How to Overclock 9800 GX2 utility under vista 64?

[Pandya]

Does anyone have a link to a good software to help me overclock my 9800 gx2 in vista ultimate 64? I can't find any that are compatible with vista or can tweak the 9800.

Your video card is 64 bit right? even if what you ordered was 64 bit i would double check!

and of course you plugged the aux. power connector to the video card?

If you answered yes to both then my advice is to download rivatuner. it's and excellent overclocking and diagnostic utility that using very little cpu power and it's free.

after you figure out it's basic functions run a few tests with fps and gpu/cpu temps running in the on screen display while you run a game. this will allow you to see what's physically going on while you play the game without having to alt-tab.

you can also choose to monitor cpu and gpu usage as well.

play crysis with all settings on high (NOT VERY HIGH.. just high) gpu usage should be no more than 30 - 40 % and temp shouldn't be more than 70 degrees Celsius.

The GeForce series has 3 domains we can play around with and try to clock faster. The core (ROP) domain, the shader processors domain and the graphics memory. Clocking these domains faster (MHz) often can result in performance increases of 5 to 10%. And in the land of graphics, that's the difference between fast and furious..

If I am not mistaking..

After installing XP on this machine and doing all updates I gave this machine back to the owner.

He booted it up yesterday and told me it froze up on him again.

This seems to only happen during heavy game-playing.

The link you gave above is interesting but only seems to affect Vista. This machine is running XP Pro and all the updates are applied.
