I recently bought an eVGA 7800gt CO with 81.94 drivers. I am running rivatuner 15.7 and all of this on an Asus A8N Sli. The problem I am having is when I first installed the drivers, and riva tuner I start the slow process of overclocking the vid card. After about a day of 5mhz increase in mem spd then running 3d mark 05 then increasing the speed, I pulled off a mem spd of 1200 and core speed of 500. It ran fine for about a week. It would run at 2d settings during normal use then increase to 3d perf. settings during gaming. But after about a week or so, it stopped running at 3d perf, unless I forced it to run at 3d all the time. Like now. It will occasionally jump up to 3d during game play but only for a few minutes, then right back down to 2d settings. I would really like to find out why this is happening and what I need to do to fix it. I have tried reinstalling the drivers, ran CCleaner, Detonator RIP in safe mode before installing and reinstalling drivers. It also did the same thing with the last set of drivers I used, 81.85 abd 71.77 as well.
 
The problem is that drivers I was using were not compatible with Riva Tuner 15.7
Driver version 81.XX or higher are not compatible with the current Riva tuner, as far as keeping 2d settings and perf overclocking seperate.
