Publisher's Description
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.

RivaTuner is one of the finest apps ever created for graphics cards, and freeware at that. A must-have tool for anything GPU-related, from monitoring temperatures to adjusting fan control to overclocking, and setting automated schedules for them all. Indispensable, indeed! Thanks Unwinder.

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.

Feature-rich and quite powerful tool. I use it to throttle my video card speed way down when I'm not playing games to save power and reduce heat. It's tricky to use for a beginner, but the features more than make up for it.

RE:Reviewer: horsecharles
If you are not accustomed to guru3d.com it can seem daunting to actually download the file. Especially if after clicking the "Download Now" link you do not see the frame marked:
home » downloads » RivaTuner v2.09
In which you must click "I Agree" at the bottom. In my browser the frame is below the bottom of the window when I have Clipfolio open as a TopBar.
Please, horsecharles, consider amending your vote as it is not the fault of the product that the site is not user friendly.

This is for "horsecharles." First of all, it's free! But still, free without function wouldn't merit a 5. The good news is though, (and maybe horsecharles doesn't read the news?), this product has great functionality and continues to grow for the better. You can not only overclock and or just check the clocks speed of the core/memory/shader, you can also adjust the fan speeds too! Also, lots of other tweeks inside this great product. I find it strange that no one else had all your problems downloading this...Hmmm.

Great App. Recommend.

One of the best graphics card tweak tools. It's currently the only app which lets you overclock 8800 series cards with the newest drivers.

2 for how cumbersome finding download file and actually being able to download it w/o a hitch/gazillion clicks/disabling browser/popup blocker/etc... a sometimes endless download click loop....
Also, for the low-tech self-extract w/o install procedure, making one go find the extracted folder contents.
Sorry, i'm not a zombie lemming w/ tons of disposable time & ice cold blood pressure.
