I tried the search here but got zero results, I even got zero results just searching for 8800GTS so I don't think it's working very well as I'm certain this has been discussed before.

But, I need to overclock my 8800GTS in Vista 64 bit. Do any of the overclocking utilities work in Vista Ultimate 64 bit?

Thanks for any light you can shed on this.

I know that overclocking has to be done using Ntune for the 8800's. Not sure if this is true for VIsta though.

Have you tried PowerStrip 3.7,I read one guy got it to work in Vista x64.

From all I've seen posted thus far, the only way to overclock video cards in Vista is with a modded card bios. Hopefully overclocking utilities will eventually be supported.

I haven't tried powerstrip yet, I will do that.

Where can I read how to change a card's bios?

Not true. I use ATiTool in WinXP. Haven't tried it in Vista.
