RivaTuner:
The RivaTuner is a very, very powerful tool with which you can manipulate almost everything on his video card.
At first glance, one of the featured kills almost and yet is still far more under the hood.
In this guide I will give an introduction to the use of RivaTuner.
Because I believe it makes little sense to explain each function in detail, we will immediately have a concrete goal in mind.
If the video card runs cool enough, they can easily overclock in games. However, when browsing the Internet or other types of office work, the performance of a graphics card is not needed at all. So you can underclock in such a case, to save power and increase the life span. But it would not be practical if the graphics card that could govern by itself?
This function supports fortunately already some ATI cards and is called PowerPlay. This rate wills the graphics card if it is not needed and again high clock frequency if their full power is needed.
Older and Ati cards have no such feature. But do not worry; this can easily be programmed via the RivaTuner. How this works is explained to you step by step in this article.
Preparation:
- Download the RevaTuner
- Latest drivers
- Video Card
First, we must allow the RivaTuner slightly lower clock speeds
set. Otherwise we would not get to 200/200 and the fan
would not can be controlled below 25%. In addition to the tab "Power User" change and change the following entries in the picture. After changing still has the check mark will be marked before entry!
Creating Profiles:
In the System Tweaks window select the very top "enable driver-level hardware overclocking". Whether their number in the following message "Reboot" or restarts "Detect Now" is actually relatively unimportant. Now selects the controls at the lowest stroke at the Core clock and Memory clock. The values should however be not 200 and 300th.
This is your clock for the office operations. So that this is already at boot time of Windows, makes the "Startup settings" to "Apply overclocking at Windows startup" a hacking. Now click on or "Apply" and forgiving about the click on the floppy disk in "Overclocking profile settings" the profile the name "UC" (for UnderClocked). Then selects the clock do you want to use in games and save the settings under the profile "OC" (for OverClocked). Watch out here not to call the value too high, otherwise your video card blow.
Therefore, you should first know the potential of overclocking your graphics card. If this is not the case, simply choose the standard clock to the video card has from the first.
