9800M gs not overclocking

I'm the proud owner of my xxodd 860tu with a 9800M gs.

I was trying to test the max perf out the card, but it seems I cannot overclock my card .
I'm running 179.32 and I'm on 64 bit. Ntune won't work, and when I use the nvidia monitor I get a bsod. When I use rivatuner, the clocks do not read correctly in the oc screen, and when I change them, and click apply, nothing happens (on the rivatuner monitoring tool).

Any tips?

 

Install 185.20 driver and play using that one.

 

I tried the driver, even cleaned everything from the old driver, but still no oc

You have to use Nvidia System Tools to OC under the Performance utility.

 

It installs the monitor, and the system update but gives an error when trying to install the performance program (when preparing the msi installer: transformation error).

 

i thought the 9800 couldnt be OC'd :|

 

I did some cheking, and found something.

I have a button on my laptop that puts my gpu in low power mode (downclock) or in normal mode (stock clocks).

When I open rivatner, the performance 3D oc option shows the low power mode clocks (while the riva tuner monitor shows me the real clocks aka the normal mode).

Anyone knows why rivatuner is showing the wrong clocks and why they don't apply when I click apply (I tried this by setting my laptop in low power mode with that button and then apply an oc in rivatuner.)

I've seen other people do it, and there are several people on the internet that can do it too.

EDIT: Got it working with ntune

 

What did you do in order to get Ntune to work?

 

I downloaded ntune seperately, installed it, and it worked. Don't ask why suddenly it started working, before ntune wouldn't work.

just try multiple times I guess.
