    Well dont question me about how i do it. The card was running very good after I make the overclocking I run Halo 2 and hawx. Halo 2 I go from 800x600 to 1200x720. in hawx now using all in high quality except some things.

    my card is the 8400gs of dell xps 1330. I overclock it to 500gpu/600mem.
    Thats was yesterday. today when i go to play the games runs slow like never before. put all the things to normal and still laggy. I reinstalles riva and driver and still the same problem. Im going to install the same driver that I have before the overcloking. Note: when I have this problem today I put the overclocking in default and check and then put ikt in 510gpu an d check the game, the performance was the same crap. what I make wrong?

    A question of voltage. I saw a people using a propram to low the voltaje to low the temps of cpu gpu but it also down the performance?

    I download and using DOX now, thanks tunay. Now I get "good" performance on COD 5, with the old driver It was stupid put the game with good graphics. Now Im using the game with good graphics and resolution. The game is still slow in some parts and a little choppy. I want to overclock the driver but not have a clear instructions to do that. Please anyone can help me. I try on nTune but it not let to overclock.
