Currently I have a little script I run to set my overclock before I lauch the game:

#!/bin/sh

nvidia-settings -l
nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=1
nvidia-settings -a GPU2DClockFreqs=350,1261 -a GPU3DClockFreqs=452,1261


Then after I'm done playing I disable the overclock manually by running:

nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=0


What I'd like is a script that will run nvidia-settings then run the game and on exit set my overclock state back to 0. Is this do-able?

I know you can rung nvidia-settings -l to just have it load your settings from ~/.nvidia-settings-rc, but I don't think the overclock settings are stored in that file.

Just edit your script to:

nvidia-settings -l
nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=1
nvidia-settings -a GPU2DClockFreqs=350,1261 -a GPU3DClockFreqs=452,1261
ut2004
nvidia-settings -a GPUOverclockingState=0

It will execute the overclockingstate=0 after ut2004 exits.
