    Hi I been having an issue I use Rivatuner but once in a while when it goes to stand by the driver reverts and goes back to stay up on high settings. Its a really horrible issue with the drivers, I tried all the Powermizer programs out there with no perminant results. Why doesnt Apple release any patches for Windows and its drivers?

    Because Macs are designed to be used with OS X and Boot Camp is merely a courtesy. You can use standard NVIDIA drivers, though. Download the latest direct from them. You might need to use a modified .inf, which is available here.

    Hi thanks I figured it out also with a modified inf with a program to force throttling. I suggest others that have this card and ATI cards to do the samething thing to throttle cause its the main issue why the cpu heats up a lot. Also helps the temps to download a program to speed up the fans.
