I never like the idea of OC'ing thru application. Would you OC ur CPU thru app? Same goes with the GPU. It would eliminate driver issues. ID: 15620 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

If you overclock the GPU, I suggest you roll back to 196.34, the latter whilst formally a beta, only has the O/C bug fix as the difference between 196.21 and 196.34.

NVidia released 197.13 Beta today, which alledges to fix the fan issue. Guru3d are also carrying the driver if problems getting it from NVidia. Regards Zy ID: 15799 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Zydor, get yourself a graphics card, then worry about the driver! ID: 15802 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
