<div>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"><strong>Version 2.07:</strong></div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"><strong>Minor bugfixes:</strong></div></span></p>
<ul>
<li><br /></li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Fixed default values for Direct3D Intellisample slider and "Clamp negative mipmap LOD bias" option.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">State of global OSD visibility setting is no longer lost when any other option is being changed immediately after changing the global OSD visibility setting in the properties of bundled RivaTunerStatisticsServer application.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Minor UI and localization fixes.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"><strong>What's new:</strong></div></span></p>
<ul>
<li><br /></li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added ForceWare 171.xx, 173.xx and 174.xx drivers families support.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated databases for Detonator and ForceWare drivers. Added databases for ForceWare 169.09, 169.13, 169.17, 169.21, 169.25, 169.28, 169.32, 169.38, 169.39, 171.16, 171.17, 171.23, 173.65, 173.80, 174.12, 174.13, 174.16, 174.23 and 174.31.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added Catalyst 7.11, 7.12, 8.1 and 8.2 drivers detection. Please take a note that both Catalyst 8.1 and 8.2 share the same binary file versions, so both Catalyst 8.1 and 8.2 will be detected as Catalyst 8.1 or newer.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated Catalyst 7.11, 7.12, 8.1 and 8.2 certified SoftR9x00 patch script (for Windows 2000/XP drivers only).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated PCI DeviceID database for both ATI and NVIDIA graphics processors. Added PCI DeviceIDs for RADEON 2600XT AGP, RADEON 2900GT, RADEON HD 3870 X2 and GeForce 8800GTS 512 SKUs. Please take a note that RivaTuner doesn't provide official Crossfire support, so RADEON HD 3870 X2 support can be limited to single GPU functionality under certain conditions.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Unlocked previously available experimental RV635 graphics processors support. Thanks to Andrey Vorobiev for testing RivaTuner with ATI RADEON HD3650.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added experimental G94 graphics processors support. Thanks to Andrey Vorobiev and Hilbert Hagedoorn for testing RivaTuner with NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added powerful built-in task scheduler module. Task scheduler has been designed as more flexible and more programmable replacement for the previously available programmable monitoring thresholds technology, providing you the following functionality:</div></span><ul><li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Ability to automate startup of any desired application (e.g. RivaTunerStatisticsServer) or launch item (e.g. combination of fan and overclocking profiles or shortcut to RivaTuner's hardware monitoring module GUI) on specified schedule. The following schedule types are currently supported:</div></span><ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task at Windows startup. This schedule type can be used as a replacement for RivaTuner's own "Run ... at Windows startup" options by means of loading desired overclocking / fan / color profiles as well as for programming additional sophisticated tasks (e.g. for programming VRM module at OS startup by means of RivaTuner's command line interface for direct access to GPU registers).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task at RivaTuner startup. This schedule type can be used to automate startup of some applications, which you need to run in conjunction with RivaTuner only (e.g. RivaTunerStatisticsServer) or for activating some GUI windows (e.g. Hardware monitoring window) at RivaTuner startup.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task at RivaTuner shutdown. This schedule type can be used to automate shutdown of some applications, which you need to run in conjunction with RivaTuner only (e.g. RivaTunerStatisticsServer).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task on entering suspended mode. This shedule type can be used as a workaround for some driver and hardware-specific issues (e.g. some old ATI display adapters don't resume from suspended mode properly when entering it in overclocked state).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task on leaving suspended mode. This schedule type can be used as a replacement for RivaTuner's own "Restore ... after suspended mode" options by means of loading desired overclocking / fan / color profiles as well as for programming additional tasks (e.g. for reconnecting RivaTuner to G15 LCD after resuming from suspended mode).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task on hardware monitoring threshold event. This schedule type replaces previously available programmable monitoring thresholds and it can be used for programming different dynamic overclocking / fan control / gamma correction algorithms depending on different monitored parameters (e.g. dynamic fan control depending on temperature threshold or dynamic clock control depending on hardware acceleration threshold).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task on hardware monitoring range event. This schedule type provides you alternate way for programming different dynamic overclocking / fan control / gamma correction algorithms depending on different monitored parameters, which can be more convenient in case of using multiple thresholds (e.g. when you define dynamic fan control rule based upon 3 or more thermal zones).</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Standard safety measures, allowing you to skip scheduled tasks if necessary (e.g. if you have programmed loading a profile with too agressive overclocking at Windows startup or if you have programmed RivaTuner to close itself at startup). You can hold  key after logging in Windows to skip RivaTuner's tasks scheduled to be started with Windows or you can hold  key during RivaTuner startup to skip RivaTuner's tasks scheduled to be started with it.
