I just did a clean install of Win 7 Ulti x64 last night, and figured I would give the 257.15 drivers a go....they have had improvements in all the games ive tried since then(specifically BFBC2, love lower load times, and able to hit 60+FPS on media all the time), however in MSI Afterburner I am now unable to see what my GPU usage is, every other graph still works.....this issue is present on stock, my OC setting(760Core/1900 Shader/1100 Memory, this is 100% stable, has been for a while), and on my power/heat saving setting(510 Core/1275 Shader/825 Memory, basically the lowest I can put all of the sliders....

any idea how to get it back, its not too worrying not to have it, but if one graph is off , i figure maybe another is, and my temp may be wrong, or another sensory/reader.


forgot to add, i did install/download the Win 7 x64 driver as well, so compatibility should not be an issue
 
when you installed the drivers did you restart your system? i know evga precision and afterburner had a problem with detecting stuff if the system was not restarted after the 257.15 drivers were installed.. if so then you may have to wait for an update on afterburner for the new drivers..
 
ya i did restart.....was still installing updates and such before I installed Afterburner....anyhow, its bee on and off ~4 or 5 times atleast since the reinstall of windows
 
try overclocking the gpu.... i had this issue on my dual setup, and 20mhz on the core worked.
 
no difference, it typically runs at 752mhz core speed, which is 77 mhz above stock :p even a 10-20mhz boost didn't make a difference in the reading
 
probably something they broke in the drivers.. may want to double check it with evga precision.. its the exact same coding as afterburner just a simplified gui and see if the gpu usage shows up in there.. if it does then the problem is afterburner.. if its not then its most likely the drivers.. though i havent had a problem with the drivers on my gtx 260 and everything shows up in evga precision though ive never bothered to use afterburner..
 
ill have to find my download of Precision :) tried afterburner one night and never went back

im thinking somethings up with the driver, the more I place BC2 im now noticing alot of "flickering", that was not present on the last driver set....guess thats why they are called beta drivers(though I do love the lower load time, and the 10-15 FPS boost i get on the highest settings lol)
 
I just installed the newest version of Precision for my 480's and Im having the same issue. No GPU speeds are showing up. Core and Memory are all registering fine though. This is with the newest drivers installed.
