I haven't had any problems with either, although I prefer RivaTuner, in Vista on my 8800. Hmmm...sorry I can't offer anything helpful so I'll just blame it on Vista for now.

ntune won't overclock ur gpu unless u have an nforce motherboard. Its best to wait till ati traytools or rivatuner get a 64bit version.

Is that for Vista only, cause Ntune works on my Intel board with XP.

I see you have a eVGA 680i....i believe that is an nforce motherboard.

Yes, but my other computer (the one I was referring to) has an Intel D975XBX, which is not an Nforce motherboard. Ntune works with non nforce motherboards, it just won't do anything with the motherboard. It can be used for the GPU though. Like how Nvidia monitor show my CPU temp system temp and GPU temp with my 680i board, on my Intel it only shows the GPU temp.

Here's a little screen shot to show it.

To use ATItool or riva tuner you have disable Vista's permission that only allows the use of digitally signed drivers. You can google it.

This process worked until some harddrive updates came out on Windows update. You have to uninstall these 2 updates for the overclocking utilities to work.

I'm not sure if newer updates have also blocked your comp to use non signed drivers. Last I heard it was just the 2 updates, and I have since found Ntune to work so I stopped researching the matter.

Google is your friend goodluck.
