I would like to underclock my eVGA GeForce 8800GT 512 MB when I am not gaming. It can idle at 59 C on a hot summer day. Since it's not being fully utilized with non-gaming / HD video viewing, I'd like to cool it down. The current default settings in Rivatuner show:
■core: 600 MHz
■shader: 1500 MHz
■memory: 900 MHz
My question is how much should each of these numbers be decreased? Are there set rules or optimal numbers? I'd still like my dual 22'' + 17'' displays to not lag. These screens didn't even lag much when I had an ATI Radeon X300 with Vista.
