Please Help with RivaTuner

[dave39]

Hey guys, I just downloaded RivaTuner 2.05 and I want to OC my 8800GTS some. I have adjusted the fan speed to be 80% instead of 60% and then when I go to try and change my clock speeds I get a message that wants to detect current settings by rebooting. Here is a screeny of what I am looking at:

It will not let me "Enable driver-level hardware overclocking" and just gives me that message every time. I have rebooted my computer with the tool a couple of times now to see if that would work but it does not. I have never used RivaTuner before so maybe I need to change some other settings before it will allow me to OC the card?? Please help me out here. Thanks

Looks like they can't detect your core and mem clock. Anyways, you might want to try out ATI Tool, I think it's easier to use.

ATI Tool is for ATI cards though right?

 

[phucng_10]

Nope, you can use it with most nVidia cards as well.

Can you adjust your fan speed with it as well?

 

[dave39]

Would N Tune be the best choice for me to OC ?

Nope, you can't adjust the fan speed. Adjusting the fan speed, you can try something else, but for overclocking the VGA, I think ATi Tool seems pretty easy. They should detect your stock Core and Mem clock once you open up ATi Tool.

I used N-Tune. Current GPU settings at 625/950
Scored 11,500 in 3dmark06.
Thanks for the help. NTune is pretty easy to use.

Yeah, I guess every program is pretty easy to use once you learn about it a bit more, lol. Well it's great that you figured out how to use it!
