OCing 9800GT With Rivatuner
Hey everyone
It's been awhile since I posted anything here on Icrontic but I've come across something I think you guys can help me with.
I got an nVidia GeForce 1gb 9800 GT for Christmas and have been experimenting with OCing it (why the heck not? It's a great card). I really only have experience OCing with ATItool and my old ATI Radeon X1300; I know it's a big step up
I've managed to teach myself the basics of Rivatuner and have all my profiles loaded and it works perfectly. Standard 2d is set to 350/700/110 and switches to 663/1480/975 for high performance 3d. It'll work fine for about 5 minutes with the temp only getting to about 55c but then it'll switch back to 2d settings.
Does anyone here know why it reverts? It's not possible to change it back once it does....
It's really horrible. Going from 40fps to 8 because it reverts to 2d settings
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Try forcing the card's fan to run at a high % duty cycle in Rivatuner. If that doesn't help, try reducing the clock speeds in your 3D profile - if the card is crashing because it's overclocked too far, dropping back a bit will help.
I was also getting a strange monitor purple and blue fuzz at start up before I lowered the settings (I'm using the lower settings now)
Any idea what component is causing it to GPU reset? Clock, Shader, Memory?
Nothing in my monitoring indicates I'm pushing it too far....
55c at load means you have plenty of headroom in the temps department, so your overclock must be the culprit.
What do you mean by lower settings? Did you set everything back to stock?
Current OC 3D settings are 550/900 from 500/900. Shader doesn't show up after updating my Nvidia software though
You problem was probably that your overclock was too high, so going back to your previous drivers won't hurt.
Atleast now it loads properly when playing physx enabled games. Just won't let me change the settings without it resetting the sliders
Time to wait....
Up to 710/1500/900 right now with the temp only spiking at 57c....will post some benchmark scores soon
57C under load?
