    Hi,

    Hoping someone can help me. I have a HP 8530w and want to overclock the Quadro FX 770M. I've read posts that others have done this however I'm unable.

    I've tried RivaTuner, nTune and also Nvidia System Tools 6.02. Rivatuner doesn't give me access at all to the overclocking options and nTune allows me to adjust the clock speeds however when I click APPLY they just revert back to the default clocks.
    System Tools gives me the message "The changes made were invalid and will not be applied. Currently I'm using ver 177.79 with modded INF. The stock HP drivers also do the same thing.

    Any advise would be much appreciated. Perhaps I'm just doing something wrong.

    Thanks

    be sure to check your temps while over clocking.

    And aswell stability tests, get ATITool and run it for around half an hour. If it doesn't give you a error you should be fine.

    I'll try Firestorm out.

    Can anyone who has already overclocked the FX770M successfully tell me how they did it as well ? Does / should it work with Rivatuner ? Or with nTune

    Thanks

    There really shouldn't be any reason why it won't work with Rivatuner or nTune.

    I wouldn't have thought there would be an issue either. Is someone there that has done it with either Riva or Nvidia tools and can assist me with the steps they used ?

    Thanks
