Why do people bother to hack the quadro drivers? They are not made for the geforce series.

In the past they often actually gave the best performance and stability on GeForce - hasn't been as much difference of late though.

I don't get it either. They are aimed at workstations more so but if people like them, who am I to judge?
This program/software is rather good kudos to the developer for it is free to use, i have had no issues with it and it saves the hassle of messing around in the windows registry looking for left over files. I think one of the recent updates to it automatically boots into safe mode.give DDU a run. fantastic program

Yer it does. I ran it for the first time (never felt the need before) and from massive BSOD's to no more errors. I should go and donate in truth for saving me pulling my hair out.

No probs and any time I look at that link I have this horrible image if Wagbo in my head 
The problem I posted a few pages back about my 780 not downclocking came back again. So I Googled and found a suggestion to go into Power Management in NV control panel and put it into Adaptive mode. So I did that and rebooted and it's downclocking again.
I'm asking if people can check their own and check what mode they have running. NV panel > 3D settings > Manage 3D settings > Global Settings > Power Management mode.

It should be in adaptive mode?
Thats the point of it being adaptive.. RE it adapts the clocks to the situation you are running in i.e desktop or 3d...
setting it to anything else i would imagine runs at full clocks.
It's not a setting I changed in the first place though. If I did then when I would have known what the problem was.
Caporegime
Mine is set to adaptive and I have never touched that.
. What are the best drivers to use?
Man of Honour
Whatever the latest are, simples.
Whether you need adaptive mode to get it to downclock or not seems to depend on a number of factors including whether your running 120+Hz or 60Hz, how many monitors are connected and what programs you have running, sometimes even stuff in the background can be making function calls to the rendering API that hold the card in one of the 3D power modes.

Its not a related setting as mines on prefer max performance and both my 780 ti's downclock to 324mhz when idle (1440p res)
