    Hi Guys

    I have recently had a problem where my graphics card clocks are at full all the time. I have a GTX 560Ti and until recently it always put my clocks low when I wasn't in game but since I turned my comp on this afternoon the clocks wont go back down no matter how many reboots.

    I've rolled back the drivers but it hasn't made any difference.

    Help.

    Edit: found out what was wrong, annoyingly it was the second monitor I added an hour before and I geuss I hadn't noticed the temp rise. any reason why running a monitor would cause an 800 MHz increase?

    Are you overclocking with any third party software like Rivatuner or Afterburner?

    AFAIK its normal for 560 Ti cards to stay at 3D clocks when two displays are hooked up in it. My Asus GTX560 Ti DCII TOP does that and solved it by hooking up the secondary display to a cheap GT220.
