    ok i searched and searched but i didnt find anything recent on this either on the laptop2go site or here

    as of today, october 13, 2008 the latest drivers are 179.13, however these dont seem to be OC-able unless im doing something wrong; in ATI Tool and Rivatuner they just reset back to standard (i dont want to do BIOS OC)

    what are the latest drivers that can also OC?

    THANKS

    169.04 Is the latest one I found. Hum, is your card an integrated one? I think integrated card cannot be overclocked

    Lol, 169.04 is ancient. There are better and stable ones out what can be OC'd.
    Check the laptopvideo2go forum, not the site.

    It still the latest one I found. Some gfx card have locked setting with new users. I found this one because many users told that anything made after cannot overclock some card. It's not because your card can overclock that others can.

    169.04 are the current OC'able drivers I can use for my vbios-locked LG P300. I have yet to use any of the 17x series of Forceware drivers that allow OC'ing.

    When I was running an 8600mGT, through Rivatuner 2.09 I was OCing with everything up to 177.98. By the time 178 hit, I had moved on to the 9800GT, which can't software OC with any version anyway.

    My favorites were 171.16, 174.74, 175.19, and 177.72; I never had a problem overclocking with any of these drivers.

    I'm having good results with the 178.26 XP 32 drivers on 8600M GT with RivaTuner 2.11 or nTune. They're under the desktop Quadro category, but they work well in every area (including performance).

    174.31 is the one I've used longest. At the same clocks it's within 4% of 178.26, so you really can't go wrong with any (stable) recent one.
