Palit GTX285 always running at full load

[Vnix]

Before this, everything works fine. My card auto goes into 2D mode when idle and into 3D performance when I playing games. After installed some basic program and Vista update. After boot into Vista, the clock speed is always running at 648MHZ even idle. I try to restart comp and still the same and you can't DC or OC it. The only thing you can control is the fan speed. I am running on Vista Ultimate X64 and using the latest driver from Nvidia. Please help and sorry for my ENG. Thanks.

I've never been able to set seperate 2d/3d clocks in Vista, don't know how you pulled that off in the first place.

Use RivaTuner and follow Derek's guide to set scheduler events on hardware acceleration.

Well after fresh install I can do that... I can adjust the clock I want but after few updates it's out of control..... There's sometime... it will drop to 2d mode but very rare...

Enjoy Windows 7 then, since I switched from Vista 64 bit all I run is full 3D mode 24/7 lol the only possibility is to manually underclock when Im not gaming.

the last 2 sets of drivers have been screwing downclocking up. on a fresh boot it works but after some games or apps it will refuse to downclock anymore. I hate using 30 more watts and running higher temps for no reason other than Nvidia cant get their shit straight.

So you sure is the driver itself?

Are you running multiple monitors? The GPU throttling doesn't work when multi-monitor is enabled.
