I think almost every geek com­puter user that using mod­ern GPU know what is RivaTuner. Yes, that tools was build by Unwinder from Guru3D.com and use for tweak­ing Graph­ics Proces­sor Unit both from ATI or Nvidia based. Every kind aspect like GPU or Mem­ory clock changer, reg­istry mod or some dri­ver level tweak­ing by power user can be done easy with fin­ger.  And this time, i want share how to make RivaTuner work­ing with dynamic clock­ing in 2D/3D switch mode. This tweak can be use for auto­matic over­clock util­ity accord­ing to GPU work­load. In 2D mode (desk­top) core and mem­ory clock can be switch to be lower for make them cooler and silent. That’s the per­fect sit­u­a­t­ian for lis­ten­ing music or watch­ing your favorite movie and then if you are expect­ing more GPU power for gam­ing time they work­ing stick prop­erly give you more enjoy­ing frame per second

The first time you must be prepar­ing the tools and your rigs. You can down­load lat­est RivaTuner 2.24 from here and for this pur­pose tips writ­ing here i using oldies Geforce 9600GT G94 based GPU. Here the tips that i explain above.

1. Install with prop­erly RivaTuner in your rig. This is the one impor­tant here cause if RivaTuner can’t rec­og­nize your card prop­erly you can’t using my tips for these moment.

2. Open Hard­ware Mon­i­tor­ing tabs and make sure they work­ing prop­erly and with here sec­tion you can cus­tomize the mon­i­tor­ing item plu­gin as your card prop­er­ties. Look at “Data Source” and make sure the “Hard­ware Accel­er­a­tion” was tick on.

3. Cre­ate 2D and 3D clock pro­file over­clock GPU in “Dri­ver Level Sys­tem Tweaks”. You can adjust­ing your core, shader and mem­ory clock and test­ing them for sta­bil­ity mode. After that, go to “Launcher” tabs sec­tion and make both pro­file for main pur­pose. For exam­ple my card can work 3d mode with core/shader/ram 720÷1800÷1125 Mhz and i will make them easy cool with 2D mode default fac­tory clock only. For GPU fan adjust­ment i will raise for 65% speed in 3D mode and only using 15% speed in 2D mode to avoid noise.

3. Goto “Sched­uler” tab sec­tion and make again 2 pro­file switch changer here. Hit the green “Add New Task” cross and do this:
For 3D select Launch “item” on spec­i­fied sched­ule and select the 3D pro­file you cre­ated ear­lier in step 3. Run Task on “hard­ware mon­i­tor­ing range event” In Data Source select “Har­ware accel­er­a­tion” and set a range of 0.5 min and 1.0 max. Now add a new task for 2D. Same as above except you select the 2D pro­file you cre­ated in step 3 and your range will be 0.0 min and 0.49 max. One tips for Data sam­pling and freeze period lower that 100ms will act to aggre­sively change and my rec­om­mended between range 100ms — 250ms here.

4. Great.… now you can test­ing your pro­file switcher with appli­ca­tion that using 3d Accel­er­a­tion from GPU. That is my tips today and many thanks for reading.

You can test your pro­file 2D/3D mode with appli­ca­tion mode.
