_______________
RivaTuner is a powerful tweaking utility for NVIDIA GeForce and ATI Radeon based videocards. Minor bugfixes in version 2.04:

Fixed overclocking algorithms for ATI R3xx/R4xx GPU families, broken due to MMIO protection introduced in the previous version.
Fixed gamma correct antialiasing option for G7x GPU families, broken due to G8x related gamma correct antialiasing related changes in the previous version.
Fixed bug in the installer script, preventing automatic update installation system from installing the updates from a folder containing spaces in the path.
RivaTuner no longer stops working with access violation error when I/O driver is not loaded.
Minor UI and localization fixes.

I absolutely love this program and would recommend it to anyone with a single GPU. It;s an awesome tool.

However a word of warning, This program does not support SLI.

Yes it will allow you to overclock an SLI system and it works fine however I recently discovered through some pretty thorough testing that the second card will not speed it's fans up no matter what temps it hits.
After testing and some pretty intense heating I got card one to hit 77C and the fan was spinning and doing it's job, however card two kept rising in temp and hit 90c before I lost my nerve and aborted it. At 90c the card was still showing 60c fan load but to be honest felt it was spinning less than that.

Even manual fan setting will not raise the fan speed on card two.

Im not pointing the blame just at this either as the same thing happens with Ntune, you can manually set fan one but as soon as you set fan two and leave the screen it defaults to 60% fan load.

This is all with 8800 series cards, i'd be interested to hear other peoples experiences and tips.

I've been waiting for this since losing the ability to adjust shader clocks.

And 2.05 should have even better shader oc features and should be out real soon
