Hey guys, a word of caution for those of you using the new 310.33 Beta drivers and EVGA Precision 3.0.3. I've been using the beta drivers for about a day as I liked the idea of additional FPS gains through software, however I was not impressed upon playing about 10 minutes of GW2. I'm sure this is just a bug with EVGA and maybe even just GW2, but I was astonished when I opened EVGA Precision. After about 10 minutes of GW2 my GTX680 was running a ridiculous 84c with the fan at only 36%. I feel really lucky I caught this so early, the fan didn't seem to be spinning up past 36% regardless of temp. Pretty insane, the highest I've ever seen the card while overclocking it was 74C. Typically the card throttles after 70C however the new drivers must be effecting how the GPU boost function works. I'm also worried to report my card is constantly idling over 10C higher than normal, between 42-46C. It's typically in the low 30's range which is near ambient for the room I'm in (78F). Not sure if this effects all titles and perhaps this is just a freak incident, but the situation is repeatable on my system with GW2 at the very least. All specs are in rig builder in my profile. Here's a pic of EVGA Precision 3.0.3 acting insane with the new 310.33 beta drivers. Look at that power percentage!
Edit: The text is hard to read, all values are blank in EVGA Precision except for Fan speed, GPU Temp and Power %. Power % is being reported as 40,225,672%. Kepler can sure take a ton of voltage, no wonder they are locking it down!
Mod edit: This appears to be an EVGA precision bug, NOT an issue with the 310.33 Beta
