[QUOTE="doveman, post: 747196, member: 67412"] Yeah, I realise that in single display mode the VDDC current is lower than in Dual display mode and I probably didn't present my question very clearly. You say that the GPU has to do more work in dual display mode, yet it stays at 0% almost all the time, whereas in single display mode it's all over the place, up to 44%, and I also don't get why the clocks are going up and down all the time. It seems that MP is causing the card to keep switching between 2D and 3D state, which doesn't seem right. I'm not sure if the card has a low-power 3D mode plus a full-power 3D mode (as well as the 2D mode). In dual-display mode the core clock is pretty much fixed at 450Mhz, whereas in single display mode it jumps from 250Mhz right up to 800Mhz at times, which also doesn't seem right. EDIT: Actually, I have to correct the above. The Core clock only changes between 250 and 500Mhz. The Memory clock switches between 150-300-625-1250Mhz (not necessarily in that order). [/QUOTE]
