Default RivaTuner not detecting hardware acceleration for games

i have a strange problem since i last installed Riva tuner.
when idle i run the under clocked profile and when i start for example Furmark the hardware acceleration goes from 0 to 1 and the oc profile kicks in. this works perfectly with furmark, but when i run a game it doesent work anymore, i always have to switch back to the desktop and activate the profile manually. it used to work perfect when i last did that.
any idea what could be the problem?

here is a picture how it works when i start Furmark:

Though I have a ati card, I've never had those hardware acceleration graphs work..

you need the RivaTuner Statistics Server running for them, if i get it working again i might write a little tutorial how to do it if there is enough interest for it.

found the problem, seems like 64bit applications dont trigger the hardware acceleration... so i need to enable the oc profile manually for them:/
