need for speed 2015 pc is in windowed mode

Seeing as how the difference in clock speed amounts to about a 30% boost in speed (just from eyeballing the fps numbers) I'd really like to know if there's a way to fix this flaw in the (I assume) ATI drivers. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as wow performs decently at this clock speed and it cuts my temps from 80+C to ~60C. However this seems to downclock my GPU clock to about 275 (number gotten by lowering the clock speed till I started to lose performance in windowed mode, it could be 300 I suppose and I just didn't notice ). Is there any way I can adjust the 2d clock for my Gigabyte x800? My primary game is wow and I like to play it in windowed/maximized mode so I can use my second monitor without having to alt+tab out of the game. Using CSS video stress test at 1280x960 No AA/AFġ23 fps Full screen 82C (or it WOULD get that hot eventually, takes about 30 or so minutes from my experience with playing)ġ02 fps Windowed 62C (I actually haven't tested long term in CSS, but that's the heat from running WoW in windowed, if I change wow to full screen it immediatly jumpts to 70C)Ģ50/493 (underclocked to ensure there's no funny clock changes going on )Ĩ6 fps Full screen 65C (only the stress test, might of made it upto 70 if I had looped it or something)ħ6 fps Windowed 56C (same as above, only stress test, might of made it a few degrees higher)Īnyone have any explanation? I highly doubt the slightly lower fps caused this drastic an temprature drop but I suppose it could haveīelow is the origional topic.
