Hi
I have a GeForce 7900GS using the drivers 169.21 (6.14.11.6921).
Whenever I overclock the card using RivaTune or Nvidia Control Panel, I lose the settings on reboot and it returns to the default (core=500, memory=690).

Any idea how to deal with this? It's pretty frustrating because I bought this card after reading it was a solid overclocker.

Thanks!
JSK

It's because you are doing driver level overclocks.

Use Rivatuner to enable the OC on Windows Startup or create launchers for it.

Restarting clears a driver level OC.
