A neat way to overclock your Nvidia GeForce

[DodgyDave]

BECAREFUL
Open registry
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak
Create new DWORD Value called 'coolbits' and give it a hex value of 3.
Next time you open up the advanced settings.
You can now see 'clock frequency settings, change to manual and 3D Performance.
You can now let it over clock itself and then tune yourself testing till you reach the max!
Have fun :D

I can't see the option for clockspeed on mine.

Perhaps my geforce ti-4200 is too old?

[DodgyDave]

strange, i thought it would work on any!
And its definatly not under the Nvidia tab when in advanced settings?
Also did you restart?

[hedders]

No, i didn't restart..but i have now.

It's not there

Only works on the ForceWare drivers version 30(?) onwards I think - you may have to update your driver in that case.

There is a little app that'll do this reg change for you - have a look on 3DGuru and you'll find it

Sounds like that could be it, Ive done it on different versions but were all quite late ones.

Hope you sort it

A few of the cards can be BIOS upgraded to different cards... I have made my 5900 into a 5900 Ultra like this. No need to set any overclock settings or anything then.

Shame it's still a Geforce FX, so is still rubbish.
