download: NVIDIA BIOS Editor (NiBiTor) v5.8 (595.70KB) added: 07/10/2010 clicks: 100 description: 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.You may wonder why updates are not released sooner, so you could start tweaking your new cards faster. The answer isn't that simple since we try to provide the best towards tweaking your video card. That means we need your input, as such we are now coding a next version that caters for the items raised and be available exclusively to contributors. And yes, we now have an exclusive version available with fan speed tweaking enabled. Now you might say that is great, but where is that version which has support for the GeForce GTS 450? Well you are right to ask that question, and that version is available as of today too to who is donating through the ChipIn module for the further development of the NiBiTor software. And yes, we are now working to add other tweaks for Fermi based cards such as fan speed but this is still ongoing. Do you own one of the Fermi based graphics card and want to tweak it according to your liking through some BIOS changes, than don't wait any longer and just download it now. And do keep supporting us through a simple ChipIn donation. Changes in this Version Added GeForce GTX 460 Added GeForce GTX 480M 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. |

download: NVIDIA Inspector 1.92 (136.46KB) added: 16/09/2010 clicks: 96 description: NVIDIA Inspector is a handy application that reads out driver and hardware information for GeForce graphics cards The nVIDIA Inspector Tool is basically an nVIDIA only GPU-Z utility but with a decent OverClocking feature and you can set your clocks and fan speeds. Orbmu2k has released this program, which seems to NVIDIA graphics cards and offers information on tools for GPU and memory clock speed, GPU operating voltage and fan speed increase. This is a quite simple user interface with an application that will rely entirely NVIDIA drivers, so there is reason to be downloaded from NVIDIA's website WHQL-certified driver. The program offers roughly the same information as the GPU-Z program, but with a few extra spice box. |

download: eVGA Precision 2.0.0 (1.72MB) added: 10/09/2010 clicks: 109 description: EVGA Precision allows you to fine tune your GeForce graphics card for the maximum performance possible, with Core/Shader/Memory clock tuning, real time monitoring support including in-game, Logitech Keyboard LCD Display support, and compatibility with almost all EVGA (and other) graphics cards. EVGA Precision v2.0.0 (09-08-2010) * Added software automatic fan control mode allowing end users to define custom temperature to fan speed mapping curve * Added floating tooltips based help system for advanced EVGA Precision settings window * Now it is possible to pause hardware monitoring module via "Pause" command in the context menu of hardware monitoring window * Performance profiler status information is no longer power user oriented, now it is possible to toggle the performance profiler status visibility directly via "Show status" command in the context menu of hardware monitoring window * Now it is possible to clear hardware monitoring history via "Clear history" command in the context menu of hardware monitoring window * Now it is possible to get directly into hardware monitoring graph properties by clicking a tray icon associated with it or via "Properties" command in the context menu of hardware monitoring window * Added Multilanguage system and sample Russian localization pack * Added SDK folder containing reference guide documentation for third party EVGA Precision skin and localization creators * Now core clock controls are displayed on GeForce 400 series if built-in skins are in use. Please take a note that it is still impossible to adjust core and shader clocks independently on these cards due to GPU architecture limitations * Now it is possible to use both core and shader clock as the primary clock when adjusting the clocks in linked mode * Removed some outdated options from advanced EVGA Precision settings window * Framerate monitoring graph limits have been changed to [0,100] FPS * Fan tachometer monitoring graph limits have been changed to [0,5000] RPM * Fixed videomemory usage monitoring for non-primary NVIDIA graphics cards * Added ability to assign a hotkey for toggling the On-Screen Display Server blocking. This hotkey is aimed to provide a simple way for diagnosing the server related compatibility issues * Now EVGA Precision uses previously undocumented power user oriented DirectInput based hotkey handler. New hotkey handling mechanism drastically reduces hotkey response time in applications heavily loading CPU. Please take a note that new sophisticated hotkeys handling can cause some system security applications (e.g. KIS proactive defense module) to warn you about possible keylogging threat * Now screen capture events are also indicated by notification messages in the hardware monitoring window |

