    Recently downloaded a modified 3xx OEM driver from laptop2go. Clock speed won't go past 797MHz, memory can't go past 1070.

    I have always used this guide for installing and deleting nVIDIA drivers.

    GeForce Driver Installation Guide - NVIDIA Forums


    Am I doing something wrong, if so, where can I see an updated 2012/2011 version for installing/wiping 3xx driver?


    Thanks in advance :)

    Just choose the custom install method and select the 'clean install' method. Always works for me ;).
