RivaTuner 2.20 – Tweaking Utility for Nvidia Graphics Cards

RivaTuner 2.20 (Windows, Freeware, 2.4MB) [alt DL] 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.

Changes:

  • Fixed incorrect 2x effective memory clock multiplier for RADEON HD 4870 / 4870 X2 series equipped with QDR DDR5 memory
  • Added ForceWare 178.xx and 180.xx drivers families support
  • Updated databases for Detonator and ForceWare drivers. Added databases for ForceWare 178.13, 178.15, 178.24, 180.10, 180.20, 180.42, 180.43, 180.44, 180.47 and 180.48
  • Added Catalyst 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 driver families detection
  • Added workaround for broken error reporting system of PowerPlay clock control interfaces in Catalyst 8.10 hotfix 2 and Catalyst 8.11 driver families
  • Added driver-level fan control support for ForceWare 180.xx drivers family
  • Updated PCI DeviceID database for both AMD and NVIDIA display adapters
  • Added NVIDIA G98 graphics processors support
  • Added AMD RADEON HD 4830 display adapters family support
  • Added support for direct assess to flashrom chips of AMD RV7xx graphics processors family
  • Updated exceptions list for bundled D3DOverrider utility
  • Seriously redesigned hardware access layer provides drastically improved multi-GPU support
  • Drastically increased performance of routines applying clock frequencies and fan speed when experimental cloning modes are enabled
  • Now RivaTuner displays physical GPU index in the main tab on multi-GPU systems to simplify identifying independent physical devices and logical devices of the same physical GPU (e.g. two independent RAMDACs located on the same physical GPU)
  • Improved hardware monitoring module
