Why is Evga Precision reporting values so low?

looks good to me man . dunno what your talkin bout

Yeah. I was referring to the clocks on the left side of the page.  They are a bit less than half of slider clocks.  Also- its been a little laggy playing WoW on max settings when it used to play very smooth.  Not sure if that is related.

do the values go up when gaming ive noticed the values going from low to high since the new driver updates.

mark did you try Rivatuner

also check your settings for gpu with GPUz, it will tell you what you got what ever GPUz tells you, is what the setting is.

Has anybody figured this out yet?  Is it true nvidia put a power saving option in their new drivers that makes their cards throttle down under idle conditions?  And if so, Is there a way around this?  What is the point of EVGA Precision if it isn't going to do what it was designed for?  Please help!

it should be 1998, what does Rivatuner tell you guys?

Okay, I figured it out.  Yes, I guessed right.  Nvidia did put a power saving feature into their new drivers.  It may have started in the 179.** or the 180.** drivers. -I'm not sure, but it's actually not so bad as I feared it may be.  Even though the core clock frequency throttles down to 400MHz on my card, the shader clock to 799MHz and the memory clock to 297MHz, as soon as any load is detected, the GPU immediately bumps back up to my personally set specifications and remains there as long as there is a load detected and thereafter for an additional 30 seconds. 

I had Far Cry 2 running while I tried the following:  I used Alt+Tab to minimize the game and then opened EVGA Precision to check out the clock frequencies with it running.  And finally, they were where they were supposed to be, but after exactly 30 seconds of having the game minimized, it throttled back down to those very mild 2D settings.  You can see on the graph how when I clicked to apply a new setting, it would jump up to where a GTX 260 should run, but then again after 30 seconds, it throttled down.  So there you have it.
