    Hi there,

    Has anyone been able to OC an 8600M GS on an Acer 5920G with 169.28 drivers?

    I've tried RivaTuner, AtiTool and nTune and all three won't overclock, the just revert back to factory settings (450/400) as soon as I press OK.

    Anyone have any idea's? Are there earlier stable drivers that can be overclocked?

    I had to go down to 169.04 to get the overclocked settings to stick. Not sure why the later drivers don't let you overclock.

    Are these good drivers to use?

    What are some good overclock settings to use with the 8600M GS?

    Thanks

    I think the drivers are fine.
    a stable safe clock for me is 600/1200/450