download: MSI Afterburner 1.6.1 (4.36MB) added: 07/07/2010 clicks: 175 description: * Added NVIDIA GeForce GTX 400 series graphics cards support (including voltage control!) * Added voltage control for MSI N240GT Low Profile series graphics cards * Changed marketing name for MSI R5670-PD512 in hardware database * Added basic screen capture support by means of built-in screen capture engine of MSI On-Screen Display server. Now it is possible to assign the hotkey for capturing screenshots in BMP,PNG or JPG formats on desktop, in DirectX or in OpenGL applications * Added hardware monitoring history logging support. Now MSI Afterburner is able to save history in native RivaTuner Hardware Monitoring Log file format. The log files captured with MSI Afterburner can be viewed in any text editor like Notepad or in graphics form in RivaTuner's HML file viewer (RivaTuner must be installed for viewing log files in graphics form) * Added new safety option allowing forcing constant voltage on some cards with voltage regulators supporting programmable dynamic voltage management (e.g. VT1165 or uP6266). New safety option may improve stability on some systems a well as provide power state independent voltage control on the systems with non-standard voltage control implementation * Screen capture and On-Screen Display hotkey events are now being processed via direct connection to the On-Screen Display server instead of command line. Due to this change Screen capture and On-Screen Display visibility control hotkeys are being processed faster now * MSI On-Screen Display server has been upgraded to version 3.7.1. New server gives you a lot of improvements including: * DirectX11 On-Screen Display and screen capture support * DirectX screen capture engine is no longer using DirectX runtimes to capture and compress screenshots. Screen capture and compression to PNG/JPG formats in DirectX applications is now handled by own more effective LIBPNG/JPEGLIB based library * PNG and JPG screen capture support for desktop and OpenGL applications * Adjustable JPG screen capture quality for experienced users * Screen capture support for DirectX10 and DirectX11 applications using multisampled antialiasing or non-standard frame buffer formats (e.g. sRGB) * Optional On-Screen Display 3D rendering mode. New mode uses 3D accelerated DirectX functions to emulate previously used 2D framebuffer access functions and render 2D text. New rendering mode provides On-Screen Display support in DirectX10 and DirectX11 applications using multisampled antialiasing and can also drastically reduce OSD related performance hit on the systems with badly optimized 2D acceleration in display drivers * Simplified On-Screen Display coordinate space settings. Rarely used desktop and window coordinate space modes have been merged into single framebuffer coordinate space mode * Now the server automatically selects framebuffer coordinate space instead of viewport coordinate space when viewport is not accessible (e.g. if pure Direct3D8 device is in use) * Improved application notification scheme during runtime profiles adjustment. Now runtime changes in OSD application profiles (e.g. OSD zoom ratio change on the fly) are reflected in affected application almost immedaitely instead of approximately 1 second delay in the previos versions * Reduced runtime skin engine memory footprint due to dynamic skin storage unloading * Improved race condition protection system for multithreaded 3D engines (e.g. Age of dragons : Origins and ArmA II) * Improved race condition protection system for the systems running multiple OSD applications simultaneously (e.g. OSD server, FRAPS and STEAM In-Game Chat) * Improved floating injection address hooking technology. Due to more advanced built-in code analyzer hooks can be injected deeper into 3D application code if stealth mode is enabled. These changes improve stealth mode compatibility with third party tools using similar stealth injection technologies (e.g. FRAPS v2.9.8 and newer) * Now stealth mode cannot be toggled during 3D application runtime to reduce the risk of crashing 3D application * Removed single screen capture per second limitation * Updated profiles list * Now MSI Afterburner distributive includes original 128x128 PNG application logo (stored in .Graphics folder) for dockbar applications like RocketDock or ObjectDock * It is no longer necessary to close the application to save monitoring window attachment state * [Stop the task if it runs longer than 3 days] option is no longer set in the task settings when using alternate startup mode via the task scheduler under Windows Vista / Windows 7 * Full list active of On-Screen Display server clients is now displayed in window instead of the most recent client * Floating tooltips help system is now reinitialized properly after runtime skin switching * Added Ukrainian localization [Kombustor v1.0.10 Changelog] * Bugfix: when PCB1 temperature was enabled in Afterburner OSD, the PCB temperature was copied in GPU temperture. * Bugfix: in ATI cards indexing. The sorting is now the same than Afterburner. * Bugfix: config file was not properly loaded when Kombustor is launched from Afterburner. |
