Use your graphics card on demand

These days, computers seem to have become a personal thing that everyone can live without. Personalized chassis, personalized desktop, everything by my own grasp, no longer rigidly adhere to the design of advertising-like manufacturers. However, do you know how to make your graphics card work as you wish?

Perhaps you will say: "I am still a rookie, is an ordinary user, will not play so deep, so dazzling" hard "kungfu, do not know how to set this what use." Xi hee, then you really do not know the mystery of it!

Video card settings worthy of attention

If the display parameter settings, I believe many friends have heard, it and we have a lot of 3D applications are closely related. For example, some 3D parameter settings, if the setting is not good, may cause some 3D game screen effect is not smooth, the scene shows error, even more will cause some games can not start normally. Of course, the setting of 3D parameters is very complicated, not the point we are going to talk about today. Here we are talking about another kind of graphics card hardware parameter setting.

A reference to the hardware parameter settings, many people may be a little nervous, because this has been the professional DIY masters play the "High-tech", which is my turn to civilians. However, you may not have noticed, in fact, many graphics card manufacturers have taken into account the personalized needs of everyone, in their respective graphics drivers have provided some of these parameters to adjust the function to facilitate your use of your graphics resources on demand. So you should also pay attention to this seemingly small, but very practical function.

Adjust skillfully using

Take me this piece of gigabyte (gigabyte) Thor GV-RX16P256DE Super strong graphics card! It not only has the current mainstream ATI Radeon X1600pro display core and 256MB 128-bit gddrii memory and TV/DVI and other powerful video features, and more importantly, it also has no fan cooling design, working without noise, so that I can more focus on playing games, See blockbuster, this is also I most admire it place!

However, on the one hand, taking into account the internal cooling of the chassis (especially in the summer), on the other hand also consider to save electricity (xi hee, the corresponding national call!) , so I will often manually set the video core and the working frequency of memory. In the past, many heroes may use PowerStrip and other general-purpose graphics overclocking tools to FM, and I prefer to use the video card with the FM tool V-tuner 2 plus! The reason is simple, compared with the universal overclocking tool, this is simpler, more intuitive, and has automatic adaptation, automatic protection, use more secure.

V-tuner is a simple, easy-to-use monitoring and optimization tool that Gigabyte specializes in its graphics card. The latest version of the video chip for the temperature monitoring, fan speed, operating voltage status display and automatic adjustment function (according to the graphics card hardware design different automatic adjustment), but also provides the display chip and video memory working frequency of direct adjustment function.

But to activate V-tuner, you have to pay for dessert. Because it does not automatically follow the system driver to your computer by default, you must manually choose to install the Gigabyte tool from the CD-ROM from the boot installation interface to install it accordingly. This also causes the majority of users do not understand this feature.

　　

The use of V-tuner is very simple. After successfully installing and restarting the system, you can see the Gigabyte logo in the system bar on the bottom right corner of the desktop. On its right click on the mouse, from the pop-up menu to select V-tuner2, you can call the V-tuner main control interface.

　　

V-tuner design is also very fashionable, it gives us 2 kinds of color scheme skin to choose. Personal habits, in the winter with the Red Race (racing), in the summer with the Blue Jet (Jet). Of course, you can also choose according to different mood.

Manipulating the V-tuner is easier, and you can visually see the current display core and video memory working frequency on the screen. As long as you need to use, gently drag the appropriate slider to achieve the most appropriate state. For example, my gv-rx16p256de default display core and video memory working frequency are 494MHz and 772MHz respectively. But usually at home is the last net, chat, receive mail, at best is to write something with Office, watch an online movie or something (busy!). )。 Therefore, I will be the video card core and memory frequency to 461MHz and 732MHz, and to save. This will not affect my normal speed of use, but also reduce power consumption, to ensure that the temperature in my chassis is the lowest. Even if you turn it on for a long time, you don't have to worry about the machine overheating or the noise that's bothering me to sleep. Of course, weekends, holidays, invite a few friends to play at home, to a "Acura", kicking a "FIFA", I will temporarily display the core and video memory frequency of up to 630MHz and 900MHz, and timely open adaptive options to ensure that the game performance to play incisively and vividly.

How, in fact, a very simple few, you can make your computer completely according to your needs to work. Need it fast, on the super level play, do not need, let it cost less electricity. It's worth trying, isn't it?
