Precision X clockspeed misreporting?

crimsonBZD · Mar 20, 2014

Hi, this is my first post at Tom's Hardware, however I've lurked these boards for years. Ya'll have helped me solve some of my worst computer problems, so now I post.

For all intents and purposes, act like I have no usable knowledge about any of this and I built this computer on a stroke a luck.

So, here's picture of my problem:

As you can see in this image, EVGA Precision X and RivaTuner show my clock speed as being 540mhz, which FurMark is reporting ~1200mhz.

I've seen my EVGA Precision X record it's correct speed before, unfortunately I'm too new to this program to really know what's going on with it, but I'd really like to get this problem fixed before I dive into overclocking these cards.

Now..... Are those frequencies at load? If fur mark is loading your GPU, the GPU will up it frequency. That is part of the new power consumption tech.

Yes every number here should be at load, furmark was running both gpu's pretty hard.

As a bit of an update, after restarting EVGA Precision X, it's now reading my clock speed at the 1200mhz while NOT under load.

Hmmmm.... Keep testing and let me know.

So far I've been able to band-aid the problem by reinstalling EVGA precision X. I opened up a game to test it, and when I did it went from an idling speed under 200mhz all the way up to ~1200mhz. Closed the game, precision X reported it was idling. Reopened the game and played for a moment, but when I closed it Precision X did not report the GPU as idling.

So it seems the problem is Precision X. I can loosely verify that although Precision X was reporting ~1200mhz, my fan speeds that I set on my fan curve would indicated the GPU was idling.

Bad kernel patch? Not that I would know how t fix it.

Honestly, I think this is coming down some sort of pebkac error. It seems there are these arrows in EVGA precision x, normal and boost clock targets, and when they dissapear the problem begins again.

If only I knew how to manipulate those arrows.
