Even if its a difference of 10mhz, you should at least be able to run your card at the speed promised. Anyway, running my cards at stock speeds makes no difference, I still get the NSR message in certain games.Originally posted by: Mem

Good observation, but the pattern i see is that the AT rigs feature has been broken for years, so the only way to update your rigs is delete the old ones & add new ones...which only works sometimes (i managed to get it to work after trying about 10 times :frown: )
IOW, Mem might be running an 8800...but maybe he's not gaming enough...you don't notice the problems w/o a lot of gaming i've found.
I have changed my ISP and PSU from my main rig (as you know can't edit at moment),but still running 7800GT card.
I'm holding off until next gen of cards,why change now when its all running sweet (at least for me) oh and I don't overclock at all, so don't know if that comes into the equation too.
Btw my factory shipped OC 7800GT card will give me that error message(nvlddmkm stopped responding( at factory default OC speed,I had reduce OC a little,however I had to do same thing in XP with this card even before I installed Vista,thats why I said try reducing OC on your video card even factory shipped ones,works for me FYI only 10mhz underclock so technically still overclocked 7800GT card.
I had the problem since Nov 05 ,ever since I installed the 7800GT factory OC card in XP,took me awhile to figure it was the OC on the video card causing the problem,however once I underclocked it there was np,when I installed Vista I just underclocked it to same speed as XP,I could send it back I guess as a faulty card ,but can't be bothered over 10mhz.
