RivaTuner v2.21
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download...4e3c6522abe9b7


Minor bugfixes:

• 
  
• FOURCC INTZ and RAWZ formats are no longer forcibly disabled on GeForce 6 and newer display adapters when closing the 'Textures' tab in Direct3D tweaks dialog. Please take a note that these formats are required for proper GTA IV functionality, so if you experience problems with missing textures in this game on NVIDIA GeForce 6 and newer display adapters then please try to open the 'Textures' tab and press the 'Defaults' button.
• Fixed 'Restore after suspended mode' option in low-level fan control tab, corrupted in the previous release due to multi-GPU related core changes.

What's new:

• 
  
• Updated databases for Detonator and ForceWare drivers. Added databases for ForceWare 180.60, 180.70 and 180.84.
• Added Catalyst 8.12 driver family detection.
• Added 'Enable FOURCC INTZ surfaces' and 'Enable FOURCC RAWZ surfaces' options to the 'Textures' tab of the Direct3D tweaks dialog.
• 'Restore after suspended mode' option in low-level fan control tab is multi-GPU oriented now. Now the option affects all display adapters in the system instead of currently selected display adapter only.
• 'Allow separate 2D/3D clock frequency adjustment' option is no longer provided when enabling driver-level hardware overclocking. The option is now hidden to reduce the amount of false bugreports posted by the beginners trying to disable 2D/3D clock frequncy then claiming that the hardware stays at extremely low boot clocks. Power users can still control this option via AllowMaxPerf registry entry.
• Extended list of detectable supported FOURCC formats in 'IDirect3D9 HAL adapter formats' diagnostic report category.

RivaTuner v2.22

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download...2463589da1b0c5

Minor bugfixes:

• Fixed bug in LM63.dll plugin, causing empty graphs with no data to be displayed in hardware monitoring module and introduced during porting the plugin to multi-GPU architecture in version 2.20.
• Multifunction PCI devices are no longer scanned and no longer detected as multi-GPU devices.
• Fixed pipeline count detection code for NVIDIA G98 GPU family.

What's new:

• Added ForceWare 181.xx drivers family support.
• Updated databases for Detonator and ForceWare drivers. Added databases for ForceWare 180.87, 180.88 and 181.00.
• Updated bundled RivaTunerStatisticsServer v3.0.0 utility:
  
  • Fully redesigned user interface:
    
    • Now the server supports user interface skins to conform requirements of AIB/AIC partners bundling the server with their products. User interface skinning is based upon proprietary engine, which was previously used only in commercical RivaTuner technology based products. User interface skinning usage approach allows RivaTuner fans community to change the server's appearance completely and to express themselves in new skins design. Skin format is completely open, skin compiler and decompiler are integrated in the server, so please visit techsupport forums to get more detailed information and help on the skin creation.
    • Simplified beginner oriented profile settings. Many previously available power user oriented options, such as per-3D API hooking options, are now merged into more simple multi-buttons, e.g. "Application detection level" multi-button.
    • Improved help system. Now context sensitive help system is activated by hovering mouse over the control, instead of traditional right-click and "What's this?" based access in the previous versions.
    • On-Screen Display preview window greatly simplifies realtime On-Screen Display position, color and zoom adjustment.
    
    
  • Fully redesigned profiles architecture:
    
    • Now pre-created and user profiles are no longer stored into single file, so user profiles are no longer lost after the server reinstallation. Please take a note, that the user profiles are preserved only when the server is reinstalled in the same folder.
    • Now it is no longer possible to remove critically important pre-created profiles and pre-created profile settings can be easily restored due to template based profiles architecture.
    • Improved screen capture safety. The server no longer crashes on attempt to capture screenshot in DirectX9 applications without October 2006 or newer DirectX runtime libraries installed.
    • Improved product customization features:
      
      • In addition to skins and previously available product name customization feature, bundling partners can also customize product icon (including system tray icon) and define a link to own online product help page.
      • Product customization information is no longer stored in editable text OEM file, now this information is encoded to protect the product from illegal modification and distribution by third parties.
      
      
    
    
  
  
• Improved installer and uninstaller:
  
  • Improved installation and uninstallation routines for statistics server's hook libraries.
  • Now the uninstaller also removes the files installed by 64-bit signed driver update.

