Are you running the latest version of Rivatuner, 2.06?

 

[romperstomper]

Yeah 2.06 someone described how to do it on this site a couple of months ago but can not find it !

you using xp though ?

Your issue is XP, you need read the Guides on how to do it, you only get that Box in Vista.

I read the guides on how to do this in XP and I couldn't get it to work either. The guides I read were full of cheese!

If no one figures it out and posts tonight I'll have another go at it tomorrow.


Edit: This is the guide I tried

I used to link it using the Power users Menu in the 2 Builds just before he added the Shader Slider to the main Console.

Im sure it was " -1 " you set to keep Slider in the Nvidia's Default Ratio to the Core when OC'ing.

power user
rivatuner\system / scroll down and find _NVAPIusagebehaviour set the value to 1

 

[helmutcheese]

Must have been 1 not -1

Yeh, it was a new build with the 169.09B drivers. maybe that had something to do with it. That link shows Rivatuner 2.05, maybe 2.06 fixed it by default.

Works with most 8800 cards regardless of brand.

I use to use that but when the shader control came out it kept locking up !

I'm using the v2.06 beta 6 on XP and used this. Worked fine for me.
