Did nVidia get rid of their OCing tool? (Old news, I'm sure.)


Recommended Posts

I keep seeing screenshots from older reviews for nVidia cards and they have the option in their nVidia control panel to overclock the card, adjust fan speed, etc etc...I can't even remember seeing that feature. Is it only there for newer cards? I currently have 175.19 installed and yeah...I can't recall ever seeing those above mentioned features.

Wrong, Wrong and Wrong.

You need Nvidia System Tools

Ahh thanks for the replies and for clearing it up for me. It looks like it may have been for the better that I asked.

I have Rivatuner, but I'll definitely get system tools.

    • Close, but it is for any application starting, not just during boot time. In fact, it probably will not improve boot time at all because during a boot, the CPU is already boosting, so a pre-boost wouldn't change anything. I agree that it isn't exciting (especially considering every other OS already does it), but it is a good thing, even if they are just playing catch up.
    • Any so called performance increase will be in milliseconds, which nobody will actually notice in real world usage.
    • All it does is use the CPU more efficiently during boot to speed up boot times. That's it. Yawn....
    • It's not a one or the other kind of thing. Software should run efficiently, and the operating system should appropriately manage the CPU clocks. You could have the best most optimized software on earth, and it will still run faster if the CPU does a better job of boosting as needed. All this is doing is pre-boosting the CPU based on user actions, instead of waiting for the normal detection mechanism to kick in. If the OS knows it is about to need more CPU, why shouldn't it use that knowledge? It's the same idea of downshifting before passing someone, instead of just burying your foot into the peddle and waiting for the transmission to figure out what you want to do.
