Riva Tuner 2.06 w/ overclocking support for 169.xx drivers!!!

Check it out on laptopvideo2go.com. I installed and was able to effectively overclock my M570RU with the 169.01 drivers. This should get us all some more frames per second in the newest games! GREAT NEWS!!!

I'm using RivaTuner 2.05 with 169.04 -- everything seems to work fine. I can overclock nicely with 3DMark06 score at 10264.

I'm not sure what the new 2.06 version gets me so I opted to stick with 2.05 for now.

 

For me the overclock would never stick. It would always automatically go to defaults when I hit apply. I'm happy now!

 

Hey, what clocks can you reach? And temps?

I use atitool to test my oc´s and my 8700gt starts artifacting at 720gpu/960mem reaching 64c...so i have to stick with 710/950. I was using 169.04 on xp, but changed to 169.02 to see if it altered something, but i get the same results...

I´ve read somewhere on this forum that this card can easily reach 800/1000 without going over 60c...

Could that be driver related, or is it just bad luck with the card i´ve got?

My system is the same as yours but with Wuxga T7500 and 160gb 7200rpm.

 

Using Riva Tuner 2.06 and with the 169.04 drivers in XP, I am able to OC to 750/1000 with an average temp around 66c. It has reached 68c max. The best 3DMark06 score I was able to achieve was 6030. I may be able to reach higher if I terminate some unneeded programs prior to launching the the benchmark. I didn't get any artifacting at all with this temp. I tried cranking it up to 775/1000 and the artifacting started.

To get what I can achieve with get less than 60c would be crazy! Mine idles at 55-58c.

 

I'm at 756/1700/1000 for CPU/Shader/RAM. It runs at 58-64C with max fans in the 9261. I think I may be able to go higher with RAM (which is crazy since 1GHz is already insane). The CPU clock seems to be the most limiting. I know I cannot run CPU at 774.

 

WOW!! I just ran 3Dmark with the clocks you listed above.... I got 6343!!!! I think that may be the tops for my system! I'm HAPPY!!!

Well, there is a member of this forum that reached 800/1000 and (i think) 1850 on the shaders, without going over 60c without any extra cooling...

Odly enough, i can set clocks on rivatuner to 760/1000 and run 3dmark06 without artifacting or freezing and my top temp is 61/62c; while scanning for artifacts in atitool, if i get past 720/950, it starts artifacting(or freezes the notebook) right off, reaching 64/65c...
