Here is nice guide: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?t=117633 to create a profile without any 3rd party tools.
I think when you exit CCC and start it as administrator (kill all the tasks of it and start the .exe manually as admin) you will also see a new option to control the clock speed settings that are normally not there that are then saved to a new profile. Or change the settings to run as an admin and reboot.
But could be that the general visibility of the desktop keep it above the critical threshold.I assume you mean on Windowed mode? let's test that
Let's see if creating a different profile works. Fingers crossed. If not back to square one.
But such GPU power management can look very random. If you keep tools like GPU-Z open you see what is going on when.
Yes, detecting changes in the clock speed of the GPU is possible for MP and adjust its timings accordingly. But that is a ton of work. Creating a good profile for MP is easier.
But maybe for fun I log this stuff. MP needs to run in elevated mode though (unless I am wrong here) to log that kind of information. But might help in general debugging in the future.
Please note that the GPU clocking also have impact on playback of videos. The GPU can get bored if nothing much happens on screen and when an action scene starts, micro stutters occur during changing of the clock speed up or later down again.
My personal preference is to keep the clock rate always to the max for MP. I can live with that bit of power consumption while I actually use MediaPortal. But that's just me.
