Ya not sure where issue is at, only thing i can maybe think of is when i reinstalled windows i copied my App Data folder back over, idk if precision has any settings it stores in app folder but ya. Had a issue before with a game when i did that so thought maybe it might be that. oh well, will mess around more tomorrow after work, gonna zzz now but ty for help man, will keep at it and see.

Ya no luck so far, only thing i can do rly is just use the idle.bat when not gonna be gaming and if i game i have to restart pc for it to go back to normal but id like to have it constant in games cuz im sure there a slight stutter when it has to crank up from action on screen or something that requires all of the GPU. Bitter sweet i guess lol.

Did you try using some of the older drivers yet?

Re:600 Series Downclocking & Throttling Fix 2014/03/29 10:51:28 (permalink)
I'm having the same "flickering" issues when running the "Force Idle.bat" file. This "flickering" basically turns my monitor all white, with no way to do anything. Luckily, I have the boost file hotkeyed to my keyboard, so I can run it without needing to restart my PC. Everything seems fine when the "Force Constant Boost.bat" file is running.
This issue started when I updated my nVidia drivers to 335.23 WHQL. When I do a system restore, and go back to the old drivers (I believe they are the 332.21 WHQL drivers) everything runs like it's suppose to.
 
I'm running 3 Titans is SLI with Windows 8.1 64-bit.
 
This is what's in my "Force Idle.bat" flie:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -forcepstate:0,8
"C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -forcepstate:1,8
"C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -forcepstate:2,8
 
This is what's in my "Force Constant Boost.bat" flie:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -forcepstate:0,16
"C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -forcepstate:1,16
"C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -forcepstate:2,16
 
Any ideas how I can get the "Force Idle.bat" file to run without the flickering?

Does anyone know how to create a single batch file that will toggle idle/boost states?
I'm adding them to my desktop context menu with Right Click Context Menu Adder. This method will prevent the cmd prompt from appearing at all! In case anyone's interested... here's the link.
askvg.com/right-click-context-menu-adder-free-utility-to-add-program-shortcut-in-windows-7-desktop-context-menu/

 
Navigate to your nvidiaInspector.exe directory. Open a new .txt file there. Paste this
@echo off

start "" "C:\Program Files\Nvidia Inspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -forcepstate:0,16 -setVoltageOffset:0,0,187500

exit
Edit the path so it points to your nvidia inspector.exe. Save & Exit. Rename it to "GPU Boost.cmd".
 
Create another new .txt file. Paste this
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\Nvidia Inspector\gpu boost.cmd" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing
Edit the path so it points to the GPU Boost.cmd you just made. Save & Exit. Rename it to "GPU Boost.vbs".
 
Follow the instructions on the context menu adder site to add GPU Boost.vbs to your context menu.
 
Rinse and repeat to add GPU Idle as well.
GPU Idle.cmd
@echo off

start "" "C:\Program Files\Nvidia Inspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -forcepstate:0,8

exit

GPU Idle.vbs
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\Nvidia Inspector\gpu idle.cmd" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

 
 Voila! That's it!

Hey Sajin, just now finally got around to testing this, works kinda. It idles down to 405 mhz, im assuming its a setting i need to change some where as my normal idle is 135mhz and when i hit the boost bat, it boosts up to 1291, and my normal boost is over 1500mhz, i think uh, 1525 or somewhere around there. So how do i tweak it to fit those normal idle/boost clocks? Im sure its obvious but ya idk lol.

405MHz is the lowest you can get it to idle when forcing PState 8 (idle) unless you change the PState 8 clocks to lower than 405MHz. To restore boost after using the idle.bat simply restart the display driver using nvidia inspector by creating another .bat file. "C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -restartdisplaydriver should do it.

Ya i manually changed the settings to make em idle at 135 and it works till i restart pc, so assuming no way to make it save during a restart on the force idle part eh? And ill try the display restart bat also.

Yes, there is a way... "C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -setgpuclock:0,0,135 -forcepstate:0,8 should do it.

