Setting applications clocks is not supported

Reply

Hi everybody, I just got 2 EVGA GTX 1070 FTW cards. Everything works fine except that I am not able to overclock the cards. When I try to use the ''nvidia-smi ac'' I get the following message: 'Setting applications clocks is not supported for GPU 0000:01:00.0.' I have driver version 375.66 installed as well as CUDA 8.0. I have Ubuntu 16.04. Anyone has any ideas? I have searched for many days to find a solution but coudn't find something that works for me. Thanks a lot in advance.

Are u using ssh or direct access? (must use 2nd) You can not overclock without powermizer in xorg. You need to use coolbits. [code]nvidia-smi[/code] was ment to use lower clocks that stock but you can query for supported clocks: [code] nvidia-smi -q[/code] if u want to overclock you need to use presistent mode (demon) coolbits and nvidia-xconfig [code] nvidia-persistenced --persistence-mode #first run deamon nvidia-smi -pm ENABLED #2nd enable persistenced mode nvidia-smi -pl 130 #limit TDP if u want [/code] to run coolbits all GPU must be seen in nvidia-setting by xorg, if not : [code]nvidia-xconfig -a, --enable-all-gpus #this add every screen for every gpu to xconfig.conf[/code] now we can run collbits [code]nvidia-xconfig -cool-bits=28 #now u can control core & mem clocks and termal setting in xorg.[/code] use this from console or make script if u want to auto overclock (can use crontab): [code] nvidia-settings -a "GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=value" nvidia-settings -a "GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=value" [/code]

You can not overclock without powermizer in xorg. You need to use coolbits.

nvidia-smi

was ment to use lower clocks that stock but you can query for supported clocks:

nvidia-smi -q

if u want to overclock you need to use presistent mode (demon) coolbits and nvidia-xconfig

nvidia-persistenced --persistence-mode #first run deamon

nvidia-smi -pm ENABLED #2nd enable persistenced mode

nvidia-smi -pl 130 #limit TDP if u want

to run coolbits all GPU must be seen in nvidia-setting by xorg, if not :

nvidia-xconfig -a, --enable-all-gpus #this add every screen for every gpu to xconfig.conf

now we can run collbits

nvidia-xconfig -cool-bits=28 #now u can control core & mem clocks and termal setting in xorg.

use this from console or make script if u want to auto overclock (can use crontab):

nvidia-settings -a "GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[3]=value"

nvidia-settings -a "GPUGraphicsClockOffset[3]=value"
