EVGA GPU Voltage Tuner v.1.0 Released

EVGA now gives you even more ways to maximize your EVGA card, with the exclusive EVGA GPU Voltage Tuner (GVT). This utility allows you to set a custom voltage level for your GTX 295, 280 or 260 graphics card. (see below for full supported list) Using this utility may allow you to increase your clockspeeds beyond what was capable before, and when coupled with the EVGA Precision Overclocking Utility, it is now easier than ever to get the most from your card. With these features and more it is clear why EVGA is the performance leader!

Nice. Voltage "limited" to 1.288v on my GTX 260. Program advertises support for Windows 7 and works fine under W7. Program also detects any voltage adjustments already made via Rivatuner.

Heat seems to be as much an issue as voltage. When set to 675/1458 clocks my GTX 260 takes longer to artifact at 1.20v, only after the heat builds up to around ~65c do artifacts appear. ATI Tool finds artifacts instantly if I use 1.288v as temps start at ~68c and climb from there. Think I might try some adjustments to my Fuzion GFX waterblock and see if I can improve those thermals....

for the none eVGA owners you can: Rivatuner Plugin Adds Voltage Control for Geforce GTX280/GTX260/GTX295 and HD4870(X2) use this

Yes, Rivatuner will do all the same functions. It just takes more work and is a bit more lengthy to change settings.

Much prefer this program in combination with EVGA's Precision program for quicker testing!

if you have an eVGA card you would have to be mad or hardcore to take the rivatuner approach
