Card is clocking wrong

[Domethious]

Hi i not long installed a new GT620 2 gig in my PC which is supposed to be running at 700 MHz clock but when i run E.V.G.A. Precision it drops to 405 MHz i have checked while running games and it stays at 405 wich is causing me problems

can anyone help?

what games you're playing? such drop in clocks are normal (for fermi based gpu) when the program are not too demanding on gpu. also what is your current driver?

if you are on idle, that's normal. all modernish gpus downclock itself when nothing demanding is present

Update to the latest 304.79 drivers. The 405 mhz bug is a well known issue with the 301 drivers. Use the clean install option.

Try to uninstall everything Nvidia, then reinstall the drivers using the clean install option.

Does restarting the game and/or PC fix the clocks?
