they should be idling no matter what thats the way kepler is designed. fermi the same way too. my clocks go to 1150 in games 324 idle
Mine if I don't use GPU tweak to overclock further have a base clock of 1006 with boost clock of 1072. ASUS gave them this little overclock right at the factory from the start. Basically I wouldn't have to use GPU Tweak and do no overclocking at all, as they are already overclocked slightly thanks to ASUS. Standard specs are thanks to Nvidia base clock 980 boost clock 1033, and this is taken from Nvidia's own information on their site. Even without further overclocking thanks to GPU Tweak, my GTX 760's are excellent videocards for gaming.
Yep. It depends on what card you have too. Mine goes down to 135MHz for example. Also, you normally have 3 or 4 levels of downclock. My card can run at 135, 270, 535, 666 or the full 1072 as well as any boost clock. There are also a few levels of memory speed too. These levels are selected depending on GPU load by the bios. Tesla was also capable of downclocking itself, my old GTS 250 did it too. I think it's more to do with the bios rather than hardware.
I'm simply not gonna worry anymore when it comes to my cards, they're doing what I got them for so done deal, no harm done in my book. After what I went through over the course of a year with a pair of 2GB Radeon 7850's, I'm more than happy with these ASUS GTX 760's for gaming.
reading a lot of reviews currently, do you guys know the 760s have great FCAT readouts with very very few spikes, I 'll post a pic also in games x2 760s usually well beat the 780, I imagine moreso now after the 337.50 .. I wouldn't mind a couple 4gb 760s tbh, I had a nice time with my previous 760. Hilbert's FCAT readings from 760 sli review: check out the single 760 in second pic, smooth as hell, whereas the 780 has a good many spikes. (note this is before 337.50 driver release.)
me too Spoiler *though I've found a 780 deal, hope to go for it latest tomorrow night, I can't share it now (took me days to find it and it's the only one, but i'll share it once I make a move on it and get everyone's opinion.)
I will second that was a good upgrade for me at the right price from my GTX 460 SC the ACX version runs nice temps seem fine and quite not noticed much noise from it maybe due to my H100i in push n pull using four Corsair SP120L fans.
yes I like the one you have too, personally looking over various benchies (pre-337.50 to boot) x2 760s are a kinda mystery, you should see how they whoop gtx 780 at times. though x2 'gtx _60' gpus have always been rad, I had two 460s once. but yeah totally dig those 4gb versions.
If I had the cash now I would love to put a second in SLI but that's not going to happen atm as I need to upgrade at lest my CPU some point this summer then my PSU.
this summer will be a good time, hope to see some revised haswell 'K' cpus. my single 760 ran my games how I wanted anyways for sure.
BTW do you think the 4.7GHZ 8 core AMD is a worth while upgrade as I think im Bottlenecked by my CPU in thief noticed all four cores hitting 100% im hoping that cpu upgrade will do me for a few years.
