    Overclocking problems...

    I got a new laptop (Dell m1530) and got the 178.13 drivers from laptopvideo2go, but I just can't seem to overclock...

    When I use ntune, I increase the overclock settings, but when I click "apply", they just go back to factory settings. The 8600GT uses DDR3 by the way...

    Also, when I use rivatuner, it seems to make no difference. I could put the clock speeds at maximum or minimum, and Crysis will not have any differences in FPS, meaning the program is not working correctly.

    I read up somewhere that earlier drivers let you overclock... But is it even feasible to downgrade drivers for this???

    :confused:

    that doesnt make sense.

    Try older drivers since those ones might not work for you. Atleast of the 177x drivers will work.
