I have just installed the new Nvidia driver version 186.18, and also I noticed there is a new "Nvidia Sytem Tools" which I have also installed.

Looks like Nvidia finally let you use there special program to manually overclock your card. Unfortunatly there is no auto-overclocking option (what a surprise) so I used the overclock that Tweaktown managed with there Gainward card.

Hopefully it will now play even better in all the games that I currently have installed, even though my system can pretty much do that already.

Has anyone else noticed this software, and have also had a crack at overclocking there cards?
 
Just a surprise that Nvidia gives you the option to manually overclock the card. Just waiting for Rivatuner to finally have a new version to support the latest Nvidia drivers, as they had a very easy to use "automatic overclocking" where all of the hard work is done for you. As far as I can see, there is no overclocking software that has this feature, as the EVGA Precision, System Tools etc only have the manual option
 
It certainly does not allow automatic overclocking with my GTX295, but they did allow it before the drivers where Nvidia changed the way it works, making Rivatuner redundant. I just need them to release a new version with the new driver revision support. It was said they might release a new one in June, but near the end of the month and nothing :(
