the Geforce 8800 GTS idling on windows wastes aprox 50 w I calculated
that's a total waste of energy and lot of heat, this gfx card sucks
so to save energy and heat I underclocked the card in the bios from 576 core 1400 shaders 900 mem to 285/700/450
that's is the half of all clocks, using those numbers the 8800 gts have the speed of a 8600 GT aprox , but I can't underclock the card further because high resolutions not worked ie 1920x 1440 ( grey screen )
if I need the full GFX power to play a game I launch EVGA precision and I put the card in original clocks
yet this card underlocked to half clocks wastes aprox 35 w idling ( I calculated)
so my question is this:
is there a way to underclock this card automatically to not waste so energy in idle?
