    Well, i recently acquired a xfx 9800gtx+ xxx, and i have 2 issues that i cant resolve by my self, and i tried everything.

    One is that, the downclocking doesnt work, it always stays in the standar 3d clocks and it never changes. Dont kown if this is normals in this cards..

    The other problem is really strange, what happens is that: when i play a game, and the fan spins up, then after i finished playing, it doesnt go down again, so i have to do it manually using evga precision or the riva tuner software.
    Temps arent an issue.
    For example,let say: the card idle is at 40c, and the fan at 60%. When i play a game, the temps goes up to 65c and the fan at 80%, but then, when i stop and come back to the desktop, the temps also returns to the normals 40c but the fan dont.

    Im using vista 64 ult. and the lastest drivers-

    Thanks, and sorry for my bad english :)

    Sounds like a driver problem.

    When you installed the latest driver, did you follow the procedure below?

    1. Uninstall your current driver.
    2. Restart and boot into safe mode (F8).
    3. Run Driver Sweeper and maybe even CCleaner.
    4. Restart and boot to the regular desktop.
    5. Install the new driver.
    6. Restart.

    Have you thought about updating the BIOS on the card?
