Folding gpu usage

I'm folding on a GTX 460, and after a while my gpu usage starts to do this, why?

That is bizarre but I'm gonna say it's because the 460 is an older card and the folding servers can be packed so it could mean a higher bandwidth and that may be stressing your card to the max.

Are you sure the gpu is stable? any overclocks? you practically got a seismograph going there..

Are you sure it's not throttling/overheating? It seems to be hovering around 90*c, not particularly 

nice.

 

Load does vary abit.. and you can have drops when making checkpoints and such, but your graph 

is just one big mess.

i cant tell wtf that is

can someone explain

i want to learn

Thermal throttling ? Don't know what the max temp for the 460 is, but 88°C is on the high side, fan speed also goes up to 100 % there at the end.

I stopped folding, but I'll pick it up again later tonight and update you. Yeah I had a bit of an overclock, and I backed it down a bit now, we'll see how if fares later.
