How to Force Max clock speeds (NVidia Cards)

[335th_GRAthos]

Please, any good idea on how to?


Beta patch, flying over London, I noticed for the first time that the GPU clock speed changes !

Inside the cockpit, the GPU works at full speed (look at the GPU-Z information, Core, Memory and Shader clock)
THIS IS PHOTO PATCHED (ver. beta 13915) 3840x resolution, move sliders to the right to see the game

External view, the GPU works at low speeds !!!! (look at the GPU-Z information Core, Memory and Shader clock)

Activation went well.
However at the stock settings, 'Medium'. It's a lag fest.
Hopefully optimization will make things better.

AMD Phenom X4 955
Gforce 570 OC
6G 800 mhz ram.
All settings stock 'Medium
Well time for an update.. I found out why I was having the BIG problems with Lag. I bought a new GeForce 570 OC Vid Card, thinking man this thing is gonna SMOKE! Well imagine my dissappointment when it barely ran on stock low settings.....

After a number of frustrating hours of 1 frame per 2 seconds, I came across something I hadn't seen before. The software with my new card comes with a type of throttling function used for saving power. It was set to frugal mode rather than performance mode. I flipped the switch and away she went.

I've got everything maxed out now, I've flown for a few hours and she's a thing of beauty

All the best to Oleg and his fine Crew

dose the "power management mode" in the Nvidia control panel not do that when you switch it from the default "adaptive" to "prefer maximum performance”

I use "adaptive" myself

PS. how are you finding the Nvidia GTX570 in game? (not in sli) as i only have a GTX275

Thanks for the tip regarding the NV drivers, I will give it a try.

GTX570 is great!
It is the minimum card you should have for this game looks like it.
Still, resoltuions are rather moderate, 1280x is a good way to fly, beyond that you are putting yourself into the dark zone...

For full tests look at my lengthy post (with screenshots) at that page:
