Just wanted to check - when the videocard downclocks, are you able to set clocks back up to previous levels manually without restarting? Mine downclocks and I can't reset clocks to higher levels until I restart the PC.

If this is the same problem you experienced, I'm glad to know it's driver-related and also fixed!

I cant clock it back up to stock without restarting.
 
Yeah, that's the same issue I'm having then. Thought the 259.32 fixed it but I was wrong. I was hoping Keys could tell us if that's the problem that the driver he's testing has sorted out, fingers crossed it is!
 
Currently using 260.52.
Didnt fix problem. still flickers and downclocks to 405.
GPU usage all over the graph.
 
So pissed at nvidia. I had 5850 with crossfire board before. Thought 460 sli is good deal/performance so went for it.
GPU kept downclocking in the game(BFBC2 and SC2)
Bought 3 monitors, ergotron monitor stand, 2 sli boards, 4 graphic cards(all fermi), new power supply, new memory and still having problem.
Now I'm stuck with sli board and 1 half working nvidia card.
Lost so much money selling off at used price.

260.52 unreleased driver is giving me more problem than previous drivers.

Why do you think that is? I'll give you 3 guesses. 😉
Hang in there. Nvidia is releasing a new driver very soon.

You bought all that stuff attempting to fix the issue or were you buying it anyway?
 
attempt to fix and problems i had with newegg.
Sold all my previous parts, xbox360, netbook, notebook so i had spare money to spend.
Waited 10 years to play SC2 so I wanted to fix the problem ASAP.

Ordered mobo,mem, vid from newegg and it got canceled due to mobo not in stock. But all 3 showed up month later.
I'm located in korea so I had to pay shipping and shipping back would cost me extra.
Tried to fix problem using those parts and sold them to friend after finding out real problem.
 
Wait for the new driver and let us know.

I would have thought after you bought all that stuff you would go back to the setup that worked fine for you or at least ask for help before you replaced all that stuff.
