Is this the latest Coolbits?

Almost 2 years old 🙁

It works with my card.

I believe coolbits just changes a flag in the registry to turn features on that are already present in the driver files.

If that is the case, no update needed 😉

Bingo! You can do the changes manually if you like, but this is much easier. I don't see why NVIDIA doesn't just put a radio button in the drivers to enable coolbits...

Liability. Having to hack into the registry makes it your baby...

 

[Shmalls]

why would they include a program that lets you get more then you paid for. that would just be bad buisness practice.

 

[Hauk]

And it would spoil the fun... 😉

Nvidia, like AMD (and other MFR's) knows we're out there. I wonder if they give a crap. OC'ers make up what percentage of the buyers anyway?

 

[Shmalls]

its probably a small percentage, but i think OC'ers have strong loyaltys to the companys they like.
or is that just me?

 

[Hauk]

Loyality until the next review comes out. We're a fickle bunch.

Gainward makes a splash
BFG takes charge
EVGA leads the way

See a pattern?

Its not that difficult to do it manually in the registry.
Its just a DWORD value of Coolbits with a value of 3
under the Local Machine\Software\Nvidia\NVTweak key

Coolbits 2 has it like this for the Coolbits entry:

"CoolBits"=dword:ffffffff

So that is all I changed and the Direct3D came up and I placed it on 0.

THANKS

Yeah, disabling by default precludes liability and at the same time makes end-users feel "1337" by toggling the registry value. However, downloading a reg file to do so would frankly make me feel like a "n00b". 😉
