Fanatic Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 I have a Nvidia 8800 GTS ( yes the one in the sig) and I was wondering if there is a program available for tweaking the card above the customary options that come with the driver. I used to have a Nvidia produced program for overclocking and more tweaking for my 6800, but I can not remember the name or if it is even available for the 8800 GTS / Vista 64. If there is such a program what is it and what is your experience with it (good. bad or indifferent)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhenKittensATK Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) I don't think you can overclock video cards on Vista (unless they changed it). If they haven't changed it, you will need to use XP to do it. My video card overclocking programs are EVGA Precision combined with ATI Tool. EDIT: I must be thinking of something else then. I haven't used Vista since launch. I remember people used to dual boot with Vista and XP, cause they couldn't do something. It's been to long.

Jenova69 Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 Yes you can overclock a video card in Vista what rock do you live under? It's called Rivatuner and i like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatic Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 this wasn't rivatuner. It was like NVtweak or something Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 apart from the GPU, Shader, and GDDR clock speeds (adjustable in RivaTuner), what are you looking to "tweak"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatic Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 The program allowed the adjustment of video, picture quality clock speeds, temps etc.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanatic Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 iucking fdiot I am.....I was in the middle of a FC2 and thought idiot check Guru. Well it turns out what I was thinking of was cool bits and NVtweak together. The problem is it does not show as being Vistax64 compatible.

hardnrg Posted November 27, 2008 Posted November 27, 2008 ok so clock speeds can be adjusted, and temps monitored, with RivaTuner... what video and picture quality adjustments can you not make with the NVidia Control Panel?

Fanatic Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Used to have control over image sharpening, which I no longer have. There were video controls aplenty not just the two tabs I have now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
