7800gt core mhz

I just swapped out my 7800GT for a Gigabyte GV-NX78T256V-B 7800GT. Why is my core default at 275Mhz? in Vtuner2 and Riva tuner? I thought it should be around 400? I may be being dumb lol. The memory is 1000Mhz which is right. If I hit smart tune in Vtuner2, the core goes up to 405 Mhz.

It has two modes. One for 2D, and one for 3D.

The 2D mode is what you are looking at. Thats 275MHz. In 3D it runs @ 400MHz.

Ah thanks sutyi. So it will automaticaly hit 405 when a 3d application is run. The smart tune box when ticked, clocks it at the set values regardless of 2d or 3d mode? :confused: lol, I did read the book but it's half a page and brief at that.

When you oc' your card with an application from the manufacturer, or with a 3rd party app. you just simply set your 3D Clock to a higher value.

With CoolBits you can adjust the 2D clocks to a lower level, for a colder & quieter operation. :)
