    I dont know but since sometime last week i havent been able to overclock my card on my laptop. I've had the same drivers (dual booting, XP + Vista) on both operating systems (169.09) and before I was able to overclock and my clocks would stick. Now for some reason when I try to set the clocks they jump back to stock. I tried reinstalling the driver in XP and even updated to 169.28 and the same thing happens. Uninstall driver, run driver cleaner, install new driver. It's always the same process. I cant remember installing anything lately that would have caused both operating systems to not be able to overclock. Can anyone give me some advice? Laptop is in sig.

    One thing I noticed is that i can overclock my 2D and low power 3D clocks and have them stick but not my high power 3d clocks. I can also downclock my high power 3d clocks but not overclock them. Once i down them i cannot bring them back up.

    I've tried using Ntune, Riva Tuner, and Ati Tool on both operating systems with no success (before any of them worked).
