    In the settings screen it will look like the settings are back to standard indeed, even when you have just activated an OC profile. Check with GPU-Z to see the actual clock speeds the GPU is running at.

    Neither GPU-Z nor Nvidia System Monitor shows any change. :confused: I am using the driver from the Dell site for Vista X64.

    No, I try to control the clock frequency manually. So far I can do it only with the following settings
    1. In the registry set the PowerMizerLevelAC entry to 3.
    2. Use PowerStrip for further downclocking to 200/150 MHz.
    Better than nothing, but not a very good solution. If there is the need for full 3D performance, then PowerStrip can be used to increase the clock to 800/500 MHz (or even 800/600 MHz if you want to take the risk of overclocking). But PowerStrip can not change the shader clock! Therefore I would prefer the Nvidia Toolkit.

    The new driver installed fine and according to 3DMarks Vantage I scored an additional 175 points... Now to test stability...

    This driver update seams pretty stable to me. Mudbox 2009 was unusable with the last driver but it seams to run fairly well on the new driver from what i have seen so far. I hope my CS4 collection arrives tomorrow. I am eager to try it out :)

    Is anyone having any driver related software issues? If so what apps? Thanks
