Anyone know of software to disable gpu utilization in 2d mode? I have a 4870, an since catalyst 9.5 it's been annoying the hell out of me. The problem is every time I'm browsing online, and scroll down the page or resize a window the gpu fan spikes about 9-10%, sounds like a car revving it's engines as I flick the scroll wheel. I thought was the fan, silly me, but the gpu goes from 500mhz to 780mhz, which is probably why the fan kicks up. bringing me to my previouly asked question.
Mine routinely flits between the 500MHz idle clock and the 750MHz active when browsing and such, but I use CCC to set the fan manually. You only need two settings, really - one for gaming, one for everything else. A dynamic fan profile is ineffectual, as it always balances at one particular temperature and fan speed anyway; find the lowest fan speed you need to keep it ~55 degrees when browsing and set it to that the whole time, then crank it up when gaming.
Use Rivatuner to set a custom fan profile for your GPU. That, or you could re-flash the BIOS on your card to make the card spin up later.
