Q: |
PowerStrip Utility v3.45 reports the core/memory frequencies of ABIT Siluro FX5800 are 300/600, according to the product specification they should be 400/800, how to set it? (Siluro FX5800 DOTH, Siluro FX5800 DOTH Deluxe) |
A: |
NVidia FX5800 features "2D mode" and "3D mode". The former
is with core/memory frequency 300/600 and the latter is 400/800. The graphic
driver will apply 2D mode (300/600) by default for power saving purpose and
automatically switch to 3D mode (400/800) while playing 3D games. You could
manually enable the 3D mode by below two methods to check the core/memory frequencies
of 400/800.
[Method 1]
- Installed the Graphic MAX utility which is included in the graphic CD-Title.
- Restart your system.
- Open ABIT Graphic Max Utility then close it.
- Right-click the Windows Desktop and click Properties. Click Advanced button
in Settings page.
- Left-click "GeForce FX 5800" then click Clock Frequencies tab
to enter. Click "Allow clock frequency adjustments" and click "Settings".
- Select "Performance [3D]" and click "Apply" to finish
the Settings. You will see the core/memory frequencies are 400/800 MHz.
[Method 2]
- Click the Taskbar icon of PowerStrip menu. Move the mouse to "Performance
profiles" then click "Configure…" to enter.
- Click "Advanced memory timing" then Select "Performance [3D]"
and click Ok.
(If you found the problem can’t saving Engine/Memory clock are 400/800 in
Performance [3D]
, that is PowerStrip v3.45 issue, don’t worry.)
- Click the Taskbar icon of PowerStrip menu. Move the mouse to "Options..."
then click "Adapter
information..." to enter.
- Scroll thru the list of "Diagnostic report" to see the Memory/Engine clocks
are 800/400MHz.
We suggest with Method 1 to validate core/memory
frequencies of ABIT Siluro FX5800. |
