Does anybody know if you can set the Memory Low/Lower @ this Project without affecting the run Times ???

Seems to me I use do do this here & it didn't make any difference in run times but I can't remember if that's true anymore ... Thanks

If you lower the GDDR5 RAM frequency by say 10 or 20% it will have a minimal impact on the run times of tasks.

This has been demonstrated as improving stability of some cards. If you want to overclock, up the shaders (unfortunately linked to the GPU core freq. for Fermi cards).

Good luck,

Best I can do right now is my 2 GTX 590 Box's, have to shut down 3 CPU Cores to even run them or they lock up. They have 6 CPU Cores so at least I can run 1/2 of them anyway. They Quads are the same, unless I shut down 3 CPU Cores they lock up & I don't want to do that ...
