    It seems every driver from 169.12 to 169.17 are un-overclockable (pardon my swedish). I have been trying the drivers from newest to oldest, now at 169.12 and still get the message from Riva Tuner that Riva Tuner has not been tested with the current drivers...

    Now I don't know if that means the overlock won't work, but my 3dmark06 scores aren't changing a bit and even ATITool won't work. With the 169.17 it said I had to enable a "monitor" which I had, and with 169.12 it says "the kernel mode driver does not seem to be running".

    Anyways, I'm stumped. With the 169.09 I was able to use RivaTuner without any problems whatsoever.

    Any advice?

    I believe that the latest driver that's overclockable is 169.13, so yeah the newer drivers are not unlocked.

    I haven't seen any benefits from using anything newer than verson 169.04, so I suggest you just use the older revisions if you want to overclock. They should be linked around this forum if you do a search.