</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Better thresholds visualisation features comparing to the previously available technology:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now threshold visualitation can be optionally disabled in the corresponding schedule properties.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now programmed threshold crossing direction is visualised on the graph.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
</li></ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved built-in launcher module:</div></span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Predefined applicaitons list has been removed from the regular launch item editor window. Now the list of predefined applications is integrated directly in file system browser window accessible via the "Browse" button.</div></span></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved experimental SLI support. Please take a note that I have no SLI rig for testing and development, so all SLI related improvements are done blindly and RivaTuner still doesn't provide official SLI support:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added workaround for NVAPI GPU handle leak issue under Windows XP. It is no longer necessary to disable NVAPI usage and loose independent shader domain overclocking features to get multi-GPU overclocking working under Windows XP.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added driver-level NVAPI multi-GPU fan control. Now RivaTuner synchronically applies the same driver-level fan settings to all graphics processors in SLI configuration. Please take a note that it applies to driver-level fan control only, low-level fan tweaks such as custom automatic fan control rule can be applied to the physically selected display adapter only.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now you can disable driver-level NVAPI multi-GPU clock control and fan control via NVAPIMultiGpuClockControl and NVAPIMultiGpuFanControl registry entries if necessary.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved compatibility with Vista UAC:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now RivaTuner can be started at Windows Vista startup via special wrapper application, which doesn't require full administrative privileges and which is not being blocked by UAC's startup infrastructure. Please take a note that RivaTuner itself is still the administrative application so it still requires your evaluation during each startup; wrapper application usage just changes the way of evaluating RivaTuner launch during each OS startup. Now you will see standard UAC evaluation message when Windows starts instead of seeing a message about blocked application in the tray. Take a note that by design of UAC evaluation messages automatically get canceled after 120 seconds timeout, so avoid using new mode if your system is booting itself without your control. The previous startup mode can be also enabled via setting RivaTunerWrapperUsageBehavior to 0.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added power user oriented RequestedExecutionLevel registry entry, allowing changing RivaTuner's execution level without editing the manifest file. This feature can be useful for those who schedule RivaTuner to be started with full administrative rights via other applications like Vista Scheduler.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved RV6xx graphics processors family support:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Extended list of tweakable automatic fan speed control rule parameters for RV6xx fan controllers. Now besides editing previously available thermal lookup RivaTuner can be also used to alter automatic fan speed control mode and select either temperature transfer function mode or thermal lookup mode as well as tweak parameters for temperature transfer function mode (minimum duty cycle, minimum temperature, temperature slope etc.). These settings allow power users to fix infamous HD 38x0 BIOS automatic fan control issues without flashing so called fan fix BIOS.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added direct access to ATI RADEON HD 2xxx/3xxx flashrom chips. Now you can use RivaTuner's /BI command line switch for dumping VGA BIOS image on ATI RADEON HD 2xxx/3xxx family display adapters.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now RivaTuner uses additional reference dividers to provide correct core clock frequency reading on ATI RADEON HD 3870 series after flashing BIOS with PLL VCO divider fix.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now RivaTuner restores default clocks when disabling low-level hardware overclocking by means of the driver's PowerPlay table reset if possible.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Updated RivaTunerStatisticsServer v2.5.0 bundled utility:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now the server supports %FRAMERATE% macro in the OSD text slot, allowing it to display application specific framerate and 3D API usage information instead of shared framerate and 3D API usage information directly sent to OSD by the client application. Power users may prevent RivaTuner from using %FRAMERATE% macro via the EnableFramerateMacroEncoding registry entry.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now the server is able to detect client specific framerate rendering requests and disable own statistics rendering in this case to prevent duplicating framerate info in the OSD.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added Direct3D10 (for non-multisampled frame buffers only) screen capture support.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Extended list of supported screen capture formats. Now the server is able to capture screenshots in *.jpg and *.png formats for Direct3D9 and Direct3D10 applications. Please take a note that these formats can be also specified while capturing desktop, DirectDraw, Direct3D8 ans OpenGL screenshots, but in fact it will result in storing .bmp file with *.jpg or *.png extensions.