Včera jsem se trápil s novou verzí RivaTuneru. Abych docílil přetaktování pro 3D, podtaktování pro 2D a start profilu 2D se startem windows. Takže jak na to

1. Ve skupině "Driver settings" -> customize -> system tweaks mastavit frekvence pro 3D a uložit třeba jako Profil-3D. Neutíkat z tohoto nastavení, ani nepřepínat mezi profily (zde nefunkční) posunout frekvence pro 2D a uložit třeba jako Profil-2D
2. Ve skupině "Target adapter" spustit Hardware monitoring -> setup a postupně zaškrtnout
- Hardware acceleration
- Hardware acceleration \OGL
- Hardware acceleration \DD
- Hardware acceleration \D3D8 ... D3D10
- kliknutím pravým tlačítkem myši na některou z částí grafu je možné tento vybraný parametr přes nabídku "setup" sledovat v liště windows, buď jako hodnotu, nebo jako barchart - s podmínkou, že zapnete červený "čudlík" "Enable background monitoring"
3. Spustíte Riva tuner server kliknutím na obrázek-ikonku "Riva tuner" se zelenou šipkou v grafu "Hardware acceleration"
4. Pokud vám Riva tuner server spadne do lišty, obnovte jej a zaškrtněte v nastavení "Start with windows" na "ON"
5. Najedete na tabelátor "Launcher" a vytvoříte profil typu "Regular menu item"
- název třeba "Launch-3D" a v nastavení zaškrtnete "Asociated overclocking profile" a přiřadíte mu dříve připravený Profil-3D
6. Zůstanete v tabelátoru "Launcher" a vytvoříte profil typu "Regular menu item"
- název třeba "Launch-2D" a v nastavení zaškrtnete "Asociated overclocking profile" a přiřadíte mu dříve připravený Profil-2D
7. Pokud jste dodrželi postup, klikáním na jednotlivé profily můžete nyní přepínat připravené 2D/3D profily manuálně.
8. Nejdůležitější nastavení, aby Riva tuner měnil profily automaticky při přechodech mezi 2D/3D a také se nastavil při startu windows profil 2D. Najeďte si na záložku "Scheduler", kde postupně vytvoříte 3 položky
- Název třeba "Schedule-3D", typ položky "Item", name vyberete z nabídky "Launch-3D", run task nastavte na "on hardware monitoring treshold event", Data source vyberte "Hardware acceleration", Treshold nastavte na "0.5", Direction na "upward"
- Název třeba "Schedule-2D", typ položky "Item", name vyberete z nabídky "Launch-2D", run task nastavte na "on hardware monitoring treshold event", Data source vyberte "Hardware acceleration", Treshold nastavte na "0.5", Direction na "downward"
- Název třeba "Startup", typ položky "Item", name vyberete z nabídky "Launch-2D", run task nastavte na "at Windows startup".
9. Otestovat správnou funkci můžete skvělým prográmkem "RthDribl", který spouští 3D akceleraci v okně. A to je vše, snad to pomůže někomu, kdo tápe v angličtině nebo nastavení tak mimořádně kvalitního prográmku, kterým RivaTuner bezpochyby je.

Nedavno jsem postupoval podle nasledujiciho navodu.

Create Video Card Profiles To Save Power And Reduce Noise
http://www.ghacks.net/2008/11/05/cre...-reduce-noise/

Jenom jeste dodam ze jsem na Gigabyte 8800 GT 512MB
docilil snizeni jen o 10W v idle, podtaktovani 180MHz jadro; 441MHz Shader; 300MHz memory.
Na Leadteku 8800GT 512MB byla uspora jeste mensi.

Zkratka na 8800GT se to IMHO temer nevyplati.

Včera jsem se trápil s novou verzí RivaTuneru.

Dobrý, ale imho ses trápil zbytečně.... SpeedyGT už to kdysi udělal

Btw. taky sem před pár měsíci hledal

RealTemp plugin for RivaTuner

It works only with Intel CPU's which has a digital thermal sensor (DTS).

Works with Nehalem, Quad's, Core2Duo's and it's a big step forward from "old" Core2Duo plugin.

Unzip and copy the attached files into your RivaTuner/PlugIns/Monitoring directory and the rest should be easy. This plug-in includes Distance to TJMax for each core for those that like to keep an eye on that number.
