P5 ?!

Both my maxwells drop to P2 ..which sucks. But i just rectify it using nVidia Inspector The only downside to this is you must run it every boot, as opposed to a custom BIOS ...however, it's just a dbl click on the desktop, as you can save the settings as a shortcut.

I never reboot, well I did once in 2009 ...ahem! anyway so it's not a huge issue. I think if I were booting everyday i'd probably look into BIOS flashing the GPU's ..I love automagic