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now the server is able to capture multiple screenshots at once if multiple 3D applications are running simultaneously.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">The server's startup routine is no longer trying to precache Direct3D10 runtime info under Windows XP to reduce startup time under this OS and avoid stealing the focus from other running applications.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Improved compatibility with applications using multithreaded 3D engines. Reduced risk of crashing the server when unloading it while such 3D application (e.g. Lost Planet : Exteme condition) is running.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now the server is able to provide per-frame frametime statistics of any 3D application to automated third party benchmarking applications (e.g. TPUBench) via the named pipe.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated list of pseudo 3D applications.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved hardware monitoring module:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now "Framerate" graph shows framerate from the focused application if there are multiple 3D applications running simultaneously.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added SEH for clock calculation routines for better protection against incorrect hardware emulation.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Changed default Core/Memory clock graph ranges from 1.5GHz to 2GHz.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Improved NVThermalDiode.dll hardware monitoring plugin. Now the plugin supports G84, G86, G92 and G94 thermal diodes. Please take a note that G92 thermal diode calibration logic seem to be broken in this GPU, that is why the plugin uses approximated conversion of raw G92 thermal diode reading to temperature similar to ASUS SmartDoctor software. Such approximated conversion can be really inaccurate, that is why it is strongly recommended to use the plugin only on non-reference design G92 based display adapters not equipped with external ADT7473 sensor.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved driver-level fan control module:</div></span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now driver-level fan profiles can be used for storing and recalling automatic fan control mode.</div></span></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Now all low-level profiles are linked with target display device by physical display adapter location identifier instead of logical display adapter name. Due to this change all previously created low-level profiles will be invisible to new version and you will need to recreate them.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved generic RivaTuner file format. Now all RivaTuner's files based upon this format (i.e. database build scripts, databases, presets and patch scripts) can use global autoincremental indices similar to previously supported local autoincremental indices, which greatly simplify large files editing and updating.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved context help source format. Now all context help topics added to new version are represented by separate .RTF file to simplify context help translation process for third-party localization packs creators.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]MMIO protection fallback warning is no longer displayed on any MMIO range allocation failure, unprotected MMIO failure warning message has been added.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Now power users may customize the range of scanned PCI buses to allow using RivaTuner with some sophisticated mainboards having more than 16 physical PCI buses. By default RivaTuner scans just the first 16 PCI buses for display adapter presence, however power users may extend the range of scanned PCI buses using the MaxPCIBusNum registry entry.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Protected tabs (i.e. the tabs like "Main" in the main property sheet that cannot be hidden) are now displayed in preview area of the tab order customization window.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Updated Easter Eggs.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Minor UI changes and improvements</div></span></p>
</li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated PCI DeviceID database for ATI graphics processors. Added PCI DeviceID for RADEON HD 3850 AGP.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Improved G94 graphics processors support. Thanks to Jurgen in 't Zandt @ Point of View for providing NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT sample for testing. The list of G94 related improvements includes:</div></span><ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added low-level fan control support for integrated PWM controllers of G94 graphics processors.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Improved driver-level fan control support for integrated PWM controllers of G94 graphics processors. Now RivaTuner can be used for switching between driver-level automatic and driver-level direct fan control modes on GeForce 9600GT series.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved RV6xx graphics processors family support. With this version RivaTuner continues tradition of providing workarounds for bugs existing in fan controller calibration routines of many reference AMD HD 38x0 BIOS images. The list of new workarounds and enhancements includes:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Extended list of tweakable automatic fan speed control rule parameters for RV6xx fan controllers. Now besides editing previously available thermal lookup and temperature transfer formula parameters RivaTuner also allows editing parameters of RV6xx fan controller's acoustic management  system. Acoustic management related parameters include PWM hysteresis and PWM ramp settings, which are also improperly calibrated in certain AMD HD 38x0 BIOS images.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now RivaTuner forcibly resets fan controller's PWM hysteresis settings when adjusting fan speed in fixed mode.

