Your Favorite Video Card Tweak Tool?

[Ryan Smith]

Hey gang, your friendly neighborhood AT editor here...

I'm putting together an article on the various video card tweak tools available (both 1st and 3rd party) and I'm interested in getting your input quickly. What tool(s) do you like to use?

I want to make sure we at least have the most popular/functional tools covered, as I may not be able to fit every last tool in to this article (or may not even be aware of a specific tool). So if you could list what tools you use, it would help me a great deal in delivering a better article for you guys.

-Thanks for the input

My personal favorite is Ati Tray Tools. I've been using it for tweaking cards from my old 9800pro to my current x1900xt, and it also replaced CCC for me.

RivaTuner is my favorite, with ATITool coming in at a close second.

Right now other than Ntune, im using ATI TOOL for temp monitoring. Does Rivatuner work for the 8800 series ??

My favorite is Ati Tray Tools. I used Rivatuner in the past, but I like the layout of the overclocking functions in ATT better. Ati Tool is another favorite I see recommended all the time, but I've never tried it simply because ATT is sufficient. It would be interesting to see those compared.

On a side note, I think Rivatuner has access to more in depth hardware information such as pipes, shaders, disabled quads, etc. Although I could be wrong.

Always liked ATI Traytool myself as well. It's worked well for both ATI and NVidia cards.

Any plans of discussing the complete and utter lack of OCing tools for GPUs in Vista? I know a lot of people are getting impatient for Microsoft/ATI/NVidia to come up with a solution.

nHancer, Riva Tuner, ATi Tray Tools, Refresh Force.

Between them those four demolish the collective junk ATi and nVidia ship with their cards.
