    The Core and Shader clocks are tied together, so when you OC one, you do both.

    You can also take a look at the MSI Afterburner software, it is a pretty popular with the overclocking crowd, but I think Nvidia tools tends to be a bit easier.

    the msi wouldn't hold my profiles... it would always change them back to default clocks.. thats why i was asking them if there were another software out there. I didn't know the nvidia tool oc'ed the shader because it was grayed out. didn't know they were tied together.

    Is either one more stable than the other or are they the same?
