What did you use before Evil mate?

I want to give these a go, for DX10 very high but..if nhancer and riva don't work, I gotta modify both program's code and that's such a pain in the ass.


EDIT: Nhancer 2.3.2 out..woohoO!

Yes, everything was going well until I brought up Riva and got the dreaded not supported message. Yet I ignore it, then I goto set my clocks, and unfortunatley...the 3d Performance won't separate from the 2d setting.

Everytime I set say 630 core, then go and check the 2d, it's also 630. I set it to something like 550, then my 3d performance goes back down to 550. And yes, I did tell it to differentiate the 2d/3d settings.

Going to go back to 2.06 beta.