Welp im back again with new issue...lol. I recently didnt have to use the bat files since pc seemed to finally auto downclock correctly once i exited a game but noticed now neither bat file no longer downclocks or boost when used, i havent reinstalled windows or changed anything. Clock stays 1291 ( not my max OC btw ) but difference this time is i know what program is causing it but it wasnt causing this problem not even hour or so ago and that is skype. 
 
Skype use to do this but it seemed to of fixed itself before but now its back to making my gpu usage high for some unknown reason, soon as i close skype it idles back down to 135. So i mean technically i dont need the bat files to work if i can figure out why skype is now causing this issue again, i checked for update and there was one so i updated but still no luck. Dont even think i fixed it before it just started downclocking right way.
 
So figure i try to use the idle.bat file i used before which i never got rid of and stays on desktop and checked the line of code when opened to make sure it matched and everything is good, quite confused to why it dont work so got any ideas this time lol? Maybe something in inspector i need to do maybe? Been awhile so little iffy on messing with anything in there.

I don't use the .bat files anymore as well. Reason for not using them is because they don't work correctly with newer cards. The newer drivers are most likely causing the .bat files to not work correctly for you if you're still running the same card. Make sure power management mode inside the nvidia control panel is set to adaptive under global settings. If you have power management mode set to prefer maximum performance your card will run at higher clocks speeds when skype is open.

Ya i double checked everything and just realized its not just skype for some reason. Skype, VLC, and even my razer synapse program all cause gpu to go up to 1291. And u probably right about the bat files not working because of newer drivers because nothing has changed.
 
So guess the question is why all of a sudden these programs make the gpu go up? Razer always auto starts with windows and gpu was never high, i was always on skype and wasnt high and i use VLC every day religiously and it was never effecting gpu, it was before but i had to turn off a setting, some gpu accel setting and instantly fixed it, that setting is still off but ya. Not sure what is going on now and quite confused to why it just randomly started effecting all these programs. Technically its not hurting gpu but it does make it idle at a higher temp which just urks me honestly and confused to why this even started now yesterday.

Give driver 347.88 a try to see if it makes any difference.

Well got a update for ya, i was looking for that program driver sweeper but came across i guess a new version of it called Display Driver Cleaner or something and so downloaded that and uninstalled current driver then ran that program/restarted then reinstalled current driver and all seems fixed now...Least so far anyway. Idk if i can post the link to program but ya, it seems to of fixed issue so far.

Re:600 Series Downclocking & Throttling Fix 2016/05/07 03:43:28 (permalink)
Alright so little bit of a update and post might be tad long but could help other ppl and make the bat files obsolite ( at least for downclocking, not keeping full throttle custom clocks ).  So sadly the issue came back and was like wth...So i been debating on installing win 10 but took the plunge since some games are win 10 only so installed it and got mostly everything setup and well...problem happened on win 10. Was quite confused as again i found out Skype, Razer Synapsese ( spelt wrong ) would make clock rise up. Sat there just thinking and googling and came across a article by luck that actually fixed my problem completely thankfully.
 
So here is the article i came across > http://pcgamesbeat.blogspot.com/2012/08/enable-power-saving-mode-on-nvidia-gpus.html
This instantly fixed my issue untill i rebooted but simple fix is after u do everything in that guide and make sure its idle at 135, Right click on Create Clocks Shortcut and go to Create Startup Task. Will ensure its applied when pc is rebooted/shutdown. Otherwise for some reason it only downclocks to 405mhz. And the way the Threshold works is say u open a program that uses the gpu slightly and u have threshold at say 10% and program uses 11, it will activate ur normal clockspeeds. 30% seems like a good number to trigger the clocks when starting a game but some might vary. 
 
So just posting this as info for someone to use and see since i know some ppl still rely on batfiles or have trouble with the downclocks. Never knew those features were in the Inspector so there ya go :p
 
P.S. Them 1080s though.....hypeeeeeeeeeeeee.
