    Are you having trouble overclocking your GPU?
    Try this way ( NTUNE needed for it to work )
    When you try to overclock with ntune 99% of the time it reverts back to stock settings unless you go back to the really old drivers
    well my friends i think i have cracked it
    Open ntune and save the current profile,
    The default is nvsutil, save it then close ntune,
    goto
    X:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\NVIDIA Corporation\nTune\Profiles ( replace x with drive you have it installed )
    open nvsultil with notepad, it should look something like this ( profile will vary from gpu to gpu )

    [BoardConfiguration]
    Version=200
    CPU=60f81
    MCP=1127
    GPU=NVIDIA GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M

    [ClockSettings]
    FSBMHZ=200
    AGPMHZ=2500
    PCIe2MHZ=0
    TRAS=10
    TRCD=2
    TRP=2
    TRC=10
    TWR=2
    TRRD=2
    TRWT=2
    TWTR=2
    TWRRD=0
    TWRWR=1
    TRDRD=0
    TREF=0
    GPUCOREMHZ=350
    GPUMEMMHZ=0
    GPUSHADERMHZ=0
    HTMULTIPLIER=3

    [VoltageSettings]
    CPUVOLTAGE=-1
    NFORCEVOLTAGE=-1
    MEMVOLTAGE=-1
    AGPVOLTAGE=-1
    AUXVOLTAGE=-1
    CPUFAN=-1
    AUXFAN1=-1
    HTCPUSPPVOL=-1
    HTSPPMCPVOL=-1
    NFORCEFAN=-1
    AUX1FAN=-1
    AUX2FAN=-1
    CPUVREFVOL=-1
    GPUFAN3D0=0

    this is my standard settings before i overclocked anything, now the fun part

    [BoardConfiguration]
    Version=200
    CPU=60f81
    MCP=1127
    GPU=NVIDIA GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M

    [ClockSettings]
    FSBMHZ=200 changed to 250
    AGPMHZ=2500 changed to 3000
    PCIe2MHZ=0
    TRAS=10
    TRCD=2
    TRP=2
    TRC=10
    TWR=2
    TRRD=2
    TRWT=2
    TWTR=2
    TWRRD=0
    TWRWR=1
    TRDRD=0
    TREF=0
    GPUCOREMHZ=350 changed to 450
    GPUMEMMHZ=0 cganged to 667
    GPUSHADERMHZ=0
    HTMULTIPLIER=3

    [VoltageSettings]
    CPUVOLTAGE=-1
    NFORCEVOLTAGE=-1
    MEMVOLTAGE=-1
    AGPVOLTAGE=-1
    AUXVOLTAGE=-1
    CPUFAN=-1
    AUXFAN1=-1
    HTCPUSPPVOL=-1
    HTSPPMCPVOL=-1
    NFORCEFAN=-1
    AUX1FAN=-1
    AUX2FAN=-1
    CPUVREFVOL=-1
    GPUFAN3D0=0

    exit notepad save and overwrite,
    now open ntune and load the nvsutil profile and away you go
    My cpu went from a 1.8GHz to 2.25GHz And My GPU is set at 450 MHz
    now the gpu is still locked out in the settings all you need to do is edit the nvsutil profile to up your speeds.
    good luck and i hope it works fro all.

    i'm running windows XP64 with 176.34 nvidia driver
