GtX 680m performance issue

[blair]

hi all having some issues with lower frame rates in games and low benchmark scores on a GTX680m rest of the specs are in sig below.

Got a log from GPU-Z when running heaven 3.0 and the issues seems to be when at 100% the core clock hovers around 400mhz compared to the 875mhz its set to is it maybe thermal throttle?

But why has it suddenly started doing it?

Would you happen to know what kind of changes occurred around the time this started happening?

Also have you tried using the full fan speed and then benching to see if there are any improvements? Your temps also look rather high, mine reach a max of around 73, thats with some heavy OC. I am on the latest drivers with a P370em with gtx 680m sli and I havent been experiencing any problems with it.

Nonetheless I would probably try doing a clean driver install, as I think it may be switching over to the Intel GPU.

It's been fine for 2 years only change point is I knocked it off the sofa but I've gone over the laptop with a fine tooth comb and no damge, cooler is seated fine fans running cpu is fine. Tried running fans full speed made no difference.

tried a clean driver install with the latest driver and DDU? Is the notebook set to performance mode? Also before you do a clean driver install, go to the Nvidia control panel and reset everything to default and see if it makes a difference.