<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added Catalyst 8.3 drivers detection.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated Catalyst 8.3 certified SoftR9x00 patch script (for Windows 2000/XP drivers only).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated PCI DeviceID database for ATI graphics processors. Added PCI DeviceID for RADEON HD 3850 AGP.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Improved G94 graphics processors support. Thanks to Jurgen in 't Zandt @ Point of View for providing NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT sample for testing. The list of G94 related improvements includes:</div></span><ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added low-level fan control support for integrated PWM controllers of G94 graphics processors.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Improved driver-level fan control support for integrated PWM controllers of G94 graphics processors. Now RivaTuner can be used for switching between driver-level automatic and driver-level direct fan control modes on GeForce 9600GT series.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved RV6xx graphics processors family support. With this version RivaTuner continues tradition of providing workarounds for bugs existing in fan controller calibration routines of many reference AMD HD 38x0 BIOS images. The list of new workarounds and enhancements includes:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Extended list of tweakable automatic fan speed control rule parameters for RV6xx fan controllers. Now besides editing previously available thermal lookup and temperature transfer formula parameters RivaTuner also allows editing parameters of RV6xx fan controller's acoustic management  system. Acoustic management related parameters include PWM hysteresis and PWM ramp settings, which are also improperly calibrated in certain AMD HD 38x0 BIOS images.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now RivaTuner forcibly resets fan controller's PWM hysteresis settings when adjusting fan speed in fixed mode. This enhancement provides fine fan speed adjustment in fixed fan speed mode instead of stepwise fan speed adjustment mode on the systems affected by erroneously programmed PWM hysteresis.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Changed representation format for temperature transfer function's T slope parameter. Now the parameter is displayed and edited in percents instead of PWM ticks to simplify transfer formula readability.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Minor UI changes and improvements.</div></span></p>

<p>modifiche apportate:</p>
<blockquote>
<div>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"><strong>Version 2.07:</strong></div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"><strong>Minor bugfixes:</strong></div></span></p>
<ul>
<li><br /></li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Fixed default values for Direct3D Intellisample slider and "Clamp negative mipmap LOD bias" option.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">State of global OSD visibility setting is no longer lost when any other option is being changed immediately after changing the global OSD visibility setting in the properties of bundled RivaTunerStatisticsServer application.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Minor UI and localization fixes.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"><strong>What's new:</strong></div></span></p>
<ul>
<li><br /></li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added ForceWare 171.xx, 173.xx and 174.xx drivers families support.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated databases for Detonator and ForceWare drivers. Added databases for ForceWare 169.09, 169.13, 169.17, 169.21, 169.25, 169.28, 169.32, 169.38, 169.39, 171.16, 171.17, 171.23, 173.65, 173.80, 174.12, 174.13, 174.16, 174.23 and 174.31.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added Catalyst 7.11, 7.12, 8.1 and 8.2 drivers detection. Please take a note that both Catalyst 8.1 and 8.2 share the same binary file versions, so both Catalyst 8.1 and 8.2 will be detected as Catalyst 8.1 or newer.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated Catalyst 7.11, 7.12, 8.1 and 8.2 certified SoftR9x00 patch script (for Windows 2000/XP drivers only).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated PCI DeviceID database for both ATI and NVIDIA graphics processors. Added PCI DeviceIDs for RADEON 2600XT AGP, RADEON 2900GT, RADEON HD 3870 X2 and GeForce 8800GTS 512 SKUs. Please take a note that RivaTuner doesn't provide official Crossfire support, so RADEON HD 3870 X2 support can be limited to single GPU functionality under certain conditions.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Unlocked previously available experimental RV635 graphics processors support. Thanks to Andrey Vorobiev for testing RivaTuner with ATI RADEON HD3650.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added experimental G94 graphics processors support. Thanks to Andrey Vorobiev and Hilbert Hagedoorn for testing RivaTuner with NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added powerful built-in task scheduler module. Task scheduler has been designed as more flexible and more programmable replacement for the previously available programmable monitoring thresholds technology, providing you the following functionality:</div></span><ul><li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Ability to automate startup of any desired application (e.g. RivaTunerStatisticsServer) or launch item (e.g. combination of fan and overclocking profiles or shortcut to RivaTuner's hardware monitoring module GUI) on specified schedule. The following schedule types are currently supported:</div></span><ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task at Windows startup. This schedule type can be used as a replacement for RivaTuner's own "Run ... at Windows startup" options by means of loading desired overclocking / fan / color profiles as well as for programming additional sophisticated tasks (e.g. for programming VRM module at OS startup by means of RivaTuner's command line interface for direct access to GPU registers).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task at RivaTuner startup. This schedule type can be used to automate startup of some applications, which you need to run in conjunction with RivaTuner only (e.g. RivaTunerStatisticsServer) or for activating some GUI windows (e.g. Hardware monitoring window) at RivaTuner startup.