Where is a OC'ng program for Vid Cards?

I am trying to oc my videocard (MSI Geforce 4 Ti4800SE) but the software on the cd is with the drivers and they suck... I was wondering where a videocard oc'ing program is?

Thanks guys.

Make a registry file called nvctrl.reg
then paste this information into it..

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak]
"CoolBits"=dword:ffffffff
"NvCplEnableRotatePage"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv\Device0]
"NvCplEnableHardwarePage"=hex:01,00,00,00
"NvCplCpqConfiguration"=hex:01,00,00,00
"NvCplEnablenForcePage"=hex:01,00,00,00

Or try this link (But press RMB and save file to location)
ftp://file2.mydrivers.com/display/nvctrl.reg

then run the registry file and then check the nvidia control panel you will then have options for overclocking :)

And heres some tips for other tweaking setting for the control panel.

lol any easier ways haha?

But thanks anyways.

yes, download that reg file, double click it, then go to the display settings advanced tab and you'll have a couple of nice sliders to play with.

It's as easy as downloading another program, running and playing with the sliders in that.. :rolleyes:

Any tools like this for radeons?

Thanx homie! ;)

np :D

I downloaded it, then it asked me if I would like to open it or add it to my registry, I did. Still no oc'ing tabs... Hmmm.

Perhaps Nvidia has changed there drivers so the registry files doesnt work anymore??

This program seems interesting, give it a try

Or try rivatuner that should have an overclocking utility with it.

Jolly good there Nest!!! Two thumbs up its a great program!

oops something went totally wrong with the documenting right there... lol all good though.

Does CoolBits not work for the newer Nvidias anymore?
That was easy to apply :)

Now... Whats a good strategy for oc'ing videocards? Go up a little bit each time?

Thanks for your help guys.

that's about it, go up a little bit, test with some 3d intensive applications, 3dmark03 is pretty good at showing up any instability, especially the 'mother nature' test, repeat.

Yeah i agree with fondie try moving the slider 5 at a time and testing i normally move the core and memory settings in sync and then when i get artifacts i lower it 10 then move one slider on its own till i get artifacts and lower it 5..

Core is more important for overall speed than memory (i think).

I eventually got my old MSI GF4 ti4200 to core 300 and memory 600 ;)
