I have a Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT would like to improve the performance especially with regards to the FPS. Is there some setting on my Nvidia panel that I can modify to change my FPS? Does anyone know of a good overclocking tool that will work the way it should?

Please go ahead and do. I asked you to rephrase so it can be re-opened. However I do not respond to threats, and since you had to stoop to that level, I will not re-open it. If Jeff overrides me I have no issues with it. However I am not going to change my decision on this if your approach is to threaten me. – Diago♦ Nov 12 at 6:59

Because if you are so insistent that I am abusive you should be man enough to do it publicly, and give me a change to provide my side of my duties. Jeff reads Meta, and would publicly comment whether he agrees or not. This is the way the trilogy has always worked. – Diago♦ Nov 12 at 7:09

I use a combination of FurMark and RivaTuner

RivaTuner is a complete powerful tweaking environment, providing you everything you may need to tune NVIDIA GPU based display adapters. The widest driver-level Direct3D / OpenGL and system tuning options, flexible profiling system allowing to make custom settings on per-application basis, both driver-level and low-level hardware access modes, unique diagnostic and realtime hardware monitoring features and exclusive power user oriented tools like built-in registry editor and patch script engine make RivaTuner's feature set absolutely unmatched. RivaTuner supports all NVIDIA display adapters starting from Riva TNT family up to the latest GeForce 7 series and widest range of NVIDIA drivers starting from the oldest Detonator 2.08 up to the newest ForceWare drivers family.

FurMark is a very intensive OpenGL benchmark that uses fur rendering algorithms to measure the performance of the graphics card. Fur rendering is especially adapted to overheat the GPU and that's why FurMark is also a perfect stability and stress test tool (also called GPU burner) for the graphics card.

I would say to start via upgrading the drivers to the latest version as there is usually improvements to FPS when upgrading.

After that, for Nvidia cards, there is a great utility called NVTweak which I have had a bit of success with in the past.
