Undoing an overclock?

Hi

Not if this is the correct part of the forums to put this in but I couldn't find a specific overclocking sub-forum.

Anyway I have Rivatuner installed in XP on my Asus to overclock the nVidia 9600M GS GPU in it and I'm wondering how to restore the GPU back to it's factory default i.e. how it was when I got it.

I've had a couple of "the nVidia display driver failed" error messages whilst playing games and I'm thinking it's because I've oc'd the card, either that or nVidias 185.20 drivers are slightly unstable...

Anyway any advice on how to restore the card to normal factory default clocks would be appreciated.

 

i think if you reinstall the driver itll go back to the stock settings.

 

Uninstall riva tuner or open riva tuner, open the overclocking section and disable overclocking by unchecking the box at the top, or just remove the "automatic startup" on that page.

 

The undo "auto startup" is probably easiest. As for 185.20, running Dox's optimized version, I have had one Blue Screen of Death that I think was caused by graphics drivers on the Vista x64 version running on Win7 x64. Not sure since it was quite garbled and I couldn't read it, but I figure that's at least as good a sign that it's the graphics driver as the actual text. I haven't had any BSOD's or other problems running the XP x32 version on XP x32, but it does seem that at least some variants of it aren't 100% stable.

 

Dox has an optimized version of the 185.20, that's new, I'll have to go check them out as I was using the nVidia 185.20 they released a couple of weeks ago.

I don't have the start at windows startup box checked, does that mean I haven't even overclocked my GPU?

I changed the sliders to Performance 3D and that was it?

 

bump...
