Exclamation Nvclock and geforce 6800?


I have a geforce 6800 (from point-of-view).I installed nvidias drivers allright and all the games run very smooth(ut2k4 rtcw etc) I wanna overclock my card so i downloaded via cvs the well known nvclock.It works fine BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE SPEEDS!!! Look @ that
"
[root@localhost root]# nvclock -f -c1 -m750 -n350
NVClock v0.7

Requested memory speed: 750.000 MHz
Requested core speed: 350.000 MHz
nVidia Geforce 6800
Memory speed: 702.000 MHz
Core speed: 324.000 MHz

[root@localhost root]# nvclock -f -s
NVClock v0.7

Card: nVidia Geforce 6800
Card number: 1
Memory speed: 702.000 MHz
Core speed: 324.000 MHz
"

The same happens whit nvclock_gtk. No errors like segfaults etc.It just doesn't overclock! Why???Has anyone managed to oc a 6800?How?What am i doing wrong?

Support for the 6800 in NVClock is very primitive, it's unlikely you'll get that OCing. Also, the 6800 and FX series have a special feature in them that changes clock speeds when you go from 2D/3D mode, and it resets the clock speeds during that. NVClock hasn't found a way around that yet.
