Unable to overclock GeForce 670

NVIDIA driver: 310.19

This card is factory clocked at 1000Mhz.

In linux, it is stuck at 705Mhz (under load, max performance).

I am unable to overclock this.

Is there a work around here?

Any input is appriciated.

Re: Unable to overclock GeForce 670

I think that information that the nvidia driver is reporting is incorrect... I get better performance on Team Fortress 2 on Linux than Windows yet the driver shows on "Performance Level" 2 and 3 the "Graphics Clock" is 705 MHz and memory at 3004 MHz but on Windows I see higher "Graphics Clock" 1019MHz - 1228 MHz

While I think "Performance Level" 2 is correct... 3 isn't

I have a MSI GeForce GTX 670 Power Edition OC

I don't do overclocking

The nvidia devs know about this, the display in nvidia-settings is wrong, but your card actually is at the frequencies it's supposed to be.
