Ok,in the EXPERTool menu, i goto performance click on the "enhanced mode settings" and it increases my core/mem settings to a certain number.

My question is, i installed coolbits, and when i right click on desktop -> propterties -> settings -> clockspeed tweak...

it reads a different number from the EXPERTool from the windows coobit hax..


so which one is right? is there a way to check the OC speeds?

Why install coolbits if you have ExpertTool?
Anyway, DL rivatuner. It`ll give you the speed that the card bios is set at and the driver speed.
I think, not sure though, that the ExpertTool is a low level overclocker, where as coolbits is a driver one, hence the different reported speeds.

My GF3Ti200 is shown to run 200/450 by both EXPERTool and nvclock under linux. May I also say that Gainward rocks: it's 2D quality is WAY better than my old Chaintech's GF2Ti (I thought that ghosting and blurry images were due to my old monitor, but picture with Gainward's card is perfect), it runs at GF3 speeds by default (factory overclocked) and costs only about $100.

It's dangerous to use more than one overclocking tool at once on a video card as you can permanently damage it. Sometimes a utility doesn't accurately read the card's status if another utility is controlling it.
