ATITool is an overclocking utility designed for ATI and NVIDIA video cards. Design target is to write a light-weight application for the enthusiast - so no questionable registry tweaks.

Features:
  • No limits overclocking.
  • Support for overclocking for NVIDIA cards.
  • Adjustment of GPU and memory voltage (when supported by VGA card).
  • Tweaking of memory timings (most ATI cards).
  • Finding maximum core and memory overclock by rendering into a Direct3D window and scanning the output for visual artifacts.
  • Temperature monitoring and fan speed control (on supported cards).
  • Removal of Catalyst overclocking lock for 9000/9200/9550/9600 series.
  • Artifact scanning mode to test for stability.
  • Loading a predefined clock profile on Application/Windows startup.
  • Hotkeys that can be used any time to load clocks from a profile.
  • Extract video card BIOS to file for backup purposes.
  • 3D application detection (Direct3D 8, Direct3D 9, OpenGL) to overclock your video card only when required.
  • Gamma control

What's New:
  • Full Vista and XP64 support
  • Support for all ATI RV6xx ASICs
  • No changes to R600 support in this build
  • Better support for multiple adapters
  • Latest NVIDIA non-WHQL drivers with some G8x cards not supported
  • Better handling of clock step sizes
  • Fixed vertex/pixel/unified shader reporting
  • Added detection for about 20 older and newer ATI ASICs
This is BETA software!, please use caution when installing it on your system

Time to change the name of it if it's going to support Nvidea cards.. how about "Generic crap tool"?

Who said ATITool was dead?

It's not bad, but I like Rivatuner a lot better.

ATI Tool is very good if you need to look for visual artifacts when you overclock, but other than that RivaTuner beats it hands down.

Finally it gets updated!

Btw, I've tried Riva Tuner but didn't like it.. does RivaTuner has an autoprofile as well like ATITool? (Auto 3D Detection - overclock the card when playing games and then stop if you quit the game?)

Well, I usually use rivatuner for adjusting the clockspeeds and ati tool for artifacts scan. Tho I'm not sure if rivatuner can scan for artifacts too...

The artifacts scan on it did nothing for my card. It set it to ridiculous levels that I knew couldn't be right. Against my better judgment I decided to try the settings it recommended anyway. Started up Bioshock, moved closer to the monitor to watch my newfound speed increase and got punched in the face with a giant instant BSOD instead. Rivatuner's simple test was more accurate, at least for my Nvidia card.

Running Vista by any chance?

The artifect detection was broken on the last version for a number of nVidia cards (8x00 series); if you'd checked their forum you'd have discovered that like me.

Don't know yet whether this new build fixes it or not.

To me this is the feature that matters; an easy and quick way to overclock your card, since automatic avoids the faffing about and time consuming process of finding the best manual overclock (even though it may not be optimal, in my mind it's good enough).

hmm...tried it but rivatuner still the master, this new build gave me a black screen when changing the clocks requiring a reboot and crashed 3 times, yea i knows its "beta".

well finally, until ATI and Lenovo released Vista drivers for my Thinkpad T42 with the Radon 9600 i'll be using this because i don't game on my laptop (got a 360 for that) so i loved the part about underclocking the GPU in the old software for XP. For some reason (still! there's no Vista drivers for the Radeon 9600 from Lenovo. A year after Vista and still nothing.
