I have an nVidia 7200 GS PCI-E card that is currently working fine in my PC. Gigabyte made the card and gave me software called V-Tuner 3 as a way to overclock the card. I've heard OK reviews about the software but I cannot get it to work. I get an error message when the software is run saying "Failed Readindata".

Gigabyte hasn't got a clue as to how to solve this. I have it currently running on a fresh install of windows, up to date drivers, etc. This is after trying it with old drivers, on an older installation of windows XP with the same error message.

While it's primarily a video issue, it may be the software and unfortunately the mobo (new Biostar P4M900-M4). "readindata" errors are way over my head.

Anyone have a clue? If this belongs in another forum category please let me know.

Thanks

That card may not be overclockable or has a fail safe for it? Or you may be setting it far to high , so it automatically rejects the new settings as a failsafe.

I actually wouldn't recommend overclocking it. I really think you won't see the slightest difference with an overclocked 7200 then you would a stock 7200. And you would be risking overheating for almost no perfrmance increase. Usually you want to overclock mid to high range cards as they will return better result and have proper coolers on them so they don't overheat.

Thanks for the reply.

You're probably right about not wasting my time with OC'ing this but Gigabyte shipped the software with the card. They feel that it can be played with to some degree.

The software looks interesting. I wish could at least try it.

Yes does look very pretty, but would still just leave it at stock speeds. They most likely ship that software with all of there products.
