My GTX570M is stuck at 525mhz no matter what

Hello, I have a weird problem. My GTX570M is stuck at the default 525mhz stock.

I have a barebone MSI laptop, and when I use Afterburner to overlock even to the usual 575 (found in not barebones) the clock shows correctly on GPU-Z that it is not indeed overclocked (above 525 mhz) but ALL benchmarks give me the same result between 750mhz and 525mhz and the sensors tab on GPU-Z still shows that it's 525.

When not using 3D the gpu is at 75hz or something and when an intensive application requires it it clocks to 525 but never exceeds that.

It's very frustrating, any help?

 

The barebones is stuck in the P1 state as there is no turbo button. You need nvidia inspector to overclock.

 

Thank you so much, downloading it now.

 

If you create a clock shortcut and place it in your startup folder it will boot with your clocks every reboot.

 

Thanks so much it worked! But another question, my idle clock seems 525hz now, how can I get it back to 75hz?

Can I ONLY instruct it to max to 575 but still idle at 75?

 

That's strange, my idle clock was 50mhz once I activated it....

If you really cant get it to work then experiment with what clocks you want to run with nvidia inspector and then buy svet's video bios editor and flash those clocks to the card (to the P1 state remember) and then it will always run at the clocks you want and behave like stock.

The other advantage that program lets you do is use the higher core voltage and overclock even further.
