Asus gtx 670 power consumption bug

[Nuvola84]

guys on every monitor software i tried my power consumption under load is 28-36% (gpu z, msi afterburner, evga precision x..) I am testing this videocard on an old system with coreduo e8400, 4gb corsair ram single channel and gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6 supporting pcie 2.0, explain me if is normal or not

 

 

I used unigine heaven 3.0 basic settings maxed to test it under load and i cant go above 110 mhz gpu clock and 200mhz memory clock

 

thx in advance for your time

Try fiddling around with different drivers, sometimes certain drivers won't communicate correctly with the GPU and keep it's clock low

Must be an issue with specific driver. Try other versions before getting worried.

Try different drivers as suggested... though I am wondering if the 670 is wasting cycles waiting for the CPU to catch up. Long shot but suppose its possible.

So you mean bottle-necking in layman terms?

 

I've had problems like this with AMD cards and it was always a driver issue.

That cpu is on the weak side for a 670
