    Hi, Im new to overclocking and I really dont know where to start. So far, I have installed 156.65 driver from laptop2go. Then I used rivatuner 2.04 to change the core and memory clock. I changed them to 450 and 600 respectively. But whenever i close the window the clocks go back to the original 400. I have tried the same thing with ntune. Am I forgetting to do something or am I doing something wrong?

    BTW, I running Vista Home edition 32bit.

    Did you select "save settings" ?

    You must also test them by pressing the "test" button before :)

    The newer drivers do not allow overclocking.

    Could you recommend a driver to use to overlock?
