[SOLVED] GPU core clock stuck

[Mistikei デーモン]

Hello,
I have my very old and very low GPU GeForce (2gb)820M (shame on me) and now, it's core clock stuck @162 Mhz. smb knows what to do? THX in advance.

Check the energy settings of your laptop and see if there's an update for your videodriver.

I looked on Nvidia controll panel, and set it to maximum performance. But it didn't help.
PS: It says 0,9250V, Laptop on maximum performance too.

He said Power Settings, not GPU Setting. Control Panel -> Power Options -> High Performance

it's in 'Post Scriptum' :)

Sorry, missed that >_<

It's ok, I appreciate every help :)

Run app called GPU-Z and select the NVIDIA GPU from the drop-down list there.
Then run a stressful App like Unigine Heaven and have GPU-Z left running, load up Heaven and let that run in Windowed-Mode and then run it for a loop. Then check GPU-Z for your NVIDIA GPU loads, clocks, temp, etc.

Also, most Laptops require you run off AC power in order for the CPU/GPU to function at their higher clocks as well.

Ok gonna try :)

Here the links if u need:

I already have GPU-Z, and now I'm downloading heaven, with my slow internet :) TY
PS: AH SNAP, I'm downloading it from original page, is that a problem? If so, I will download via your link.

Downloading from Unigine.com is always slow, cause they limit the download speed, that is why I linked a good mirror site such as MajorGeeks; but hey, whatever gets you the app is fine.

Thx Didn't know this, but I mean like with my 300KB/s downloading speed, it doesn't affect it lol.
BTW. on Fallout 4, (tweaked .ini files, and even lowered reso.) I had from 35 fps, 5 fps, so I guess, (not a IT) there is fault in software.

[Mistikei デーモン]

I couldn't do the whole test cuz it was unwatchable, 1-3 fps

Core clock 162Mhz (standard is 625, 950 OC)
Memory clock 900Mhz
Temp max 56°C
Max Vram +-800MB
on extreme settings 1366*768

I don't understand what kind of performance u are expecting to get here; nothing you can do to make that system run Fallout 4. An 820M GPU is no better then most Intel HD GPUs.

Gaming = it needs to be at least an x60M series or higher. And given how old the 800M series is; then none of those would run modern games very well; unless perhaps you had 860M or higher.

Stick to older Drivers too, older GPUs such as that series, you should be on 365.19 WHQL or so... newer ones will not help those older GPUs.

Download and run DDU and wipe all GPU Drivers from the system; Intel, AMD, NVIDIA...


What CPU do you have? Cause that would determine which Intel HD GPU you have, and thus which Driver to use for that.

I said I tweaked .ini files of Fallout, and playing on custom resolution, so 35fps, isn't problem and I know that this is not gaming gpu. Btw. people are playing on worse cards than this one. So it's not problem I'm dealing with now.

I only said, that there must be problem on GPU software, or something cuz it went down from 625 Mhz to 162 Mhz.

It's i3-4005U but it doesn't matter if there is problem with GPU.
