My 6800 ultra reports a power problem and reduced performance on a soft
boot. Cold boot works fine; card is running at 1100 MHz. I've confirmed that
after a soft boot it's running at 500 MHz after receiving the power warning.
I've tried two different power supplies (430w and 480w) and both report
acceptable readings in the bios. (ASUS P4C800 Deluxe) (Latest bios).
I can't figure out why a soft boot would change the power output. EVGA says
to RMA the card, but I don't think it's the card. Can I safely change the
"AGP VDDQ voltage" in the bios setup without causing problems?
Does anyone know where I can find detailed information about adjusting power
settings in the bios without cooking stuff? I'm thinking that some bios
setting is not being reset on a soft boot?
Far Cry seems crash prone when the card is running at 1100, with the video
totally "fritzing", especially around the water? I've loaded the latest
patch from Far Cry but I'm still having problems. I've played the game
while the card is running at 500mhz for over an hour with no problems.
(actually I can't tell much difference in the game, it still looks great!)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Pentium 4 GHz

I've never seen the card temp over 60°c
