Nvidia 'Performance' OC Question

[godinman]

Okay,

So i've clocked my 8800GTX to this,

Core - 576 to 626
Memory Clock - 900 to 1016
Shader Clock - 1350 to 1616.

All seems stable, my only question, how do I get it to load up these settings on start-up? Or will it do it automatically.

Thanks

Use RivaTuner to save the OC profile.

Or bios flash the beast

Not too hard, If you can manually flash a mobo bios you can do a vidcard no prob

Just use the simple but exellent EVGA precision overclocking tool, set your clocks then check the apply at startup tab, can also set profiles.

thanks for the replys guys, managedto do it using the nvidia performance, and setting a rule to set my OC'd profile on startup.

Only problem I had was, even though it passed the nvidia clock test once setand rebooted, the machine would freeze(or at least the video), ended up having to do a system restore. What program would you guys recommend for testing a gpu OC?

GPU Testing most popular i think is the ATITool and use the artifact scanner, ATITOOL can be found here: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/
Also some people have reccommended using the 3Dmark bencher tools i.e. 3DMark Vantage, and use ATITool at the same time this quickly tests your CPU temps and any artifacts, i have never used this method but does sound like a good way to test your card.

Rivatuner would still be a good idea - it's a very powerful piece of software that is only missing the artifact scanner of ATiTool. The EVGA program is just a cut down version of it.
