RivaTuner is a powerful tweaking utility for NVIDIA based cards. All series of Detonator drivers have a lot of undocumented registry entries. Some of them don't affect anything, but some are very useful. In general they cannot give you big performance boots but they can improve image quality and solve some compatibility problems. This utility will help you to change all undocumented registry entries.

    i experience some of the bugs mentioned as fixed in patch notes. while i moved to ATI very recently and wont be testing this latest release, the previous releases were top notch. this release, assuming it doesnt create new bugs, is a must for anyone running RT.

    subtracted 1 star due to its huge learning curve relative to most other gfx programs. it took me weeks to figure out all the ins and outs of the program, and while there is sometimes decent documentation on what RT can do and how to do it, i found googling more beneficial than RT's actual help and walkthroughs.

    for ATI cards, Ati Tray Tools is a much better app due to its more simplistic nature and doing a majority of the more common features RT does. ATT lacks a G15 plugin which is the only thing i really miss from RT (though i have a seperate G15 plugin called WVS that supports ATT but it is a little buggy)

    Ok Sativarg & Durden500-- I respect your opinions.

    I guess there's a price to pay for using RivaTuner-- just like the stereotypical great byob restaurant that's located in a hard to find location w/ perhaps inconvenient access. It's hard to fathom that for such an advanced / technically superior app...eehhh...

    I've actually just been bit with a hankering to see how much i can accomplish with Riva, esp. on Vista, on a couple of systems-- will set aside some time to devote to that.

    Feature rich it is indeed. Intuitive it certainly isn't. Have not got he patience to wade through its humongous amount of features when its slimmer, compact and more agile sibling EVGA precision can do what I need in a simple, uncluttered way.
