    I updated and installed the latest beta Nvidia driver from 344.80 to 347.09 for my clevo 970m (thanks to J95 for giving me the "NVMIi" file for MSI) it works flawlessly.. I just noticed something when using afterburner and nvidia inspector, It won't overclock. In afterburner, even if I change the slider and apply the frequency, it reverts to 0. in Nvidia inspector, the sliders is gray'ed out..

    Can someone please help me with this one? Before with 344.80 afterburner works but with this beta driver 347.09 it's not working.. Did I miss something when updating? thanks...

    my nb is an MSI GT 16F3 - Ivy Bridge

    Probably just a coincidence - unlucky combination of hardware/driver; my 680M overclocks happily. Just wait for the next driver - WHQL is a better bet to work.

    I believe I found the same when I updated but have not had much time to test.
