Well, its ATi tool, and your using nVidia. And the newest card there is, even though it does support nVidia cards, I don't think it would support a 8800 card yet.

I think Panda Man is right, you're gonna want to try something like Rivatuner, Coolbits, or NVTweak...

It probably is just vista, the only thing I've gotten working thus far is CCC. Are you sure you have the drivers properly installed for your card? Anyways

NVTweak guide (mini guide really, I got nothing else)

Not sure where to get a guide for NVTray, but it should be self explanatory

My question though, if you want to OC it, why do you only want 614/2000. The difference from 575/1800 would be 2-5 FPS at MOST. It is just not worth it in my opinion to do such a small OC.

ATITool works fine on 8800 videocards, and in fact, that's what I used in both the of the 8800GTS reviews posted last week.

Vista appears to be a PITA in getting OCing programs to work correctly. Assuming you've installed the latest videocard drivers, you may just need to wait for an update for your program of choice.

Indeed. The drivers are still maturing. I updated from the 7.2 cats to the 7.3s and according to windoze, my graphical performance jumped from 4.1 to 5.9. Don't forget that compatibility updates are always being released, I grab them from:
