Hello, lately, I have been getting problems with my Dual 8800m GTX's SLi Setup in my Sager NP9262, they have been underclocking for no reason and won't go higher than this, even during gaming and using GPU-Intensive app's such as 3DMark 2006: GPU Core Clock: 275.0 MHz, GPU Memory Clock: 301.0 MHz, Shader Clock: 550 MHz. And it has been getting annoying, I already reformatted and reinstalled the stock drivers (ForceWare 174.90) that came with the Laptop's Drivers and Utilities DVD, and curiously, the downclocking issue disappeared as soon as I enabled SLi and the laptop rebooted, but once I rebooted for a second time, the downclocking issue came back. I have tried several fixes such as changing the "PerfLevelSrc" registry key to 3322 and 2222, along with other keys that are related to PowerMizer (they are in stock settings as of right now, I just re-installed the Stock Drivers again after having cleaned some more with Driver Sweeper and CCLeaner), but the downclocking issue is still there (curiously, the clocks went to what they are right now (see above), but it seems like that the cards think that those frequencies are the Max 3D Performance when I installed an "OverrideMaxPerformance" registry key earlier (no longer there after the driver reinstall)... I wonder if there is a fix to this issue, since gaming / general graphics performance is pretty poor right now, really low framerates even in games such as Half-Life 2 and Portal, and a score of 9300 in 3DMark 2006 (with SLi Enabled), so, I wonder if this is a known issue and there is a fix to it, it is pretty annoying that nothing can seem to fix the downclocking issue so far... Thank you!
