Hi guys,
So how on Earth do I OC a nVidia GPU in Vista (running driver 100.65)?
I tried RivaTuner, but it doesn't see my driver at all; I tried with different drivers, but no luck
I have an ASUS EN6600 on AGP; OC'ed it with no probs in XP at 380/553
Waiting for my 8800GTS 320...
So how do I do it?

Have you tried ntune (run as administrator) or ati tool?

ntune is for nVidia MCP boards, mine is not
I thought ati tool is only for ati; i'll give it a try

EDIT: it works!! thx a lot man!

Glad it worked. Actually both utilites, despite their names, can run on most boards(i.e. ntune runs on non-nvidia boards, but can only oc the gpu, and ati tool can change settings on cards other than ati as well.)

I heard nTune is better (it has good temp monitoring and better GUI)
Thanks again

I personally like nTune, except for me, it doesn't remember the settings I set after I reboot

If you don't change your overclocking speeds often, you could flash the graphics card BIOS with the new speeds. That way it would be OS-independent.

I'm not a big fan of flashing, if stuff goes wrong, it can go wrong horribly.

But its nice if someone can give a step by step video card bios flashing tutorial.

I might add it to my simple overclocking post, but its not something I'd recommend newbs to do.
