nVidia 163.71 (Bio BOOST and Crysis?) + nTune How to Safely OC your RIG!
Oninusar \| 7:09 AM on 09.30.2007	11 comments

Nvidia give a free 10FPS per "The Way its Ment to be Played" Titles such as: BioShock, Crysis, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Hellgate: London, and World in Conflict.

huh, i thought Crysis and ET:QW wernt out yet...

Anyways i can contest, with these drivers Bioshock ran smooth as glass (10FPS boost) with most features on running with a 7900gs. I highly recommend that you pick these up, and also pick up the Nvidia Monitor OTCMP

The monitor is a Forceware addon that will Overclock your card with out other bloatware programs, nvidia fully stands behind this one... it also can control your GPU fan speed and if your lucky enough to have a Nvidia Nforce2 or higher mobo then this is a MUST, there�s a 30minute and 3 hour tuning you can do that stress tests your system and boosts it by % intervals for the cooling your system needs...

Basically if you want to Overclock your system from the frontside bus to the northbridge CPU and GPU plus Ram timings and lots more. (31 different settings in all) nTune will stress test your system and find the best/safest Overclocking options you can do to it. The bets part is it can reset everything back to factory settings if you receive any issues.. with 31 different options, that "System Tune" option really starts to sound good :)

my suggesting is to use it in combination with the latest SiSoft Sandra and find a stable OC for your old tired rig.. happy fiddling!

Too bad I got Vista over here :(

I do have nTune though, just haven't got around to overclocking yet. Maybe I'll mess around with it once I get my two more gigs of RAM.

Oninusar

vista can turn any flashdrive into "insta cache" thats a fun little tweak if you can get it working correctly, a massive performance boost with some programs

ConsFEARacy

Yeah...I need to try that out too. Don't have a flash drive anymore (lost mine) but I'm ordering one of those OCZ Rallys.

Honestly, I haven't had any performance problems with Vista other than a few OpenGL games (Quake 3 & 4 come to mind), but that could be Vista paired with an 8800 because friends that have Vista don't have any trouble with them. I thought I was gonna need every boost I could get, but Counterstrike: Source at nearly over 200 frames per second, I'm not complaining!

KamikazeTutor

So... what does this do to someone who's already using 165.01? Which already boosts BioShocks performance and all.

ConsFEARacy

It should boost it even MOAR!

Maurice Tan

Sounds like OC-ing has come a long way since pencilling those lines on your duron/athlon to OC them :)

Altair78

I had nTune and it boosted my gaming pretty well, but the funny thing is that it fucked up my wife's settings. I basically had to undo things so she could use the computer without me having to stand next to her fixing every problem that popped up.

nTune is good though... I liked it and it was pretty easy to use. I am nVidia's bitch... and SNK's bitch. I'm a gaming WHORE!!
