Just curious, is it okay to update my drivers while my video card is OC'd? I just wanted to make sure before I did the updates, so I don't damage anything. I'm using RivaTuner to OC.

I would suggest taking the time to underclock the card back to the normal level and then re-overclock them again.. but really, OC'ing is obviously not very good for the life of the card. What card do you have and what games are you playing on it? I can see it's an Nvidia card just because of Rivatuner, but I'm just wondering if you are truly seeing a benefit from the OC.
Yeah, what linkin said.
I wouldn't bother OCing tbh, and underclock if something starts going wrong, but thats just me.
The safest way would be to underclock, update, then re-OC.
I underclocked it back to stock and updated the drivers. I don't think I'm going to bother OC'ing again anyways, there wasn't a huge performance increase; besides, Rivatuner doesn't support these drivers yet anyways.
I'm running an 8800GT. Easy as hell to overclock. I had it cranked up pretty high, but only gained probably an average of 10FPS through all the games I play.
