OK... as long as it's normal..... but it still annoys me. I want the thing running at a constant speed and wish I could turn that 'feature' off.

Why? If the card doesn't need to be fully utilized, downclocking will reduce heat, noise, power consumption and in theory, should help prolong the life of the card.

As mentioned, the gpu is waiting for the cpu to play catch up so it does not need to be working hard at that moment in time..

Because I don't want inconsistent FPS associated with waiting for the GPU to ramp up again.
