That's not the case, Chris. It is not just a software 2D/3D clock switching technology, which was available for years in NVIDIA products since...
You just messed the settings, there are 2 different fan control levels available in RT depending on hardware. You cannot use driver-level 2D/3D...
Small tip, which drastically simplifies navigation in RivaTuner: There are so called module activation launch items in "Launcher" tab, which...
That's 93.71's control panel bug (which is officially stated as open issue in release notes). The reasons of this problem are explained in that...
It won't work. That setting is only available on pre-NV20 GPUs.
Glad that your problem is solved ;) You absolutely don't have to do that, hardware monitoring graph doesn't have to be visible while you're...
Placeholder for what? Give me at least one logical reason of using such pipe control scheme and leaving one unused (0-hardwired!) bit in the...
Then it should be available in RT too with no doubts, bacause it uses control panel's temperature readings by default. There are numerous reasons,...
RT is a hobby for me, an ideal tool of my dream, and the the dreams are never reachable. I'll keep it in RC stage untill I'll add to it...
Working as intended? Ever thought that the reason can be in your system (dead sensor, for example) rather than the utility? ;)
Sorry, but it is not completely true. In fact, that's not unique to ATI. That's a specifics of NT Direct3D driver architecture, causing that _any_...
I've neither G71 nor G73 in my testrigs, I can only rely on Digit-Life/iXBT testers.
AFAIK, there is still 1 bit in control register -> 1 pipe mapping. It is very easy to check, new (beta) version of NVStrap driver is able to...
True if blocked pipes (if any) are faulty, false if they are hidden due to marketing issues.
Don't think so. Pixel pipe related bits of pipe config register are unified for whole NV4x family, each pixel pipe state is controlled by the...
Overdrive is working only if VGA BIOS is Overdrive capable (amount of overdrive levels, clocks and temperatures for each level are stored there)....
Small update on that issue. I asked a tester with 7800 (I don't have it and able to analyze its' driver/BIOS only) and 3-domain clock monitoring...
They'll start on 11th. Today is the last boring day in the office. ;)
Also, I'm a bit sceptical about "new architecture" too. Currently I'm comparing NV47's clocking approach with NV40's one. As far as I can see now,...
To be honest I'm a bit sceptical about "more than 3 clock domains". G70 BIOS's internals can be used as the simpliest way to verify amount of...
ALT, you shouldn't expect that "jumps" exactly at N*27MHz clocks. There can be different approaches for feedback divider selection, for example...
Small info update: According to report of testers using 15.7, the driver sets ROP clock to 418MHz in low power 3D mode (27 * 31 / 2). So...
I hope that is is just the driver's limitation and there will be more flexible ROP frequency control in new drivers. The PLL they use for...
Some updated info about investigation progress: 1) G70 has 3 independently clocked domains with no doubts. I've already fully ripped clock...
Both 3DMark and RT read that clock from the same source - PLL registers 4000/4004. These registers were used for generating whole core clock for...
That "step down" is a usual low power 3D mode (or performance level 1), NV uses it since NV3x series. The target clocks of this mode can be found...
After spending almost a week in IDA analyzing G70's clocking related code in VGA BIOS and NVIDIA driver, I'd say that the probablility of...
To be honest, I don't care if I'll piss off NV or not. I don't depend on them anyhow, my hardware samples are provided by independent sponsors and...
No problem, mate ;) I really appreciate your support during these years, and I'm very glad that you've found simpler tool, which covers 100% of...
Nope. That GTO was a regular NV40 with slightly revised pipeline masking technique. Currently there are both NV40 (with 1 locked quad and one...
Just some interesting facts: 1) There is _no_ NV48 core family ID in the driver, which means that NV48 codename is used for marketing only and...
I'm pretty certain that these GTOs are _not_ NV41 based.
My apologies, I forgot to log in ;) The previous post is mine.
Such 'by design' feature is very bad thing. If ATI really intended to block third party gamma calibration, they shouldn't implement any gamma...
Please read the article carefully. First, R200 and R300 d3d drivers are loacted in different files so R200 workarounds simply cannot affect R300+...
Where do you see much much different results? The same huge performance drop in GT4 - Nature after installing AntiDetector. Correct. 3DM2K1...
micron Anything more to say? It won't change my mind and conclusions in the article. Wanna see saint ATI - simply see it. Some ppl like...
demalion I’m afraid that your words are aimed only to rehabilitate one IHV involved in this investigation. You may like the conclusion, you...
Correct. At that time I've not seen ATI driver internals and 3DM2001 tricks. Now I see nothing but PR in Terry's 'emotional' statement. Buisness...
Re: So surprised by the solid facts, I neglected the conclus You've misunderstood me. I ( and probably K.I.L.L.E.R) was talking about the...
Re: So surprised by the solid facts, I neglected the conclus OpenGL guy I perfectly understand ATI and NV positions in benchmark...
Re: So surprised by the solid facts, I neglected the conclus First, it's the second of my articles published on Digit-Life (the first was...
My apologies, the previous screenshots on NV boards were really grabbed with AF on. Updated AntiDetect.rar will be uploaded few minutes later.
I grabbed screenshots of SoftR9500 pro today and ATI cards surely use default driver settings. Cannot comment settings on NV cards, probably AF...
It's not my words ;) Correct Incorrect. The driver compares specified shader code with these hardwired shaders during shader creation....
Nope, I don't mean wrapper, I mean .RTS (patch script) file, which can be executed by RivaTuner. It just slightly modifies the driver's binary to...
Unfortunately I don't know when DL will prepare the review. If you wish, I can give you both of scripts for testing right now, email me for...
Only checksum calculation code is corrected by NVAntiDetector script. Luckily (for us but not for NVIDIA, of course) they use unified checksum...
