670 throttling

[Ribozyme]

Hello boys and girls.

 

I am the proud owner of a very nice asus 670 dc2 but now I've ran into a 'problem'. My card always used to boost to 1071 mhz while at stock. But since a week or so, it only boosts to 1058mhz stock. I haven't changed anything on my setup really. It is not the temperature for sure because she stays at 62-63 degrees and Kepler thermal throttling only kicks in at 70 degrees celsius.

Anyone a suggestion?

Hmm after a while it goes back up to 1071, it's like it needs to run warm first before going full speed :P

My 680 has to run at 1241mhz for a minute or so before it finally goes all the way up to 1254mhz. I don't know why but I don't really see it as a problem either.

It is in benchmarks going for top scores :p

When I run Valley, I usually just let it reach the top clock before I start the actual run. If you're running something which wont let the card warm up, then you can always download gpu-z and run the built-in render test until it's ready to go. I usually only have to wait the first time so again, it's a non-issue for me.
