GPU Overclock Returns To Factory!

[DJ Tucker]

ok so i'm overclocking my 9800GT's and having a little problem. as the title says when i get a successful overclock and restart my PC the cards return to factory spec.

these are the factory spec:
Core - 600mhz
Shader - 1500mhz
Memory - 900mhz

these are what i overclock to:
Core - 650mhz
Shader - 1625mhz
Memory - 1000mhz

anyway that i can get this overclock to stay like this whenever i use my pc!

thx guys!

Get EVGA's Precision software, set the clocks and check to set clocks on startup.

Are you using rivatuner to OC the cards?

I use rivatuner and have it run on start-up and it keeps my OC settings just fine. Then I just check them with GPU-z.

There's no way I'm aware of to overclock 2 video cards with Precision. Care to elaborate?

The latest version is 1.51. Multi-GPU support was added in 1.50.

EVGA Precision v1.5.0 (2009-03-06)

* New multi-GPU systems control approach. Now Precision gives you independent access to thermal monitoring, overclocking and fan control settings of all GPUs installed in the system regardless of SLI mode status. Please take a note that the previous version settings and profiles are not compatible with version 1.5.0 and will be lost.
* Added new green and dark skin editions.
* New skin format v1.1 adds bitmap effects support to the skin compiler. Now skin creators can use new technology to simplify skin creation process and easily create different color editions of the same skin by applying various color tuning effects to the same bitmaps during compilation. Built-in blue, violet, green and dark skin editions are based on new technology, so it is recommended to use these skins as bitmap effects usage tutorials.
* Added multi-GPU core, shader and memory clocks and fan speeds monitoring.
* SLI mode status is detected dynamically and displayed properly in system info when SLI mode is being toggled on the fly during Precision runtime.
* Now Precision displays graphics processor codename in system info.
* Fixed memory clock monitoring for G98 graphics processors family.
* Now Precision is able to detect memory clock frequency generator switching to PCIE bus clock and display correct idle 100MHz memory clock frequency on GeForce 9 and older series graphics cards.
* Added -profile0 ... -profile9 command line switches for loading the profiles.
* EVGA On-Screen Display Server has been updated to version 3.1.2. New server provides improved compatibility with SecuRom protected games when high application detection level is selected and fixes issues with starting the server with no server icon displayed in the system tray area under certain conditions.
* Various internal code cleanups and optimizations.

EVGA Precision is written by Underwriter (same guy who makes RivaTuner) it's just the layman's version of the application.

Guess I need to stay on top of new versions a little better. Thanks for the info!

Changelog:

* Now Precision monitoring window can be detached from the main form allowing the user to define custom monitoring window position and size. Double click attached monitoring window to detach it from the main form, double click it one more time or simply close it to attach it back.
* Now Precision provides multi-GPU control for the systems with up to 8 NVIDIA GPUs to ensure compatibility with future SLI systems and provide support for modern 5-GPU Quad-SLI + PhysX systems.
* Optimized multi-GPU profiles loader drastically reduces profiles load time when GPU synchronization mode is enabled.
* Now Precision always sorts GPUs by PCI location to ensure that GPU indices stay the same in the system regardless of operating system, display driver version and GPU display outputs connection.
* EVGA On-Screen Display Server has been updated to version 3.2.0. Similar to the previous version of Precision, new server also features new skin format v1.1 adding bitmap effects support to the skin compiler.
* Added new black skin edition.
