    Hello,

    I'm almost done preparing the drivers for the purchase of my F8Sn-C1 (very very soon). I just want to know, what is the nVidia equivalent of ATI Tray Tools....

    Thanks

    Until recently I used either the standard nvidia control panel or nhancer. But after some testing on WiC and C&C3, I'v e found that if I don't make any changes to the predefined settings of "Quality" I get better performance and a lower temperature. As Soon as I start to play with any of the "Optimizations" or set the predefined setting to anything other than "Quality" I get good starting performance, then after a few seconds the driver either crashes or downclocks my GPU. This only happens with drivers newer than 174.16 though. But even using earlier drivers I get lower temperature and good (same) performnce if I don't mess with the control panel settings. Weird eh?
