)
