I have an 8600M GT and I am using 169.04. I OCed using rivatuner 2.06 and bumped mine up to 575/475. Didn't care to do more than that, I just wanted The Witcher to play smoothly.

Guest Garandhero Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 So is it perhaps that drivers from Windows dont allow you to overclock? Comon folks ~ will someone answer some of my above questions please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasir Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 the drivers provided by microsoft through windows update and Dell drivers are useless and crap . they dont allow you to overclock your gpu in most cases . so make sure you download the modified drivers which are found on this site , download the latest beta drivers from this site , and follow the instructions in detail as written on the driver page on this website . the drivers provided by microsoft through windows update and Dell drivers are useless and crap . they dont allow you to overclock your gpu in most cases . so make sure you download the modified drivers which are found on this site , download the latest beta drivers from this site , and follow the instructions in detail as written on the driver page on this website . make sure after following the above steps , download nTune and try overclocking .

Guest Vashts121 Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I had the same problem, and it seems to me that nTune was causing the problem. First, install RivaTuner overclocker, then uninstall nTune. Next, download coolbits 2, install the registry key, and you should be able to OC fine. I have a GeForce 8600GT like yours (DDR2) and I can oc it to 680/510 max, but it heats up fast so I keep it at 530/450. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
