HD4000: Star Wars Battlefront 2 gpu clock drops to 350 MHz while playing

[idata]

When playing Star Wars Battlefront 2 sometimes the Intel HD 4000 graphic clock drops from 650 to 350 MHz if i stay near the map boundaries and watch outside the map direction. Then the framerate drops to 1 fps.

tested it with gpu-z

This doesn't happen if i set shadows to low or if i play with AA set to 2.

How can this be fixed?

And second question: why does the game run at 650 MHz but when i play ARMA2 it goes up to 1100 MHz?

My System:

Mac Mini 2012 with intel core i5 and 4 GB RAM.

using Windows 7 pro on the bootcamp partition.

Fixed.

deinstalled the graphic driver and installed the driver intel 8.15.10.2761 and made sure it is the 64 bit version .

no problems anymore. Clock goes up to 1100Mhz now and don't drop back to 350 MHz

well i can't say that the driver i deinstalled was 32 or 64 bit so the cause was either the latest driver or my own fault installing a 32bit driver on a 64bit windows.

will test the latest 64bit version and report if it happens again.

It is a driver problem:

the GFX_Win7_64_8.15.10.2761 driver works without problems. The gpu clock speed goes up to 1100 MHz

but

if i install the latest win64_15288 driver the gpu clock speed doesn't goes higher than 650 MHz and drop back to 350 MHz from time to time make the game unplayable.

- i install the latest win64_15288 driver the gpu clock speed doesn't goes higher than 650 MHz.

- i try install GFX_Win7_64_8.15.10.2761 but playing webgame gpu as Google Chrome clock drop back 350Mhz and max only 750Mhz

- please help me!

I Would like to hear from Intel if the 350/650 MHz problem will be solved in the next driver update?

Try this driver: http://www.file-upload.net/download-6880960/15.31.64.2885.rar.html File-Upload.net - 15.31.64.2885.rar

This solved the low clock bug in several games.

WHat is this driver and where does it come from?

it's not a intel website obviosly.

[MSchm21]

This is a Beta driver for 15.31 driver series from Intel.

Hi All,

I see you have an Apple computer, please bear in mind, the support for driver availability and driver features is provided by your computer manufacturer. In other words, Intel does not offer support for Mac Mini computers.

Please check through Apple's web site for assistance:
