Guest mhd Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 try the older drivers 16X.XX (let X=numbers) it worked for me...the new drivers are not good at overclocking i personally think but they have better fps for games or u can try to overclokc it manually by booting into user adminstrator and change some values in a file....i cant find the link for you..its on this site...try cheking the forums etc or hope that an user on thei site will post it.it should work but i havent tried it. mhd, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anubas Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) I have downloaded and installed driver sweeper but it keeps giving an error, "cannot create file.... access denied".I'm logged on as the Adm though. I have also tried 169.44 drivers after using driver cleaner pro, river tuner will still not work any more ideas. have also tried turning on "Apply overclocking at Windows startup". in river tuner Edited November 2, 2008 by anubas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
