Title: [GPU-Z Test Build] Fix for cold bug on GTX 480
Post by: Stefan on May 12, 2010, 07:25:54 PM
"When testing cards at below -64°C (sic!) the NVIDIA driver gets confused and thinks the GPU overheats which causes a loss in performance.
When started with /fixcoldbug the attached GPU-Z build will increase the temperature reading that the NVIDIA driver sees by 65°C (it does not actually increase GPU temperature).
This change should result in stable benching at lower temperatures.
Please note that a warm reboot might not remove the change, powering off the system and back on will."
