MSI GTX 680 stuck at 324 MHz

[Dat_Wasp]

Hi all,

I recently got 2 MSI GTX 680 4gb cards and an sli bridge for free. However, when I put it in my system I found that one of the cards was working great, while the other is stuck at idle speeds.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I understand that these are rather old cards, but I don't have anything better than this.

Things I have already tried:

• Flashing the vBIOS
• downloading older drivers
• downloading newer drivers
• disabling and enabling in task manager
• switching PCIe slots
• Overclocking
• messing with power plan options
• only using the one card

I've tried everything I could find online. Any help is appreciated.

 

Specs:

• Motherboard: M5A97 R2.0
• CPU: fx 8350 @ 4.0Ghz
• RAM: 2x8 gb PNY DDR3 @ 1600Mhz
• GPU(S): MSI GTX 680 4gb
• PSU: 850w Thermaltake

Is SLI enabled, does the games in particular support SLI?

Furmark only tests 1 GPU at a time.

I helped someone in a thread where undervolting the gpu then returning it to normal actually fixed its behavior. have you tried tuning voltage down yet?

It is still stuck at idle speeds when running furmark when it is the only gpu in the system
