RivaTuner RC15.3 Wish List

Greggy

I thought I'd create a 'wish list' thread so that Unwinder can check what we would like to see in the next few versions of RivaTuner. I apologise if such a thread already exists but hey, we can't get enough feedback to Unwinder can we?

Personally, I would like to see:
- a more intuative overclocking interface, and
- an 'Automatic RT Overclock' option with various settings such as 'Safe' overclock, 'Medium' overlclock and 'Agressive' overclock, because I have found the nvidia drivers Auto overclock feature to significantly underestimate the core and memory clock potentials.

Now, what would you all like to see in the next release?

Regards,

Greggy

What is more intuitive overclocking? One big button with "Overclock my GPU to the maximum" caption?

I did my all to make controls as flexible as possible and provide maximum possibilities to power users. It won't be changed to simplification side, sorry.
The same applies to automatic overclocking. It will never be available in RT. The best artifact and stability testers are installed in two sockets located on your head. It is your eyes. Nothing can give you trustworthy automatic overclocking result.

Since when was simple the semantic for intuitive? I don't want a simple RT overclocking interface anymore than you do Unwinder, but if you think your o/c interface is already perfect then please ignore my post.

OK I wish that the new Rivatuner 15.3 will have a way to adjust voltages with in reason.

Like what ever card you have you can go up 1v or back 1v. That would keep people from messing up too bad. It is alot better than flashing.

or

Add a software feature to Rivatuner 15.3 to flash your video card through windows. Oh yeah ... That would rock... Bios editor and all... All in rivatuner 15.3 '

My only wish is that he keep making Rivatuner. That is enough for me. I have been using Rivatuner since the TNT2 days and don't know what I'd do without it.

Keep up the great work Unwinder.

Fan control would be nice!

Core throttle ON/OFF option...

tiggie, you won't get voltage control. Unwinder has already posted somewhere that he would NOT implement something in rivatuner that could allow ppl to fry their cards.
my wish list is not for the next rivatuner, since i truly think this RC15.2 is perfect for me atm. what i WOULD like is for the people behind nvidia bios editing tools to get a hold on what unwinder has so toroughly explained in rt's faq about the voltages, and that they just change their tools so you can alter the referenced voltage in the performance table, leaving the voltage table alone, making the bios editing and flashing much more easier for everyone. and bios editing and flashing is easy and safe, if you know what to do

edit: core throttle? oh yeah! that would rock...unfortunately does not seem possible

Uhm, I hope you mean steps of 0.1 (one tenth) and not 1.0 (one volt), I think you can wave bye bye to your card if you suddenly upped the core voltage from 1.x to 2.x.

This has already been covered though, so I'll stop being pedantic. RivaTuner is most excellent such as it is now, I second particlemans take on this.

For one I said with in reason...

like 6800nu can only goto 6800gt
and 6800gt can only goto 6800ultra
nothing stupid like taking a 6800le to ultra

I am just going by what bios shows me

$ffffffffff NVIDIA VGA BIOS information
$ffffffffff ---------------------------------------------------
$1100000000 Title : nv40 p212 sku0 VGA BIOS
$1100000002 Version : 5.40.02.12.01
$1100000001 BMP version : 5.28
$1100000100 BIT version : 1.00
$1100010000 Perf. level 0 : 325MHz/350MHz/1.20V
$1100020000 VID bitmask : 00000011b
$1100020100 Voltage level 0 : 1.10V, VID 00000000b
$1100020101 Voltage level 1 : 1.20V, VID 00000001b
$1100020102 Voltage level 2 : 1.40V, VID 00000010b
$1100000003 SW masked units : none

If it is like your explaining then why does it show it like this?

I have no idea what your point is.

suport for ati catalyst an strap drivers for ati cards

temperature monitoring for asus cards.

there's currently no software available that can read the temps, unless you use an out-dated asus driver for the card, and asus' resource abusing monitor software.

i'm sure a lot of people would appreciate that one

Have you tried Speedfan? Nothing else except for the provided Gigabyte util will monitor my temps, but Speedfan works wonderfully. I'm still vaguely thinking of making a dedicated nVIDIA card monitor that just polls the I2C bus periodically and allows you to assign graphs to the values that change.

EDIT: But, note, I'm very very busy, so don't expect this any time soon. (and it has nothin' at all to do with RT).

Unwinder has also stated that RT will never support any kind of temp monitoring that Forceware doesn't.

Finally - I'm just happy Unwinder makes the app. It's a lot of work doing what he does for free. Let the man rest - 15.2 is damn good.

since a long time ago I couldn't imagine features to add to rivatuner, it's perfect, it just need some lite work on the Radeon part...

we need support for ati drivers seriously
