Coolbits and the 8800 series nvidia video cards?

[Fistandantilis]

Has any body gotten coolbits to work with the 8800series cards? Right now, I am using the 97.92 drivers and I have installed the coolbits reg file but I haev no coolbits... am I missing something? I have tried these drivers along with the latest 101.02 drivers.

Thanks for the help.

coolbits will not work, you have to use ntune.

Or you could use Rivatuner. Thats what I use with the 97.92's

Can't you just use the latest version of ATITool?

I wanted to use coolbits for the "auto detect" for overclocking my card, nTune keeps crashing my system when I try to auto detect an overclock.
right now I got my GTX set to the "superclocked" speeds, I guess that is OK. I am just curious how far this card will go thats all.

Screw ntune I hate it.

Use Rivatuner.
Also as a note for 100.xx users you can force Rivatuner to make it think it's still using the 97.92 driver so rivatuner still works.

And auto-detect is normally wrong anyway. It's a better idea to try and find the maximum overclock yourself.

What's wrong with nTune? Works great for me.

Agreed, Ntune works, but how do you make your oc settings stick on restart?
