    That's because their an older driver, based on the 156.xx/165.xx series.

    This is possible... but understand that shader OC is working...
    As far as I know this only works on 163.xx drivers... did they do that for the 165.xx older series? Anyone know?

    My clock is currently set at 625... my shader at 1300...

    yep, i forgot to mention that. Be carefull, 625 for the core could be fine but the 8600 does not like shader near 1200mhz. Above 1175 ( the very last step before 1200 ) sometime it will give artefacts.

    This is the first driver that has allowed me to overclock Nvidia Geforce 8400M GS on the Santa Rosa Sony SZ with Rivatuner 2.05 without the values resetting. Need to do some more testing to confirm.

    Check my sig, I have the 8700GT so I am not even close to the capabilities of my GPU when to comes to oveclocking at 1300 shader.

    (I've had mine at 775/1550/938 for over 4 hours of benchmarking without artifacts and without the temp exceeding 68C)

    More news, 167.26 OCs in Vista, plays Bioshock, and reacts more like the 163.xx series than the 165.xx series in performance and features.

    If 167.26 is indeed based on 165.xx, then its a hybrid of some sort incorporating 163.xx features and game compatibility.
