| 525450 | 2007-02-17 22:27:00 | I'm stumped. My overclocking of my 7900GS will only last until a system restart. I'm using nVidia's own control panel to do it. I'm under XP SP2 and I use Everest to monitor things. After overclocking and restarting, the GPU will run at default speeds. From core/memory of 450/1320 I overclocked it to 550/1600 safely. No games/benchmark suffered from it. So it's a safe overclock. Could anybody please tell me how to permanently overclock my card? |

| 525451 | 2007-02-18 02:26:00 | Save your overclock settings in a profile and make sure you tick the box that says "apply settings at Windows startup" well at least that's how it works in ATi Tray tools. Cheers chiefnz |

| 525452 | 2007-02-18 06:19:00 | Thanks. The new nVidia Control Panel view vis different than the old ones. The new one doesn't have the 'apply overclock at startup' option. So I had to revert it back to old view. Cheers! |

| 525453 | 2007-02-19 03:24:00 | I have another problem now - hope someone can help me. I am able to overclock my 7900GS to 560/1600 and everything are stable and sweet as. But for some reason it goes back to stock speeds (450/1320) without warning at all. And I didn't even restart the PC. Just left it there, and when I looked up the clock speeds, it went back to stock. What's going on? |

| 525454 | 2007-02-19 04:04:00 | Could be a safety precaution within the software itself, something similar to ATi's Overdrive where the clock speeds revert to normal if the temp of the GPU gets past a certain level. I'm not too sure as I am not very familiar with the nVidia software offering. I would think that it's some sort of fail-safe mechanism. cheers chiefnz |

| 525455 | 2007-02-19 08:06:00 | Hmmm...I don't know if that's it. I even ran 3Dmark06 and Black & White 2 (highly intensive on graphics game) one after another on 562/1600 and the temperature never got above 69. And no artifact/any graphical hiccups in the process. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 525456 | 2007-02-19 09:54:00 | Ya,I admire your video card,my notebook's video card just the Go 7300(64-bit).If I were you,I'll be so contented that wouldn't overclock! Your problem seems commonly,nowadays most overclock players meet the same problem.I think maybe when the GPU reach some high temperature,it will out of control by the software. |

| 525457 | 2007-02-19 17:40:00 | Download Coolbits (Google it) it is a small registry entry that enables the OCing then use the old nVidia sytle (I have found it better than the new) control panel and then in the menu there is an entry "Clock Frequency Settings" do the OCing from here, and there is an "Apply these settings at startup" box | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 525458 | 2007-02-19 18:27:00 | That's exactly what nVidia's CP has, and I've done that. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
