    I figured that 169.04 would let me.

    I'm interested in knowing whether the 8600M GS downclocks when inactive. This is also known as the powermizer feature.

    Did you try Rivatuner?

    It should be yes, but LG locked the vga bios it seems, so unless we can get hold of a modded 8600m gs ddr3 bios, were kinda screwed it seems :(

    And yes, Rivatuner works fine with all drivers (if the hardware allows it).

    It does declock when inactive, but thats a good thing.. makes temperatures lower when gpu is not needed, works pretty well here.

    And powermizer is set to be disabled in the modded drivers I use right now, so not sure wether powermizer really controls things or is just another way of software controlling clocks.
