I've been experiencing very average video performance of late, by average I mean my 7900GT is yielding similar framerates in Nexuiz as my 6600GT did in a slower machine.
I've sort of dealt with it but in a moment of intelligence 5 minutes ago it occurred to me that this started around the same time I added a couple of new drives to my machine. My PSU is rated at 430W and came with my Thermaltake case and I'm lead to believe that this isn't stunning power. Is there a way I can see how much load my PSU is under so I can figure out whether this problem can be solved by a new PSU or if something else is the matter.
Here is some output from mbmon, absolutely no idea if it's of any relevance but I figured it can't hurt.
Code:
[ sylvester :: cam ]-> mbmon -r
TEMP0 : 52.0
TEMP1 : 54.0
TEMP2 : 39.0
FAN0 : 1360
FAN1 : 1371
FAN2 : 19852
VC0 : +1.33
VC1 : +1.18
V33 : +3.31
V50P : +5.08
V12P : +11.61
V12N : -5.23
V50N : -4.07
It may be irrelevant bu nvidia-settings is reporting very wrong figures for my clock speed and thermal but nvclock shows the correct numbers. I've reinstalled the driver, I'm running 2.6.17 and I rolled back to 2.6.16 and same problem so it's not the kernel or driver at fault.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated