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task at RivaTuner shutdown. This schedule type can be used to automate shutdown of some applications, which you need to run in conjunction with RivaTuner only (e.g. RivaTunerStatisticsServer).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task on entering suspended mode. This shedule type can be used as a workaround for some driver and hardware-specific issues (e.g. some old ATI display adapters don't resume from suspended mode properly when entering it in overclocked state).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task on leaving suspended mode. This schedule type can be used as a replacement for RivaTuner's own "Restore ... after suspended mode" options by means of loading desired overclocking / fan / color profiles as well as for programming additional tasks (e.g. for reconnecting RivaTuner to G15 LCD after resuming from suspended mode).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task on hardware monitoring threshold event. This schedule type replaces previously available programmable monitoring thresholds and it can be used for programming different dynamic overclocking / fan control / gamma correction algorithms depending on different monitored parameters (e.g. dynamic fan control depending on temperature threshold or dynamic clock control depending on hardware acceleration threshold).</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Run task on hardware monitoring range event. This schedule type provides you alternate way for programming different dynamic overclocking / fan control / gamma correction algorithms depending on different monitored parameters, which can be more convenient in case of using multiple thresholds (e.g. when you define dynamic fan control rule based upon 3 or more thermal zones).</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Standard safety measures, allowing you to skip scheduled tasks if necessary (e.g. if you have programmed loading a profile with too agressive overclocking at Windows startup or if you have programmed RivaTuner to close itself at startup). You can hold  key after logging in Windows to skip RivaTuner's tasks scheduled to be started with Windows or you can hold  key during RivaTuner startup to skip RivaTuner's tasks scheduled to be started with it.
</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Better thresholds visualisation features comparing to the previously available technology:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now threshold visualitation can be optionally disabled in the corresponding schedule properties.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now programmed threshold crossing direction is visualised on the graph.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
</li></ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved built-in launcher module:</div></span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Predefined applicaitons list has been removed from the regular launch item editor window. Now the list of predefined applications is integrated directly in file system browser window accessible via the "Browse" button.</div></span></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved experimental SLI support. Please take a note that I have no SLI rig for testing and development, so all SLI related improvements are done blindly and RivaTuner still doesn't provide official SLI support:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added workaround for NVAPI GPU handle leak issue under Windows XP. It is no longer necessary to disable NVAPI usage and loose independent shader domain overclocking features to get multi-GPU overclocking working under Windows XP.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added driver-level NVAPI multi-GPU fan control. Now RivaTuner synchronically applies the same driver-level fan settings to all graphics processors in SLI configuration. Please take a note that it applies to driver-level fan control only, low-level fan tweaks such as custom automatic fan control rule can be applied to the physically selected display adapter only.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now you can disable driver-level NVAPI multi-GPU clock control and fan control via NVAPIMultiGpuClockControl and NVAPIMultiGpuFanControl registry entries if necessary.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved compatibility with Vista UAC:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now RivaTuner can be started at Windows Vista startup via special wrapper application, which doesn't require full administrative privileges and which is not being blocked by UAC's startup infrastructure. Please take a note that RivaTuner itself is still the administrative application so it still requires your evaluation during each startup; wrapper application usage just changes the way of evaluating RivaTuner launch during each OS startup. Now you will see standard UAC evaluation message when Windows starts instead of seeing a message about blocked application in the tray. Take a note that by design of UAC evaluation messages automatically get canceled after 120 seconds timeout, so avoid using new mode if your system is booting itself without your control. The previous startup mode can be also enabled via setting RivaTunerWrapperUsageBehavior to 0.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added power user oriented RequestedExecutionLevel registry entry, allowing changing RivaTuner's execution level without editing the manifest file. This feature can be useful for those who schedule RivaTuner to be started with full administrative rights via other applications like Vista Scheduler.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved RV6xx graphics processors family support:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Extended list of tweakable automatic fan speed control rule parameters for RV6xx fan controllers. Now besides editing previously available thermal lookup RivaTuner can be also used to alter automatic fan speed control mode and select either temperature transfer function mode or thermal lookup mode as well as tweak parameters for temperature transfer function mode (minimum duty cycle, minimum temperature, temperature slope etc.). These settings allow power users to fix infamous HD 38x0 BIOS automatic fan control issues without flashing so called fan fix BIOS.