Anybody tried the new 169.13 drivers ?

Hi,
The new 169.13 beta have been released yesterday. They're available from laptopvideo2go forums. People are already praising their performance increase.

I gave them a try and first thing I noticed is that I can't overclock my GPU with RivaTuner anymore, just like 169.09.

Please let me know if you were successful at o/clocking with 169.13, perhaps with another software ?

On a (somewhat) related note, has anyone tried ATITool 0.27 Beta 4? I noticed a new version, so I installed it, and for some reason, I can't overclock my memory anymore, it'll set to the default of 600, regardless of what I enter. Anyone else notice this? The core overclocks fine, and I was using 169.04 before and after installing beta 4.

Sounds like nVidia is starting to lock their drivers down

Weird 'cause I read in other forums (InCrysis or Guru3D) that people could overclock with it.
Same thing with the 169.09; some couldn't o/c, some could.
