I think you about covered it ArVee.
After I rebooted my troublesome GTX 460 and reset it to stock settings I haven;t had any more 2D clocking going on. Its running so I am afraid to start adjusting the shaders for the o.c.
It isn't broke so I ain't gonna fix it! lol!!!!
I don;t know if NewSun has tweaked her card or not for increasing the shaders but if so, I would start by being at stock settings and do a reboot without stopping the GPU folding first. Let it just stop when the computer reboots.
That is how I do it.
the best,
