FreeFly sounds good, did you look in bios for speedstep and other power management options in bios and in os to see nothing is limited >? and how did you setup x-2 ..audio.. config. thread scheduling, is it set to 0 or 2 >? ..multy processor engine is enabled >?

thread scheduling = 2
multi proc engne = enabled
 
bios i can't check right now ... i'm not in the studio right now ...

I read that someone had success by moving it to the PCIe 4x slot from the 16x. Worth a try if you can.

Thanks gustabo!
 
That one sells for 32 EUR on amazon. Definitely worth a try!

FreeFly: you did install the x-2 patch >?

I came across this "old" thread which you might find useful:

just disable the video adapter in device manager.the windows default controller will not throttle for power saving.

There is also the powermizer switch, but it never worked all that well for me. Not nearly as well as Device Manager > Display Adapters > Nvidia (right click and choose disable)...

The monitor will still work, but not with the NVidia driver.

Well, I must live in a magical land. I have the Nvidea GT220 and never experience any of the issues being discussed here.
My specs are below.

Same for me Strat. I have a few GT 300's and a GT 9400. I did see some weird anomalies but reinstalled using custom NVIDIA options. I also disable two of my NVIDIA services which don't need to be running.



Never had any problems on any of my machines.

Hi. I tried this. This worked nicely with my old DAW where I had the same problem but much more severe. The default windows driver gave same resolution for a single screen.
 
However, this time the onboard + default driver option is a no go. Poor resolution + I need 2 screens ...
