    Werid thing with 2.09 If i try to overclock my core past 550, it downclocks the card to 100.

    Edit: Nvm. It doesn;t downclock, its just reads it as 100 now, odd though.

    I try to stay away from RivaTuner since the day I nearly burnt my FX5600 when tried to slightly overclock it. Been years ago, but still, I think its better to use modified ForceWare where all the OC options get unlocked. Used ForceWare to overclock my nVidia GF6200Go, which was pretty handy)

    She has paint on her lips.

    I'm wary of Riva as well...though I have the most success using it with lower end cards like my old 6200 GT, which practically doubled performance with a decent OC.

    Otherwise I'd prefer to use driver OCing like you said.

    If I update from .06 -> .09, will I have to redo my custom fan profiles?

    How do you use driver overclocking?

    whoa. i hope you meant 2Mb/sec connection. 2Gb/sec is insanely fast. you could download dvds in less than 10 seconds.
