Im having troubles overclocking my 8600GT recently. I have been using RivaTuner to overclock, and it was working a treat! But now whenever i apply an overclock setting, it seems to revert to defaults when i close the overclocking section of RivaTuner?? :confused: I have left the status window open during games to see if the clock rate changes like it used to and it doesnt, it stays at stock speeds! :( Any ideas whats going on?

Also, what temperatures are acceptable for graphics cards? My card is a Leadtek 8600GT, 256mb GDDR3. Idle seems to be around 45-50c, and load is bang on 70c. Is this ok?? What would be a max temp? :confused:

Just changed your GPU drivers?

If so give Expertool a try. Temps sound fine, imo. My GTS idles at about 52, around 70 under load.
