G73 Help!

Could someone please tell me what the default engine settings number is?

 

Its 5. No need for thanks.

 

Wait what?

I'm talking about the engine settings under the clock tab in the AMD GPU clock tool. It can't be 5

 

engine clock 699.99 (700)
memory 1000

why don't you just reboot,it'll revert to normal or even better hit restore default clocks button ?!?!

 

FYI please do not bump your posts 30 minutes after making a post, some measure of patience is required on a forum. People here volunteer their time freely to help you out.

And as a side note, it was 5 a.m. when you posted for a significant percentage of members.

 

Yes but when I reboot it goes to 299.97 and when I click restore default clocks it goes to 699.99.

So which one is right?

 

Do you have poweplan set to balanced or power saver? If so it is normal for it to be at 300 clocks - its a feature called powerplay, meant to conserve battery and lets the gpu run cooler - ideal for when youre not gaming. Set it to high performance and it will go to 700 - this is the power plan to use for gaming or you will take a large fps hit running 300 clocks.

 

Oh I get it.

Thanks for answering.

This clears that up, It's taking me awhile to get to know this beast

 

Sure, no problem. Just make sure you dont forget to turn on high performance when youre gaming so you dont wonder why your fps is so low ingame becouse you forgot to change the power plan . However when youre just surfing the web or watching movies i certainly recommend to turn the clocks down by changing the power plan to let it run a bit cooler, and if you run a uvd supported video, the gpu will switch to uvd profile clocks (500/1000) automatically anyway.

 

Haha, Funny thing is. When I played CSS with Entertainment mode I got a decent 60 FPS out of it!

 

I did that with DDO and also didnt notice it without turning on the FPS display - which instead of the min. drop of 31 with high performance was dropping to 21 on balanced .
