    Hey guys.
    I need some help in trying to look for contemporary software that allows you to OC a gpu (namely since I use a 9600m GT, I'd need a program capable of OC-ing it).
    I tried nTune (keep getting BSOD's - though truth be told older version might work fine), but it's also not really adequate because it, RivaTuner, AtiTool and whatnot are completely out of date.
    RivaTuner and the rest do not recognize proper clocks or simply refuse to work at all.

    Apart from flashing the gpu bios to higher clocks (which I'm considering), is there another method to OC the card with software?

    Yeah.
    I found it about 30 mins after posting the original entry.
    Seems to be Nvidia updated nTune after all.

    But I think I will do a bios flash of my gpu all the same to get it over with permanently.
    The clocks I use are stable, there's no overheating of any kind (in fact, even with the OC the temps are lower than they were with stock clocks because of the undervolt I flashed into the gpu BIOS), and already flashed it before for testing purposes (which worked nicely).
    Software OC while ok, can be a bit problematic.
