Leadtek Winfast 6800 GT TDH - wrong default clock speeds?!

For some inexplicable reason my card started defaulting to 367/1050.

I tried removing and reinstalling the drivers and coolbits, but it's still the same. If I set it to 350/1000, it warns me that it's not the default setting, and it puts it back to 367/1050 after the next reboot.

It's a good speed and all, but I only want it to OC when I tell it to!
BTW, I'm using the latest Nvidia drivers and XP Pro sp2.

any ideas??

 
Yes. Many card manufacturers clock their nVidia boards faster and slower than nVidia's recommended speeds.
 
It's strange though, because I've had the card for 2 months and it just started happening after I upgraded my cpu,mem, and motherboard.
 
What kind of motherboard? I have an MSI 8KN Neo and the board overclocks the video. MSI has a hidden bios feature called NV/ATI boost, which was turned on by default (at least it was on by default when using the 1.5 bios). Caused my 400/1000 6800 to run at 428/1180 until I discovered the problem.

Good luck.

Nessiism - Yep, It's a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum - that must be it then (NV Boost feature.) Another feature I noticed on this board is that it runs at 200.9 MHZ, even though it tells you at bootup that it's at 200.


Otispunkmeyer - actually, I ended up replacing the big copper cooler with an nv5 - it was idling at 59 degrees, even with the big copper thing... now it's at about 54-55 degrees.

thanks for the info
Mike
