Version 2.0 Release Candidate 14.3 New Year edition:



Minor bugfixes:



Fixed bug in hardware monitoring log file viewer, which prevented RivaTuner from updating monitoring history graphs correctly under certain conditions.

What's new:



Added New Year stuff to About tab

Added ForceWare 53.30 (Windows 2000/XP only) support.

Added database for ForceWare 53.30 for Windows 2000/XP.

Updated NVStrap antiprotection patch script for ForceWare 53.30.

Added ForceWareAntiprotector patch script for Windows 2000/XP, aimed to remove patch script protection system, introduced in ForceWare 53.30 miniport driver.

Improved low-level graphics subsystem diagnostic report module:

Added 'OpenGL driver information' diagnostic report category. Now RivaTuner's diagnostic reports may contain information about the OpenGL driver vendor, OpenGL renderer and OpenGL version.

Added 'OpenGL driver extensions' diagnostic report category. Now RivaTuner's diagnostic reports may include the list of extensions supported by the OpenGL driver.

Added new diagnostic reports comparison mode. Now besides 'Highlight differences in current / sample report' buttons you can also use 'Highlight missed lines in current / sample report' buttons to activate new report comparison mode. When using 'Highlight missed lines in current / sample report' modes, RivaTuner compares two reports and highlights a line in the source report if it doesn't exist in the target report. This mode is useful when tracking differences in the reports containing undetermined sets of lines (e.g. when comparing two lists of OpenGL driver extensions).

Improved low-level hardware monitoring module:

Custom tracking markers positions are no longer lost when resizing monitoring graph window.

Improved custom tracking markers control interface. Now the markers can be removed with ctrl + left-click instead of right-click. Right mouse button is now used to activate context menu allowing you to perform some handy functions.

Added automatic graph vertical scaling function, allowing RivaTuner to set the best vertical scaling range to fit the graph in. This function can be activated with 'Scale to fit' command in the context menu. Default vertical scaling range can be also restored from the context menu with 'Scale to full range' command.

Added extremum values tracking functions, allowing you to set tracking markers at minimum / maximum points on the graphs. These functions can be activated from the context menu with 'Mark minimum ...' / 'Mark maximum ...' commands.

Added experimental ASUS 9800XT-specific core/ambient temperature monitoring. Thanks to Andrew Worobiew for testing RivaTuner with this board.

Warning! Due to unknown reason ASUS 9800XT boards tend to misread data from its hardware sensor when VPU is highly loaded (mostly when running 3D applications). The problem is not RivaTuner specific and it is also echoed in generic ASUS SmartDoctor hardware monitoring software suite. The problem is being investigated now and presumable it is not related to ASUS 9800XT-specific sensor implementation and misreading is caused by problems in ATI driver's I2C interface. As a temporary workaround for this problem, the current release of RivaTuner provides heuristic algorithm allowing monitoring module to detect and filter incorrectly read data on ASUS 9800XT boards. However, it is not 100% workaround and it may not work on some ASUS 9800XT boards.

Bundled tiny (1.5K) NVInfo.com DOS utility, allowing you to detect GPU core, revision, hardwired PCI device ID, memory type, memory bus type, memory amount and GPU / memory clocking for all GeForce GPUs. Are you going to buy low-end GeForce board? This utility will help you to diagnose it with bootable floppy before purchasing.

LauncherSubMenu registry entry is no longer undocumented. Now you can control it with 'Enable submenu' button in Launcher tab.

Updated Catalyst 3.10 certified SoftR9x00 and ATIOverclockingAntiprotection patch scripts for both Windows 2000/XP and Windows 9x/ME.

Heavily optimized database loader. Due to database read pre-caching system, introduced in this version, RivaTuner opens large databases up to 5 times faster now.

Added Intel i845 Brookdale-G to the list of supported northbridges.

Added a lot of new questions/answers to FAQ.

Minor UI changes and improvements.
