Overclock settings of 8800GTS does not stick

[Corporate Thug]

I have a 320mb 8800GTS. I go into the control panel, set the clocks to 600/2000, works fine. But when I restart the system, the clocks go back to factory settings.

any recommendations?

Welcome to broken drivers. Are you using XP or Vista? With XP32 I have to reapply my settings when I reboot (I use RivaTuner, not sure if NTune is fixed or not with 158.19 series drivers).

The way to get a OC permanently is to flash your video card.

I really recommend Nbitor to flash since you only want a specific oc.

thanx for the responses. I'm using XP.

I think I will keep the lower clocks rather than flash though

One solution which works for some is to setup a custom rule to load an OC profile on Windows startup. You can do this using Ntune under "Adjust Custom Rules". It didn't work for me though, I got error messages about loading the profile which is another pretty common problem.

The easiest way I've found is to just use Riva Tuner. It worked for me and you don't have to continue to run Riva Tuner after making the changes as it changes the registry so you're OC loads on startup. Give it a try.
