coolbits 2.0 conflicts with rivatuner? please help.

[tantalus]

so i just got an evga 6800 128mb video card. i installed the forceware drivers.

the guy who sold it to me said that it oc'd to 360/770. i tried to get there with rivatuner, but could only get to about 349/713. but then i noticed that the overclocking didn't hold when i restarted my computer.

i did a little digging around, and discovered that when i right-click on the desktop, and go to the nvidia options, i can overclock it that way. but i got even worse overclocking results, and they didn't stick when i restarted my computer.

so i got to thinking -- both of these are software modifications. do they conflict with each other? i uninstalled rivatuner, and used the nv tool to oc up to 361/747. and it sticks when i restart my computer. so far so good.

but now the problem is that i can't enable my hidden shader, b/c rivatuner is uninstalled. can i somehow uninstall the nvidia oc tool, so that i can use rivatuner?

(actually i'm not even sure that the nvidia software is "nvtweak" i didn't have to download anything, it just seem to come with the forceware drivers.)

or am i just wrong about all of this?

thanks.

The nvidia tool in the cpanel is called coolbits 1.0/2.0.
