Fixed logical display device to physical display device mapping code in
the internal display device manager for the systems with multiple instances
of absolutely identical display adapters (e.g. SLI and Crossfire systems
with two identical display adapters from the same brand). Now the secondary
logical display devices in such systems are properly reconciled with the
secondary physical display devices, so RivaTuner can properly access
low-level settings (e.g. hardware monitoring) for the secondary physical
devices.
Fixed bug preventing RivaTuner from applying low-level fan control
settings for the secondary display devices at Windows startup.
Fixed abnormal negative local temperature reading for temperatures above
64°C in ADT7473 plugin.
Minor UI and localization fixes.
What's new:
Added ForceWare 97.xx driver family support.
Updated databases for Detonator and ForceWare drivers. Added databases for
ForceWare 93.71 and 97.02 drivers.
Added ForceWare 95 compatible transparency and gamma correction
antialiasing control.
Updated PCI DeviceID database for both ATI and NVIDIA graphics processors.
Improved driver-level overclocking module for NVIDIA display adapters:
Considering that NVIDIA control panel's own overclocking tab is broken
in the ForceWare 93.71 and totally removed in the ForceWare 95 and newer
series, now RivaTuner forcibly enables and locks "Use alternate
startup daemon" option when the ForceWare 93.xx and newer is
detected. This ensures that RivaTuner will apply clock frequencies at
Windows startup itself instead of allowing the control panel to do it.
Now RivaTuner stores startup clocks in its own registry key instead of
the control panel's one when enabling alternate startup daemon mode.
This ensures that startup clock frequencies will not be erroneously
halved and by the broken control panel of the ForceWare 93.71 drivers.
Now RivaTuner uses its own routines instead of the control panel's
exported functions for storing default clock frequencies in the registry
when clicking "Detect now" button during enabling driver-level
overclocking on display adapters with no separate 2D/3D clock frequency
adjustment.
Now "Allow separate 2D/3D clock frequency adjustment" option
is displayed regardless of the registry settings on any GeForce FX and
newer display adapters during enabling driver-level overclocking.
Added experimental NV50/G80 GPU support. Thanks to Andrew Worobiew for
testing RivaTuner with NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX and NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS
display adapters.
Added new CSAA modes for G80 bases display adapters.
Added G80 streaming processors detection support. Currently RivaTuner
is the only low-level diagnostic tool able to detect and display the
amount of active streaming processors on G80 based display adapters.
Added G80 memory controller support. Currently RivaTuner is the only
low-level diagnostic tool able to detect and display type of memory
installed on G80 based board and amount of active ROP/MC units forming
total memory bus width.
Added G80 clock frequency generators support. Currently RivaTuner is
the only low-level diagnostic tool able to monitor core ROP and Shader
domain clocks and memory clocks.
Added G80 specific performance tables v1.5 support for G80 VGA BIOS
images. Now RivaTuner can display G80 specific core ROP domain and
shader domain clocks defined in VGA BIOS in "NVIDIA VGA BIOS
information" diagnostic report category.
Added G80 specific voltage tables v2.0 support for G80 VGA BIOS
images. Now RivaTuner can display G80 specific voltage tables defined in
VGA BIOS in "NVIDIA VGA BIOS information" diagnostic report
category.
Added extended G80 I2C bus support. Now RivaTuner is able to access all 4
I2C buses available on G80 based bards. Please take a note that currently
RivaTuner doesn't access G80 I2C controller directly and uses ForceWare's
I2C access layer instead. Direct low-level access to G80 I2C buses will be
implemented in future versions. Due to these limitations RivaTuner's I2C
access code for G80 will not work under Vista, so low-level features
depending on I2C (e.g. fan control, ambient temperature and fan speed
monitoring) won't be available under this OS for G80.
Added low-level fan control tab for G80 based boards with external I2C
ADT7473 sensor and fan controller.
Updated NVStrap driver v1.12:
Added G80 support including streaming processors control support . Now
the testers can disable G80 streaming units (block of 16 streaming
processors) one by one to study G80 shader performance scaling and
simulate not yet announced G80 based models' performance.
Improved multiple display adapters support. Now RivaTuner can
automatically switch currently selected display adapter via the command
line. This allows SLI/Crossfire owners to create launch items and
dynamically switch between two display adapters, e.g. with hotkeys directly
when monitoring device temperature in On-Screen Display during playing the
game. Please take a note that you can use previously introduced predefined
applications list in regular launch item editor window for quick-creating
launch items for selecting logical display device 0 and logical display
device 1.
Improved hardware monitoring module:
RivaTuner no longer uses GPU family specific PWM controllers for
monitoring reference fan duty cycle. Now the database contains
per-display adapter model fan PWM controller usage info, defined via
[FANPWM] section of RivaTuner.cfg file. This allows monitoring reference
fan duty cycle on nonstandard display adapters using non-typical PWM
controllers (e.g. G71 based 7800GS with G70 styled fan PWM controller).
Improved multilanguage engine debugging features for third party
localization pack creators:
Localization logging system is no longer controlled by
EnableLocalizationLog registry entry. Now this feature, as well as many
others, are available via bitmask controlled by LocalizationDebugFlags
registry entry. Please switch PowerUser tab to value analysis mode for
controlling localization debugging bits visually.
Localization log is more detailed now and level of detail can be
customized by developer. By default the log includes previously
available successful and failed requests to the translation database, as
well as new database translation database initialization log.
Initialization log allows you to see which translations are coming from
each translation file, easily track the warnings from the localization
engine (e.g. if you specify different transition for the same phrase in
multiple files in the same translation database etc). You may optionally
disable log categories you don't need to make a log less complex and
easy for understanding (e.g. configure the system to log only failed
requests to the translation database).
Optional resized host highlighting mode. When this mode is enabled,
RivaTuner highlights host controls resized by multilanguage engine by
#dlu tokens in the translation database. This allows controlling new
specified size of hosts visually.
Optional host control info displaying mode. When this mode is enabled,
you may use the context menu to select "Show host info"
command for the required control. Host info includes host control class,
ID and size in dialog units and simplifies the process of resizing the
host or specifying custom translation for this host.
Added new Easter eggs, updated the previously existing ones.
FAQ updated.
