    Any other way to overclock 7811 GPU besides nTune or Rivatuner?

    Ok, nTune is screwed for me (might be a Windows 7 issue), and Rivatuner reports incorrect clock speeds.

    Any alternatives?

    eVGA precision tool.

    EVGA precision doesn't work with mobile GPUs if you've tried it you'd know.

    I use nvidia performance tools, the successor to nTune. I make the profiles in nvida performance but I activate them via *.bat files linked through my quick launch buttons. Well, actually I use *.vbs files linked to the quick launch buttons which run the *bat files invisibly in the background. I just get a pop up notification of the current active profile, then the pop-up closes itself.

    You can also double click the *.ntu files and change the profiles that way. If you do it that way be sure to name them by overclock. eg; 650-950-1650.ntu

    OK know it all, it worked right up until few months ago when I didn't reinstall it when I installed Win7. Don't know how it works with current drivers.

    It also says right on the site that mobile GPU's aren't supported. I didn't mean to bruise your fragile ego, buddy. You need to lighten up it's just the internet, nobody cares if you make a tiny mistake. So what if your wrong, you'd look smarter if you just suck it up and let it go.

    eVGA tools works based on support of the drivers, not the card. It says that mobile cards aren't support, doesn't mean that it doesn't work. Everest backs that it works. Don't know if it works in Windows 7 or if these drivers are supported, but since desktop GPU's are on 190.xx I think these might be. I opt for actual experience using a program, after all Daemon isn't suppose to work in Windows 7, but if you update the SPTD before installing Daemon it works.

    It doesn't seem that support is added with the 191.00 drivers. eVGA Precision, along with Rivatuner, doesn't read the correct clock speeds.


    So far, I haven't successfully been able to OC the GPU in Windows 7. nTune would not function at all, and the newest version (nVidia System Tools or Performance whatever) causes a BSOD with an error with nvoclk64.sys.

    ATItool (despite the name) works, that's what I was using before I installed Win7.
