    Alright, after troubleshooting this into eternity I guess its time to bring it to the forum.

    What I've tried so that you don't have to repeat:
    Uninstall everything, reboot into Safe Mode and run Driver Sweeper.
    I've tried the following drivers: 178.33 LaptopVideo2Go, Xfastest 177.88, OEM Drivers.
    I've tried the following nTune/System tools: 5.05.54.00 nTune. 6.02 nVidia system tools.

    I've restarted after installing the driver and nTune/SystemTools

    What I've got as an OS
    Fresh install using Gateway 64-bit

    For some reason on mine when I first installed nTune it did not show the performance tab and then one day I was messing around and I noticed the tab was there. I don't know what happened it just appeared.

    I had the same problem. Try redownloading the latest version of ntune from different sources and keep reinstalling them until you get it. If that fails, I could send you a copy of my version, which I know has it.

    I don't have an email client that'll support a 70 mb attachment so I'm putting it up on rapidshare. I have a slow connection so it'll be up in about an hour.

    Any one know why nTune does this?

    Today I noticed the colors really bright on my screen and thought instantly about adjusting Digital Vibrance (set at 50%) and when I opened nTune it was at 100% and I noticed the "Performance" tab is not there anymore. What the heck!

    So I uninstalled and reinstalled and now its back and Digital Vibrance is staying at 50%

    the performance panel doesn't show up unless you accept the user liscense agreement. It's somewhere under those tabs. Just click accept or ok or whatever and the performance tab should appear.

    Anyone else got any idea as to what I should try. It seems crazy that I'm having this issue.

    That is weird, when my disappeared I just reinstalled with the same file I used before and it was back. Have you tried to contact nVidia?

    On a side note the Digital Vibrance issue was due to 177.9x drivers

    maybe you've done this already, but try going into your C:\Nvidia folder, delete whats in there, and try downloading a new copy of the system tools.

    Check programs and features to make sure Nvidia Performance is installed alternately you can verify under the program group > Nvidia nTune Performance Application > Win64 > nvCplUI.exe

    Launch it from there. If the performance tab still doesn't show try switching from Advanced settings to Standard settings and back. Mine didn't show up at first but once I did some quick swithing back and forth it just appeared; it's a bug.
