Can't you just look in the registry for Core and Mem speeds?!?!

How come nobody knows exact core and mem settings? Can't you just look in the registry?

uh....no.
Clock speeds are coded in the hardware, not the registry.

How do you think overclock programs like powerstrip work, they change the registry settings, at least that's how it is for other graphics cards. I overclocked my TNT by manually changing the registry settings.

How do you think a card can boot into DOS if it never reads the registry. Where do those clock settings come from? Coded in the hardware. I don't know how you had your TnT set up, but my guess is that you had to add registry keys to o/c it, not modify existing ones. Or if your drivers added those keys, they weren't there before the card was. How did the card know what speed to boot up at? Hardware.

Those settings in the hardware (BIOS) can be over-ridden diferent ways. Some can do it through the registry. That doesn't mean that where the default clocks are set.

What about Liew's G200clk or GBM's G4set? Both overclock the G400. Neither touch the registry (both are DOS based). They over-ride the BIOS settings with direct calls to the hardware.

So the answer is still no. There are no clock settings in the registry from the Matrox drivers.
