    Hi all,

    I am facing a problem where my GPU is able to OC initially and eventually drops to 203 MHz after a few min of gaming. Anyone else facing this problem?

    I have updated my bios to A08 and my GPU is running the beta drive 305.67 beta. I have rolled back to a few drivers but to no avail.

    Sounds like a normal case of throttling, have you considered simply setting your GT 555M back to standard clocks?

    Strangely, when the clock gets stuck on 203Mhz, no matter what I set, it will throttle between 51 and 203. I will have to restart my com to peak back to the default 591 or further OC.

    Im wondering if an unlocked Bios will do me any good?
