PowerStrip provides advanced, multi-monitor, programmable hardware support to a wide range of graphics cards - from the venerable Matrox Millennium I to the latest ATI X1950 Crossfire and NVidia Quad-SLI 7900. It is in fact the only program of its type to support multiple graphics cards from multiple chipset vendors, simultaneously, under every Windows operating system from Windows 95 to the x64-bit edition of Vista. A simple menu that pops up from the system tray provides access to some 500 controls over your display hardware, including sophisticated color correction tools, period level adjustments over screen geometry, and driver independent clock controls.

    Clumsy interface but excellent tool to properly create your own custom resolutions (priceless feature for advanced retrogamers).

    This tool is completely unneeded with the latest card and drivers.

    Anyway, who would want to register this program if there's nowhere to find if your card is supported anyway.

    @lswinney:
    Then please stop trolling around BETAnews and ne'er return. What, honestly, is the point of your "review"?

    PowerStrip is, in my experience, the most powerful graphics card tweaker. Great UI, regularly updated, and just plain works.

    That said, I run NVidia cards, so I generally just use NVHardPage.

    With this I was able to get my Mitsubishi HTDV at a proper 1200x666 resolution. Now the desktop is perfectly shown on TV at 720p.
