So i've had my asus gtx580 matrix for a while now and i'm very happy with the performance (at stock it does EVERYTHING i need it to do, even with my 2 monitors) anyways i've been Folding @ Home more recently, and i want to try to squeeze more PPD out of it.
Now this card come with the software "Asus GPU Tweak" but the problem is that i know F@H mostly relies on the shader clock (which you can't change in the program. So i also have MSI's Afterburner, but with that program i can't control the fans on the card (which is something i would like to do) -- so what should i use?
next question, voltage... now with this card its 1 extra step/thing to think about because there are button on the card itself to raise the voltage of the card, should i use that? or just the programs ? or both?
next thing i have observed is that when i OC the card (which i did a few months ago, just messing around) i saw that after folding for a while the card would suddenly stop working to its full potential?!?!?? NO errors, no crashes just lower temps and a HUGE DROP in ppd, its almost like it throttled itself back...a lot and when that happend i usually had to reboot to get it working normally again (but this NEVER happens when the card is at stock, no matter what i throw at it) so umm, why is this (is it something to do with a 3d and 2d mode?) and how do i FIX it
Thanks in advance for the help guys , much appreciated
