Sometimes users lack the standard capacities of the installed video card or its potential was not fully disclosed by the manufacturer. In this case, there is an option to increase the performance of the graphics accelerator - dispersed it. This process is carried out using specialized programs and is not recommended for use in inexperienced users, since any careless action can lead to a breakdown of the device. Let's consider in detail several representatives of such software for overclocking video cards from NVIDIA.
GeForce Tweak Utility.
A detailed configuration of the graphic device allows you to execute the GeForce Tweak Utility program. It is intended to change the parameters of the drivers and the registry, which allows you to get a small increase in performance. All settings are conveniently distributed by tabs, as well as the ability to create configuration profiles, if in different cases it is required to set specific GPU settings.
In some situations, incorrect adaptation of the video card leads to frequent departures or the complete failure of the device. Thanks to the built-in backup and recovery function, you can set the default values at any time and return the components to life.
GPU-Z.
One of the most popular programs for monitoring the work of the graphics processor is GPU-Z. It is compact, does not occupy a lot of space on the computer, it is suitable for inexperienced users and professionals. However, in addition to its standard monitoring function, this software allows and change the parameters of the video card, due to which its performance increases.
Due to the presence of many different sensors and graphs, you can see the changes in real time, for example, how the load and temperature of the device changed after the hertes increase. GPU-Z is available for download for free on the official developer website.
EVGA Precision X.
EVGA Precision X is sharpened exclusively under the acceleration of the video card. It does not have additional features and tools - only overclocking and monitoring of all indicators. Immediately the unique interface with an unusual location of all parameters is thrown into the eyes. Some users have such registration causes difficulties in management, but they quickly get used to it and feel comfortable when working in the program.
Please note that EVGA Precision X allows you to instantly switch between all video cards installed in the computer, which helps to quickly set the necessary parameters without reloading the system or switching devices. The program also has a built-in function testing of the set parameters. It is necessary to conduct an analysis to ensure that failures and problems in the work of the GPU do not arise in the future.
MSI Afterburner.
MSI AfterBurner uses the greatest popularity among other programs to optimize video cards. Its work is carried out by moving the sliders, which are responsible for changing the level of the voltage, the frequency of the video memory and the speed of rotation of the fans built into the graphics accelerator.
In the main window, only the most basic parameters are displayed, the additional configuration is carried out through the properties menu. Here the drive of the video card is selected, compatibility properties are set and other software management options. MSI Afterburner is updated quite often and supports work with all modern video cards.
Nvidia inspector
NVIDIA Inspector is a multifunctional program for working with graphics accelerators. It has not only overclocking tools, it is equipped with a multitude of different functions that allow you to make a fine configuration of the drivers, create any number of profiles and monitor the operation of the device.
This software has all the necessary parameters that change by the user in order to increase the performance of the installed video card. All indicators are compactly placed in the windows and do not cause difficulties in control. NVIDIA INSPECTOR is available for download for free on the official website.
Rivatuner
The following representative is Rivatuner - a simple program for fine configuration of video card drivers and registry parameters. Thanks to its understandable interface in Russian, you do not have to study the necessary configurations for a long time or spend a lot of time searching for the required settings item. It is all conveniently distributed in tabs, each value is described in detail, which will be extremely useful to inexperienced users.
Pay attention to the built-in task scheduler. This feature allows you to run the necessary items in a strictly specified time. Standard elements include: Cooler, acceleration, colors, related video modes and applications.
PowerStrip.
PowerStrip is a multifunctional software for the full control of the graphics system computer. This includes the settings of the video mode, colors, graphics accelerator and applications. Present performance parameters allow you to change some of the video card values, which has a positive effect on its speed.
The program allows you to save an unlimited number of settings profiles and apply them at the moment when it is necessary. It works actively, even being in the tray, which allows you to instantly switch between modes or change the required parameters.
NVIDIA System Tools With Esa Support
NVIDIA System Tools With ESA Support is a software that allows you to monitor the status of computer components, as well as change the necessary parameters of the graphics accelerator. Among all those present sections of the settings, you need to pay attention to the video card configuration.
Editing the GPU characteristics is carried out by changing certain values by entering new or moving the corresponding slider. The selected configuration can be saved by a separate profile to quickly change the required values.
Above, we reviewed several of the most popular representatives of the programs for overclocking video cards from NVIDIA. All of them are similar to each other, allow you to change the same parameters, edit the registry and drivers. However, each has some kind of unique features that attract the attention of users.
