    Windows thinks i have a different GPU

    i think im going to give up overclocking the GPU as being a bad job. thanks for all the help - you have inadvertantly solved several other of my problems, but i think its probably going to be too much hassle for very little gain. Thanks anyway :)

    Windows thinks i have a different GPU

    OK, ive tried ATITool, and it wont run: windows wont install the drivers, they are unsigned apparently, and accordingly, when ATITool runs, the kernel mode driver doesnt work. Ive found one person who says that running "bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" in command prompt should...

    Windows thinks i have a different GPU

    Ok, thanks for the help :) Ill have a look at ATITool, and get back to you. and what would you reccomend doing about the drivers- would there be a specific GS driver that i could download and use somewhere?

    Windows thinks i have a different GPU

    Im 75% confident that its a GS, because firstly the sticker on the front (from NVidia) says it is, as well as after running a full-screen 3D app CPU-Z tells me that the current GPU clocks are at (core) 530 (shaders) 1325 and (memory) 799. (Despite the fact that the "name" feild clearly says...

    Windows thinks i have a different GPU

    high performance mode only changes the limeters on performance, not the actual current values. However, with a fullscreen game running (forcing the video card to go to full clocks) , and then doing the scan in the background, it still tells me i have a 9800M GT. NVidia then tells me to...

    Windows thinks i have a different GPU

    hrm, upon loading the "automatic driver finder" thing, on the nvidia site, it prompts me to run the system requirements lab software from www.srtest.com, which i already know thinks i have the GT. Upon finishing the scan, nvidia also determines that i have the GT version. I am at a loss as to...

    Windows thinks i have a different GPU

    I have an Asus G50VT-X1, which has a rather interesting problem (as far as i can tell, all X1's have this). Windows sincerely believes that it contains an NVidia 9800M GT, when it actually has a 9800M GS (CPU-Z can confirm this with clock speeds, referenced to www.notebookcheck.com, as well as...
