Also (possibly) unrelated, this is what happens to the Overdrive tab in CCC for me, it occasionally flashes to show what should be there, only with blank values. (see attached file) I don't think that should be normal
This is with the Hotfix Driver. I've tried reinstalling it, seems to only be a CCC issue, as the in game performance is solid so I dont think it's in the drivers. I'll try stressing it with the crysis bench and see if maybe it just isn't stable?
Isn't that normal for using Aero Glass in Vista though? I know on my card, monitoring my system with Everest on my G15 LCD, that the GPU speed on my 8800GTX is always at "3D" speed, it never changes. That bugged me until I realized that it must be Aero Glass since the desktop is kinda always in 3D now, if I boot into my XP 32-bit install, I found that being at the desktop there, the GPU was running at "2D" speeds.

In an ideal world, I'd like to be able to do something like run the GPU at something lower, maybe 500Mhz for starters by default, and then when I go to play a game, some app has a profile for that game and kicks in to OC the GPU/RAM.

That said, my 4850s that weren't supposed to show up until Tuesday showed up today So I need to crank out some benchmarks on the old card first just so I have some comparisons between a 4850 and 4850 CF.
