Here's 2 screen shots of my NVIDIA Control Panel.
I have definitely seen an improvement on 196.21 x64 drivers
Thumbs up to NVIDIA

Do you by any chance use precision to OC your GPU? If so, then check to see if the "shader clock" option is grayed out or not. it appears grayed out in my case, I can't move the slider, and the unlink option is disabled too.

I thought that was only for EVGA GPU's?

If i really wanted to, I could download it, install, and see what I can post here for you, if you were that interested?

Btw..I don't OC my GPU's, they're already factory OC, and quite happy with their performance.

I'm using it as i type this ...will post screen shots soon. Version 1.90

Precision Utility (EVGA) Version 1.90
Screen shots show
#1 GPU Shader Clock is grayed out
#2 GPU Shader Clock is grayed out

Core Clock is adjustable
Memory Clock is adjustable
Fan speed is set to Auto, but I can disable AUTO

Hope this helps.

be careful when updating to these drivers and keep a copy of the old ones handy. we are seeing a lot of users experiencing issues with nvidia cards recently and i suspect this driver to be the cause

as originally mentioned in my previous post, i think NVIDIA needs to release another update to address the issue of Shader Clock adjustments

overall, I'm ok here.

There are MANY posts in the nVidia Forums about the problems people are experiencing.

Thanx for the info grimreaper.

I"ve also verified that a lot of people are having that issue, and reverting to the previous forceware is the only alternative.

Unwinder, the guy who developed Rivatuner, and also Precision for EVGA is looking in to it and seems to have found a workaround to it. For more info visit the thread: 196.21 WHQL Breaks AB and Precision... - Guru3D.com Forums

Update: EVGA Precicion 1.9.1 has now been released to fix the 196.21 forceware bug.... EVGA | EVGA Precision | EVGA Precision
