    Hello all.

    I have been reading through the forums for a solution in regard to my gpu downclocking without using the standard drivers ( 167.43)
    In doing so i have confused myself even more. :D

    Is there anyone out there who can give me a straight answer?

    I am running a 8800m GTX on the m57ru under Vista x64.
    The bios is the same when shipped, .07.

    I have never really needed to change the stock drivers, as all the games i played on it ran great. Warhammer Online is the only game i have issues with on the stock drivers, hense why i tried to upgrade.

    I have tried many drivers with many different .inf, but they all seem to downclock my gpu.

    I hope this all makes.

    Thank you in advance

    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    1.00.08s fixed downclocking issue, that's what you really needed.

    what theriko gave you is rather complicated, try to PM Gophn or email sager and have them send you the .iso file, all you need to do is burn it on a CD via Nero, restart your computer and follow the instruction.
