Hi guys,

I've made a patch using code from Mikes and seek. My patch makes more use of code already in NVClock. It therefore works, for the user, the same as with older GeForce 7xxx cards. This means that you have to supply a percentage instead of just a value. Because of this I had to choose a 0% value. Right now it's at 256 or 0x80000100. This might be to high, feel free to change :).

You can apply the patch on a clean NVClock 0.8b3 tarball, which you can find on the NVClock homepage.

I had to add the device id of my graphics card in the soure code. If your graphics card is not recognized as a NV5X card, add your device id in the code.
