This application package replaces all previous versions of the NVIDIA System Utility or NVIDIA nTune. Earlier versions of the application should be uninstalled
and the system rebooted prior to installation of this package.
Support for the advanced features of the NVIDIA nTune requires vendor specific setup files that are not included with this package. Please contact your motherboard or system vendor for the correct files to enable this functionality.
Here are some key features of "nVidia nTune":
· New and improved task-driven user interface.
· Adjust motherboard settings: Change system clocks, system voltages, system fans and memory timings.
· Adjust GPU settings: Change GPU clocks and fans.
· Dynamic BIOS access: Change system BIOS settings without entering the BIOS!†
· Automated system tuning: Optimize system performance with the click of a button.
· Custom rules: Provides the ability to customize the circumstances under which different system settings get applied.
· Pre-built profiles/rules: Provide a quick path to getting the best performance when needed.
· Event logging: Allows the tracking of bus speeds, temperatures, voltages, and profile changes in a log file that may be imported to a spreadsheet application for indepth analysis.
· Fall-back control: Provides the ability to identify the precise profile/rule associated with a crash (profile/rule will be disabled after crash).
· Improved dynamic overclocking: Provides on-the-fly overclocking and BIOS configuration within an easy-to-use Windows interface that is streamlined and simplified for better user understanding.
