Possible Cause for FPS loss (At least for me)
-
Hi All,
For awhile my install was working without issues. Silky smooth, all graphics up, etc. I am on a Mac Pro with Windows 8.1 installed and the workstation graphics cards, the AMD FirePro D300’s. This is/probably an issue with other AMD cards as well. Basically what I found is that recently my cards refuse to run in high performance mode. The clock speeds are 300 mhz when they should be 850+ mhz. Same with memory. When I can get them to run at full speed, the frame rates more than double, but the low activity of the gpu causes them to go back to low performance mode.
I ask that others try MSI Afterburner with its hardware monitoring to see if this is the same for other users, and to post their results below. And if so, maybe the dev’s know a fix to force high performance mode of the cards. I haven’t had an NVIDIA card for years, so I don’t know how their drivers work nowadays.
Anyways, just a thought. Hope we can all get our issues resolved. Thanks!

My gtx 670 nvidiacard is at idle 700 mhz running Falcon and only fires up occasionally. Forcing Max performance in the nvidia control panel forces it to run atleast at 920 mhz. Maximum in other titles are 1058 in 3D.

I’ve got two "Power Management’ choices in the nVidia Control Panel:
- Max Performance (selected);
- Adaptive.

Maybe it’s just an AMD thing where they’ve removed the option to force High Performance mode. Anyone else with AMD’s experiencing this?

amd video settings with new crimson drivers you are able to set in manual mode all values you want in overdrive settings, the only thing I notice with new drivers is in all reboots the fans start in automatic mode at 45% instead manual as I set.