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added direct access to ATI RADEON HD 2xxx/3xxx flashrom chips. Now you can use RivaTuner's /BI command line switch for dumping VGA BIOS image on ATI RADEON HD 2xxx/3xxx family display adapters.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now RivaTuner uses additional reference dividers to provide correct core clock frequency reading on ATI RADEON HD 3870 series after flashing BIOS with PLL VCO divider fix.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now RivaTuner restores default clocks when disabling low-level hardware overclocking by means of the driver's PowerPlay table reset if possible.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Updated RivaTunerStatisticsServer v2.5.0 bundled utility:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now the server supports %FRAMERATE% macro in the OSD text slot, allowing it to display application specific framerate and 3D API usage information instead of shared framerate and 3D API usage information directly sent to OSD by the client application. Power users may prevent RivaTuner from using %FRAMERATE% macro via the EnableFramerateMacroEncoding registry entry.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now the server is able to detect client specific framerate rendering requests and disable own statistics rendering in this case to prevent duplicating framerate info in the OSD.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added Direct3D10 (for non-multisampled frame buffers only) screen capture support.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Extended list of supported screen capture formats. Now the server is able to capture screenshots in *.jpg and *.png formats for Direct3D9 and Direct3D10 applications. Please take a note that these formats can be also specified while capturing desktop, DirectDraw, Direct3D8 ans OpenGL screenshots, but in fact it will result in storing .bmp file with *.jpg or *.png extensions.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now the server is able to capture multiple screenshots at once if multiple 3D applications are running simultaneously.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">The server's startup routine is no longer trying to precache Direct3D10 runtime info under Windows XP to reduce startup time under this OS and avoid stealing the focus from other running applications.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Improved compatibility with applications using multithreaded 3D engines. Reduced risk of crashing the server when unloading it while such 3D application (e.g. Lost Planet : Exteme condition) is running.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now the server is able to provide per-frame frametime statistics of any 3D application to automated third party benchmarking applications (e.g. TPUBench) via the named pipe.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Updated list of pseudo 3D applications.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved hardware monitoring module:</div></span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now "Framerate" graph shows framerate from the focused application if there are multiple 3D applications running simultaneously.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Added SEH for clock calculation routines for better protection against incorrect hardware emulation.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li>
<span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Changed default Core/Memory clock graph ranges from 1.5GHz to 2GHz.</div></span><br />
</li>
<li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Improved NVThermalDiode.dll hardware monitoring plugin. Now the plugin supports G84, G86, G92 and G94 thermal diodes. Please take a note that G92 thermal diode calibration logic seem to be broken in this GPU, that is why the plugin uses approximated conversion of raw G92 thermal diode reading to temperature similar to ASUS SmartDoctor software. Such approximated conversion can be really inaccurate, that is why it is strongly recommended to use the plugin only on non-reference design G92 based display adapters not equipped with external ADT7473 sensor.</div></span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved driver-level fan control module:</div></span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">Now driver-level fan profiles can be used for storing and recalling automatic fan control mode.</div></span></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px"> </div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Now all low-level profiles are linked with target display device by physical display adapter location identifier instead of logical display adapter name. Due to this change all previously created low-level profiles will be invisible to new version and you will need to recreate them.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved generic RivaTuner file format. Now all RivaTuner's files based upon this format (i.e. database build scripts, databases, presets and patch scripts) can use global autoincremental indices similar to previously supported local autoincremental indices, which greatly simplify large files editing and updating.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Improved context help source format. Now all context help topics added to new version are represented by separate .RTF file to simplify context help translation process for third-party localization packs creators.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]MMIO protection fallback warning is no longer displayed on any MMIO range allocation failure, unprotected MMIO failure warning message has been added.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Now power users may customize the range of scanned PCI buses to allow using RivaTuner with some sophisticated mainboards having more than 16 physical PCI buses. By default RivaTuner scans just the first 16 PCI buses for display adapter presence, however power users may extend the range of scanned PCI buses using the MaxPCIBusNum registry entry.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Protected tabs (i.e. the tabs like "Main" in the main property sheet that cannot be hidden) are now displayed in preview area of the tab order customization window.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Updated Easter Eggs.</div></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana"><div style="margin-left:25px">[*]Minor UI changes and improvements</div></span></p>
</li>
</ul>
