    Hi,

    For quite some time ago I was messing around with my shaderclock, which didn't work out so well. Now, I logged into my laptop for the first time in a while and performed a clean install of Windows 7. Will a clean install restore all changes I've made to my shaderclock?

    Edit: I used EVGA Precision

    Never mind - I got a quicker answer from another tech forum. It appears a clean install resets all edited clocks.

    A clean video driver installation should be enough. Just make sure you completely remove all previous versions (restart and check your device manager until the display adapter appears as "Standard VGA adapter").

    Clean up your registry using driver fusion or manually deleting the necessary entries.

    Then install the latest driver available for your card and you're good to go.
