Hi,
If anybody has some decent experience please can you tell me. I'm having some issues! Comment if you do have some expertise,
Thanks,

Its automatic.

iaminneedofhelp · May 15, 2014

Nah... I mean it's having issues in terms of not working properly

iaminneedofhelp :

How have you determined it wasn't working?

13thmonkey · May 15, 2014

symptoms would be really really helpful right about now, and while you are at it, specs and temps under load and idle.

iaminneedofhelp · May 15, 2014

Ok... Here's my problem. I will get back to you with specs later. I am using nVidia's GPU Boost 2.0 and it is getting up to 60C but it's only on 99% load. It says that it can boost upto 80-90C before it starts throttling so whats the issue here?

13thmonkey · May 15, 2014

it may have hit it's power limit

Eggz · May 15, 2014

You may also have good cooling. Are you sure you just aren't showing off?

iaminneedofhelp · May 15, 2014

Hmmm.. 1) What do you mean by hit it's 'power limit'?
2) Maybe so but it's meant to boost it up over 100% so the temp should be able to increase to 80C even if I did have decent cooling?

13thmonkey · May 15, 2014

and this is why we need specs and settings, what is the power limit you have set on your nvidia control panel?

Eggz · May 15, 2014

iaminneedofhelp :

GPU boost will just let the card stay at 100% until it reaches a certain temperature. You won't ever see the GPU usage go above 100%.

Can you tell us the following things, please (I'm listing everything even though you did tell us some of it):

CPU and clock speed (overclock or not)
GPU and clock speed (overclock or not)
RAM and clock speed (overclock or not)
CPU Cooler with other cooling (e.g. fans)
Case
Motherboard
Power supply
Anything else you think it relevant

Kekoh · May 15, 2014

Wait... so you WANT it to run hotter? That's not how it's supposed to work.

If it's at 100% usage and in the 60s... that's better then being 100% at 80C.

Eggz · May 15, 2014

Kekoh :

Right! That's why I asked if he's just showing off that he has good cooling :lol:

13thmonkey · May 15, 2014

I take it he is trying to say it is at full blast at 60C, so why can't the clocks go up... the answer to which is power setting in gpu boost. If the clocks went up enough he might only be a 90% which give headroom for when you need it.

Kekoh · May 15, 2014

Actually, the clock speeds are probably not going up because they are already maxed. Raising the power limit alone won't increase clock speeds, you have to raise the clock speeds yourself (overclocking).

nikoli707 · May 15, 2014

99% is 100%. unless the card hits its power limit or the temp limit, it should hold a p0 when fully stressed. not all games or programs will cause the card to stay in p0 and many back down to p1 then p2 power states to be efficient. if you want the card to hold a certain clock in the p0/p1 states, you need to get a custom bios or use kepler bios tweaker to disable the crappy boost 2.0 altogether.

use msi afterburner beta 19(or latest beta) and watch the hardware monitor to see how close to the power limit and temperature the card is getting. a stock clocked card shouldn't need any power level % tuning at all though

iaminneedofhelp · May 16, 2014

Don't worry about it guys I fixed it! I redownloaded it cause I think it must have been a glitch or something. Cheers

ok you can check this tutorial it will explain you how it works
