Using RivaTuner
Using RivaTuner
(OP)
The videocard I use at work is an nVidia GeForce 6800 GT, PCI Express with 256MB memory. The one I use at home is an ATI Radeon X1300, PCI Express with 512MB memory.
I would like to use RivaTuner to tweak both these videocards into something closer to SolidWorks approved cards.
I believe the latest RivaTuner release which is 2.0 RC15.8 has support for both GeForce 6800 GT and X1300.
My questions are:
1.Was anyone succesful in tweaking any of the videeo cards mentioned above?
2. What are the steps in using RivaTuner?
I spent a lot of time at www.guru3d.com but couldn't find a clear answer or a step by step guide, so please, don't tell me to go there.

RE: Using RivaTuner
I start with the complete instructions from www.nvworld.ru
Rivatuner & softquadro4.
Had a 4200x8 to start that worked as Quadro.
Then got a partially faulty 6800NU put that in without uninstalling driver & it detected it as FX4000 !
Also there is a site that shows where to change 2 or 3 surface mount resistors & gives Dell bios to realy change a 6800 into a proper FX4000 (also other AGP such as FX5700=FX1000 & FX5900=FX3000) all the details. If you search you should find it if your game.

You might have more luck with the ATI card, if it is supported in the 5.13 driver you can find proper patch scripts for that one.

But watch www.newbietech.net
Just upgraded at work from GeForce to FX1300, it rocks in comparison for SW.
