Download link: NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v6.0 (116)

We have has just released a new version of NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) software. NiBiTor is the original and definitive BIOS tweaker that supports the latest NVIDIA graphics cards, and which is updated on a regular basis. NiBiTor allows graphics card enthusiasts, or the hardcore overclockers to have full control over some advanced features and functionality found on firmware of supporting cards. And doing so users gain some extra performance, enable certain hidden features, tweaking memory latencies, provide extensive information, adapt bootup settings, changing fan speed options and/or get extra stability on their NVIDIA based graphics accelerators which will just give them that little extra value.

For those who already own one of these just released GeForce GTX 560 graphics cards, don’t dispere but make a donation and we will grant you exclusively the next version which does support these already. Also the fan speed that can be tweaked by changing the minimum and maximum settings, so we did get that also already fully unlocked. And yes, we are now working to add other tweaks by analyzing more original BIOS’s which you can provide us. Do you own one of these Fermi based graphics cards and want to tweak it according to your liking through some BIOS changes, than don’t wait any longer but download it now.

Changes in this Version

• Added GeForce GTX 580
• Added GeForce GTX 570
• Added GeForce GT 140
• Added GeForce GTX 460M
• Added GeForce GT 240M

This new version is build upon the logic of the previous version, with some minor fixes and a redesign to support as well unknown devices in some limited way. As always for extra features, settings and support please provide us your original BIOS, so that we can use it as reference to analyze the changes and to code the approriate support of the new video card or new features accordingly.
