Read all the posts to get a better context but here's the summary.
Using CSS video stress test at 1280x960 No AA/AF
398/493
123 fps Full screen @ 82C (or it WOULD get that hot eventually, takes about 30 or so minutes from my experience with playing)
102 fps Windowed @ 62C (I actually haven't tested long term in CSS, but that's the heat from running WoW in windowed, if I change wow to full screen it immediatly jumpts to 70C)
250/493 (underclocked to ensure there's no funny clock changes going on
)
86 fps Full screen @ 65C (only the stress test, might of made it upto 70 if I had looped it or something)
76 fps Windowed @ 56C (same as above, only stress test, might of made it a few degrees higher)
Anyone have any explanation? I highly doubt the slightly lower fps caused this drastic an temprature drop but I suppose it could have
Below is the origional topic. Edited to change topic
Origional post:
Is there any way I can adjust the 2d clock for my Gigabyte x800? My primary game is wow and I like to play it in windowed/maximized mode so I can use my second monitor without having to alt+tab out of the game. However this seems to downclock my GPU clock to about 275 (number gotten by lowering the clock speed till I started to lose performance in windowed mode, it could be 300 I suppose and I just didn't notice
). This isn't necessarily a bad thing as wow performs decently at this clock speed and it cuts my temps from 80+C to ~60C.
Seeing as how the difference in clock speed amounts to about a 30% boost in speed (just from eyeballing the fps numbers) I'd really like to know if there's a way to fix this flaw in the (I assume) ATI drivers.
Thanks in advance
