Probably best to include "use threadsafe exit calls in application code" in this discussion again, for completeness.

Hi,

I have another Gianni-task for this GTX 480 using windows-xp and gtx480 with nvidia-driver 290.36.
At this moment running more then 67 hrs and ready for almost 85%.

I become desperate about this>>

Stop running gpugrid????

I did not find the performance mode in the the NVIDIA Control Pannel. One of my systems downclocked twice in the last two days. Drivers are 275.33 and the card is a GTX 570. When it happens, the card always goes to 405 MHz.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

skgiven:

The system with the most common problem is http://www.gpugrid.net/show_host_detail.php?hostid=117970

The XP system is running great and making me think I need to put the GTX 580 in the XP system and run the 570s on my Win 7 systems.

thx

I am seeing downclocking only on GPUGrid tasks. I have two Seti tasks running at a time with no downclocking but as soon as I let a GPUGrid task on, it downclocks. I have restart the computer to reenable the full usage of the card.

Running Win7 x64, Galaxy GTX560Ti overvolted to 1.025 V to allow overclock to 918 MHz on the core. Running the 280.26 drivers. When it downclocks, it goes to 405 MHz on the core.

This was happening with other projects like Primegrid, Seti, and Collatz. I have recently allowed some Primegrid units and they have fixed the downclocking. The opti-aps on Seti fixed the downclocking there. (You may want to talk to Jason to see what he did to fix the downclocking for Seti.)

As I let my systems crunch 24/7 I used FermiBiosEditor to fix the downclocking of my 460's.

All appears to be well with the crunchers now. The Win 7 systems are set for Performance in the NVIDIA drivers and I have not seen them downclock in that configuration. The WinXP system does not appear to have the issue at all. Crunch on and thank you

Good stuff in this post my 570 was downclocking constantly* so I followed skgivens advice and "NVidia control panel, change from "Adaptive" mode to Max Performance" i did it in vista. I left it on over night before posting and so far so good. My 460s on xp dont have the same problem, tho one is soon to be upgraded.

All:

This workunit http://www.gpugrid.net/workunit.php?wuid=3409883 downclocked multiple times. Has anyone else had issues with these units? The NVIDIA driver is set to performance. Nothing else changed on the system.

Ideas are welcome.

All:

Big problem with this work unit. It immediately downclocks my GTX 580 to 405MHz.
