    I'm having a strange problem with nTune. I followed the driver guide's instructions for replacing drivers and I installed the new 180.70 from laptopvideo2go. I also installed the newest version of ntune. I then set the clocks to 620, 920, 1550, clicked "apply" and closed the program. I then said "yes" when asked if I would like to load these setting on startup. I then started GPUz and checked the settings... it showed me being back at stock settings. I opened ntune and saw that not only was the card back to stock clocks, it had also reverted my saved profile to stock clocks as well. Has anyone had this problem before?

    Edit: Sorry for the extra t in the title... didn't notice that.

    goto C:\Users\_____\AppData\Local\NVIDIA Corporation\nTune\Profiles

    edit your profiles manually to the clocks you like.

    or make sure you run ntune with admin priv.

    I think it had something to do with the high clocks... I used to keep it at 600/900/1550 and it ran fine. I don't think it appreciated the extra 20. I brought it down and it kept the profile. I actually played around with it and managed to make it stick to 620/920 but LOMAC crashed so it was obviously unstable. I brought it back down again and now it's staying fine.

    I'm still not sure what exactly caused it to forget the settings but I'm pretty sure it's not powermizer, since it works perfectly well at 600/900. The new 180.70 driver is getting along surprisingly well with powermizer (for now). Thanks for the tips.
