This is probably going to be a fairly long winded first post. So consider yourself warned.
I recently upgraded from Windows XP 32bit to Windows Vista 64bit. I know roughly what limits my card had under Windows XP. I used to be able to clear 620 on the core and over 1000 on the memory (BTW could someone let me know what the frequency steps are for core and memory on an 8800 GTS 320Meg?). However since moving over to vista I've had numerous problems overclocking my card. I've tried all the standard overclocking utilities (ntune, ATiTool, rivatuner, even expertools). at first I wasn't able to overclock at all. Now though after updates to the tools and drivers I can at least access the clock speeds. However I don't have full control over the core clock speeds. I can overclock a bit so that I reach 590 on the core. I can set anything I was withing acceptable values on memory and it's fine. However if I go even 1MHz over that value the overclock values revert right back to stock values when applied and the fan speed reverts back to automatic.
Second issue related to this. After having these troubles I've decided to simply do a flash of the card itself using nibitor. However when I try to load my card as the device it says it fails: Cannot load driver: 1275. So that seems to be out.
I'd rather not have to dual boot for the minimals gains that I'd get from this, but it's perplexing. I may consider throwing the card into another system that also has an 8800GTS in it and flash it from that system, but I don't like all these problems I've been having and wouldn't mind some help and answers as to why these troubles are coming up. User account access control is of so I have full control. And I've gone through to ignore code signing for device drivers. I may have forgotten some info here so if anyone needs more info before they can give a reasonable response let me know.
I really appreciate this.
Thanks.
