Thanks!

It is OSD server's own framerate limiting technology supported on both AMD and NVIDIA cards. The technology quoted above and adjustable via EVGA Precision X is NVIDIA driver's feature. Afterburner doens't control it.

Thanks for clarification. That is what I suspected, and because of that I asked this question on the forums.

Is there any "real" (practical) differences between these two implementations? Will I be better of in some way if I use dedicated nvidia frame limiter on nVidia hardware? Should I switch from Afterbuner to Precision X?

Since you are the author of both precision and afterburner, will you be implementing this nVidia feature also in afterburner?

As a side note, it seems absolutely bizarre to me that nVidia is introducing and advertising a feature of their card which is not available through their drviers, but only through third party software!

I don't recall any advertising for a framerate limiter and it was announced for all cards way before the Kepler launch. They did however advertise adaptive vsync and that can be enabled without the need for third party software.

Personally, I don't recall nVidia announcing frame limiter for all cards "way before the Kepler launch", but I might have missed it.
It was available on kepler's launch and was for example tested by fudzilla:

Some sources refer to adaptive vsync as "framerate limiter".

They did however advertise adaptive vsync and that can be enabled without the need for third party software.

On nVidia's own website Geforce.com they clearly advertise this feature as nVidia exclusive, at the same time informing that this feature can only be enabled using third-party software. This still seems bizarre to me.

You'd have to be pretty dumb to mix those two up. One includes vsync, the other doesn't.

If you read your own link you'll see that the "framerate target" activated by third party tools and "adaptive vsync" available in the CP are two separate features.

I dit not mix these two up, I know the difference between adaptive vsync and frame rate limiter. This is what I was referring to:

The last of the three big features is Adaptive V-Sync. The feature improves on traditional V-Sync, by dynamically adjusting the frame limiter to ensure smoother gameplay.

I think my previous posts indicate that I am perfectly aware of this and I merely expressed my surprise that nVidia's own feature (frame target) cannot be enabled in nVidia's own drivers, but requires a specific third party tool (as far as I know, EVGA Precision X is the only tool that supports that feature.

any reason to upgrade from beta 15 if i just have my 6850? Does this version have the kernel mode support so punkbuster doesnt rage quit my pc?

[IKnowJack]

bodgy release :/
why even have a bloody beta? half the stuff added in this has never been tested..
wouldnt it have been wiser to make this final based on the last beta(with minor fixes only)..and make a new beta with all the new stuff?

clocks are showing half their true value in hardware monitor, both core and shader...i have uninstalled beta...even removed all profiles.. this on a GTX470 + 9400GT..both old enough to have these stupid bugs sorted..

clocks showed correct on first run after removing profiles, but it returned to half clocks on the next run..

...rivatuner used to be good..but now theres corporate backing...the code has gone to hell..i guess thats why this crap is called a final release...the bigwigs wanted a full release to package in with the newer cards..while they forget about the rest of us

time to remove this corporate bloatware and move back to a small dev who hasnt been corrupted by $$ and higher powers

Do you really think that small dev wish to work for community after meeting agressive knowledgeless users like you daily? Corrupted by $$, heh. Someone's brain is corrupted lack of IQ.

[Pill Monster]

lol...

[IKnowJack]

so you dont get paid by msi at all unwinder? i notice you dont deny being corrupted by higher powers...

lack of IQ? knowledgeless? then enlighten me...

why are the clocks doing this?

edit: second thought...screw it.. uninstalled.. i dont need to waste my time when the dev cant even take a little criticism about a major bug

Don't tell me that you don't see a difference between being paid for job and being corrupted by $$. So troll yourself outside this section, boy.
Aslo, elighten yourself and fill the void in your head by reading beta 15 thread and understanding info about new NVIDIA clock monitoring API introduced with Keplers in 300.xx drivers, then try to feel the difference between previousle displayed target and currently displayed generated clocks. Your limited knownede is your own problem.
You have one month to browse forums in read-only mode and read without posing nonsense. Enjoy it.

I know you can't read my reply, but if you would've taken the time to read the changes in the beta 15 thread, you would understand that it is not a bug. Sorry but you are an idiot for saying something is a bug when it's clearly not. As Unwinder (and Nvidia) pointed out the way clocks are displayed has changed in the 300.xx drivers.

Hi, im on 6990m on my alienware, why can oc my card far than 714mhz? with trixx i can oced it to 800 without problems, but preffer by far AB.Core bar dont pass 714 value.

Can it be fixed please?

[St. bluedrop]

Hey I'm using the GTX 570 Twin Frozr III and I wonder if the kombuster counts as furmark?
Any GTX 5xx cards gets downclocked when using such applications.
