Hello everyone,
I think i am having issues with my 8800 GTS 512mb g92. For some reason it is only showing 500mhz and 843 memory clock. Is something wrong, is this normal when not running any hard 3d applications... anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
 
It should be reading at least 520MHz on the core if I am not mistaken. The 843MHz on the memory sounds right as that is the actual memory speed but because it is DDR type memory which means Double Data Rate (it can send info on the rising and falling of the clock signal) so the effective memory rate would actually be over 1.6GHz which sounds right. What utility are you using to monitor the speeds?
 
According to XFX Website your clocks should be ...

http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product...ce™+8800&productConfigurationId=1731138

Memory - 1944 MHz (972 Mhz)
Core - 678 MHz
Shaders - Not sure, but my EVGA is 1674 Mhz as the default.

Not sure if there are or what the 2D clocks actually are for these cards, but that may be what you're seeing. The 8800 GTS 512MB may ramp up to the advertised clocks only when entering 3D. I'm using Vista myself with the Aero Desktop so 3D is active all the time on my setup.
 
Also include your part number and check your load temp for the video card. If it gets too hot it will slow itself down to help protect itself.
 
here is what GPUz is showing me

Only thing i can think of is maybe my power supply is not big enough for it (its 550w) but thats the only thing i can think of.
 
could be faulty from the factory. Have you tried turning it up?
 
PSU looks fine, it's running @ x16 and not @ x1. Looks like maybe you had the OC of your previous card set to 500MHz and it didn't reset that when you changed cards. You could do a clean driver installation using the driver cleaner method, or you could just try rivatuner to set it higher.
 
Yeah...as stated above, I would definitely try Rivatuner and see if you can increase the clocks..
 
so i did the driver cleaner and thought it fixed the problem, but after i checked it 10 minutes after reboot same issue. The card is downclocking its self. So i though well maybe if i drop my CPU overclock... sure enough took it down to default clock and the card is now at the normal clock. My question is Why is it doing this and is there a way to prevent it?

Thanks!
 
Does your motherboard lock the PCIe bus when overclocking? You can use ClockGen to see what your PCI/PCIe bus frequency is at when it is overclocked, it's an older program and probably only good for verification purposes. The PCI bus should be 33.33MHz and PCIe should be at 100MHz.

Also what FSB did you have it set at?
