    When I go to the overclock tab of rivatuner, I can choose to overclock different "driver-level": standart 2d, low power 3d and perf 3d. I can overclock the first and the last with no problem, but not low power 3d, which is in fact the one I want to OC the most(downclocking issues). So how do I enable this section? Is there something I must write in RivaTuner\NVIDIA\Overclocking\Current device\BeavisLowPower3D ?

    Powermizer is the issue.
    Here is a tutorial
    Download riva tuner and enable driver level overclocking. Once you have that set up, then OC like you usually and you'll experience no downclocking.

    Doesn't work: rivatuner reset the seeting as soon as I hit ok. I think it's because I have an oc profile loaded with nvidia. I'll restart later to see if it was the problem

    EDIT: restarting did not solve the issue. Can a modded driver be the cause?
    EDIT2: I just forgot to save profile.

    You cannot overclock the low power 3d. Only performance.
