Not quite the performance I was expecting...

I have been having issues with my GFX card for the past 2 days, so did a couple of quick checks and found the following:

That's on an 8800m GTX! And yes - it really is giving me 1Hz

I tried the latest laptop drivers off the nVidia webiste but no change. I'm going to do a standard driver uninstall, followed by a safe boot and try with the latest Dell driver (XPS 1730)

Anyone else got any other ideas - or know how it could have happened - was working beautifully :confused:
 
Only thing I can suggest is check with gpu-z see what info that gives, The 1 is just a score not frequency - assuming I am looking at the right item :eek:
 
Nah- the 1Hz is from the dxdiag grab (current display mode: 1900x1200 1Hz)

And just to have a real laugh:

Yep - thats a clock of 0 MHz and a Mem freq of... 0 MHz :eek::confused:

I'm not running any of the usual suspects - nothing that should interfere with the clocks :confused:
 
+1.

Check your drivers mate. If the screenie you provided is to be believed, they are't the latest ones. and make sure you grab the 64-bit ones!
 
Uninstall drivers, boot to safe mode and download and run drivercleaner pro or similar to clean ur old resident files away. Boot to normal windows and install fresh drivers.
 
I've been meaning to upgrade to Vista 64 for ages - but 5 months later my replacement disks still haven't arrived :mad:

The dirvers are showing up as as having an error in Device Manager:

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

Will do a quick google and then a full reinstall - the drivers were the latest ones from nVidia - I then reinstalled with the 'latest' ones from Dell (can't remember which ones were on for the screenie - probable the Dell ones - so probably about a year out of date :rolleyes:)

Just grab an ISO of vista 64bit and get it done with. You can get it from anywhere really, there's even links to it on MS's own website.

Don't forget, when you buy windows you buy the license to use it, not the CD it comes on.
 
you sure the gcard is getting power ? if its not a driver issue i would check yer pcie cable as ive had pcs boot in the past running without connectuing the powercable to tthe gcard, it normally runs the card at the absolute minimum levels ?
