Have a eVGA 7800GTX Factory OC at 450 / 1200. Drivers are Forceware 77.77 and have RivaTuner 15.6 installed.

I've set my 3D Performance settings to 490 GPU / 1275 RAM. I ran the Hardware monitoring item within RivaTuner and noticed the following behavior.

Standard nothing running really except normal Windows apps and the RivaTuner Monitoring is showing ~ 275 CPU and ~ 1275 RAM speeds.

I go into BattleField2 and I see the following - The CPU Speed jumps to 529 ... RAM stays at ~ 1275. When I exit the game the graph in the RivaTuner Hardware monitoring shows the CPU goes from 529 ... steps down to 450 for a few seconds and then steps fully down to 275. The RAM stays the same speed.

Question -- Why is it jumping up to 529 MHz speed when I've only selected 490 ?

Anyone else seen this ?

Thanks!

I'm not sh*ttin you all ... that is what I am seeing in the RivaTuner Hardware monitoring when BF2 is running ... I just wondering why it shows that speed and not 490 as I've set it at ... is there something wrong in the RivaTuner monitoring ? Anyone else running a 7800GTX (any variant) with RivaTuner 15.6 ? BTW -- Don't know if it matter but I am at 1920x1200 RES in BF2. Also same step up in speed and step down in speeds occur when I go in to WoW also.

NOTE: I confirmed my 490 speed setting within the Forceware driver settings -- display settings, 7800GTX tab, etc also.
