So I just updated my gpu drivers to 340.43 beta and when I try to OC the settings just wont stay there! They go back to the default immediately. Any ideas?

I hit this too. Anyone know a workaround beyond reverting to the previous NVidia driver?

This is not the driver... this is ASUS GPU Tweak bug 😞

I still can OC by using MSI Afterburner 3.0.1 and 340.43 Beta...

senttel, here is the Nvidia feedback thread for 340.43, you could report the problem to Nvidia - it is a BETA 🙂

You might want to upgrade your Asus Tweak Tool to get OC back with latest Nvidia drivers:

Asus GPU Tweak for Graphics Cards, currently at release 2.6.4.0 for the G750JW/JX/JH

Guys, it is a bit more than buggy Asus Tweak Tool for Graphics (G750JH), because MSI Afterburner isn't reading the Core mhz and I have to bump up the memory clock way above the +320 I usually need to to get 6275mhz - at +630 gets me there now.

I have 340.43 BETA installed and Asus Tweak Tool didn't want to show readings, and the monitoring dialog froze, on the 2 most recent versions, so I moved to Afterburner 3.0.1beta

I dialed in the memory frequency offset by watching the actual setting in GPU-Z Sensors tab to see the current memory clock frequency. I ran a CUDA job in the background to max out the GPU/memory clocks - you could do the same with a game in a window...

Yeah, looking through the NVidia thread looks like they acknowledge it as an issue, at least a moderator did:
"Thanks. Bug filed. "

Hope for a swift resolution. For the moment I will take a break from a heavily mod'ed Skyrim using the RealVision enb full preset...which works smooth as silk overclocked and like stuttering sludge without it.

Enjoying Dark Souls classic in the meantime with dsfix and texture updates that helps update the game a bit.

Can you please post a copylink to the thread?

Did you try MSI Afterburner?, works fine so far, with that memory tweak weirdness - at least while running CUDA jobs GPU-Z is showing the correct memory/GPU speeds.
