    I have a NVIDIA card (not my choice; came with the computer) and was wondeirng if there was something similar to ATI Tray Tools for it. Not for the overclocking (I'm very leery of it) but a few other things.

    Thanks. :)

    When you download and install drivers from nvidia it does put a icon in your system tray but since i never messed with i don't really know what it does, I like nvidia geforce cards (they are real nice cards) plus i too am real leery of overclocking (i'll never do that):-D!
    After checking google i found out nvidia does have a application called ntune http://www.nvidia.com/object/ntune_5.05.54.00.html hope this helps.

    For NVidia video card tweaking, there's also RivaTuner and Precision from eVGA (but it works with all brands of nVidia cards from the GTS250 and up). RivaTuner is very popular and how-to guides can be found all over the web. A couple of other great tools for all video cards (not just nVidia) are GPU Caps Viewer and GPU-Z. "Caps" is short for "capabilities" but you knew that already. ;) GPU-Z is great for monitoring fan speeds and temps on your graphics card, and it can continually save a log file while you're gaming so you can see how the card behaves. Pretty cool!
    I hope this helps!

    How about Nvida Tray Tools


    Motherboard Monitor can be setup to display info in your tray, works good with Riva-tuner, If I remember right you need to install rivi-tuner to set up all the GPU info


    As for the subject of OCing VC's ATI Tool works for both ATI & Nvidia cards
    Great for scanning for artifacting..:major.

    I use EVGA Precision on two of my PCs. I mainly use it to increase the fan speed. Helped decrease temp(s). If you use this app, and you want the settings to stay at startup, make sure the APPLY AT WINDOWS STARTUP radio button is selected. :cool
