it used to go in to idle mode i.e clock speed around 350 or so, but now it stays locked at the factory set maximum clock speed after i quit a game or app.

from the nvidia control panel, i set the global option to the recommended "adaptive" power setting.

any suggestions? i have a 660 2gig and it is about 8 months old.
