Settings won't stick!

Hiyas,
I am using the Omega 6177's with a Chaintech 6600GT. I select auto-overclocking or Manual Overclocking then select "Apply these settings on startup" then apply. After reboot the dot is in the "No Overclocking" again?

What's up with that??

Thanks for any info,
Decon

did you try using a different driver set? the 61.77 (which the omegas are based on) weren't designed for the 6600 series cards.

Hmmm.....Ok I understand that. Ya think that's why they won't stick? In fact my card is referred to as a (Nvidia NV3 Omega 6177).

Thanks for the info.

change to the 66.93 officials to see if it works.

I don't bother with the omegas anymore since there are so many new betas out there that perform better.

Ok thanks will do! I went to the Omegas because I got too lazy to tweak. guess it's time to get back on board.

Thanks,

there are AGP versions of the 6600GT from Aopen, Asus, Gainward, Leadtek, MSI and XFX, and maybe some others too.
