nvclock-0.6.2-1mdk.ppc.rpm

NVClock Version 0.6.2,
 
site: http://nvclock.sourceforge.net

Introduction
============

This program allows you to overclock your NVIDIA based graphics card under Linux.


Building, installing and using
==============================

First you have to do ./autogen.sh then choose one of the steps below.

Command line version and GTK version only. If no GTK headers are found it is disabled.
NVClock chooses the best GTK version availible on the computer.
./configure --prefix=/usr

Qt gui
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-qt to compile the qt gui too
(qt doesn't work very well with the makefiles)


make
make install

Usage:

./NVClock

    -m      --memclk       :  the new RAM  clock in MHz
    -n      --nvclk        :  the new Core clock in MHz.
    -c	    --card	   :  selects card (default 1)
    -s      --speeds	   :  shows current speeds
    -i	    --info	   :  show detailed card info
    -d	    --debug	   :  show debug information
    -f	    --force	   :  force a card to overclock

You can use any option you want. You can type -m --m -memclk --memclk= and so on.
Also, you don't have to enter both memory and core speeds.

If you don't have any experience with overclocking, start with adjusting the speeds
in 1 MHz increments*. 

*Not every memory speed can be set. This is the case for cards with DDR memory running
higher than 300 MHz. This is not a bug in NVClock. It is a hardware limitation. At speeds higher than 380 MHz overclocking takes place in steps of 6-7 MHz or sometimes even 13-14MHz. 

Acknowledgments
===============

Thanks go to:

 o Matan Ziv-Av for creating nvcs, the original overclocking tool for NVIDIA cards.
 o Christian Zander (Phoenix) for cleaning up the code
 o Jan Prokop for creating a qt version
 o NVIDIA, for having good Linux drivers
 o Ashley from EntechTaiwan for helping me a bit.

Plans for the future
====================

Things you will see:
 o XF86Config editing (twinview, tvout, ....)
 o agp-settings (fastwrites, sidebandaddressing, ....)
 o VSYNC on/off
 o FSAA, S3TC
 o hardware monitoring on cards that support it (don't have a capable card here)
 o BIOS reading support (needed for default speeds)
 o more
