NVTweak (Formerly Coolbits)

Designed for those who want to constantly improve the performance of their computer, NVTweak is a useful application that allows you to view an additional set of options in the Classic Nvidia Control Panel.

With NVTweak, you can supervise lots of performance areas. Among these, you can find options such as Fan control, Debugging, Twin View, AGP and Hardware settings or OpenGL support.

NVTweak provides a user-friendly interface, with an easy way to enable various functions. You can use it in various ways, including for overclocking jobs, although you should know what you are doing in order to preserve the stability of the system.

You also have at your disposal some advanced tweaks, which enable you to enhance overall system performance by forcing the core Windows system to be kept in memory and not paged to the disk. This is really useful on systems with a large amount of RAM. Moreover, NVTweak includes an option that enables you to optimize the system cache size for a desktop computer or even a network server.

Another interesting feature is the 'NTFS Last Access Time Stamp'. When accessing a directory on an NTFS volume, Windows automatically updates the last access time stamp, which can affect your computer efficiency if the number of folders is large. So with this setting enabled, you can easily increase PC performance. These advanced tweaks are very useful and having to restart your computer for activating each of them could be considered a minor impediment considering the benefits.

More than that, if you are interested in the graphics card temperature, NVTweak offers the possibility to receive a warning when the GPU core temp exceeds threshold.

In conclusion, NVTweak was created in order to help system builders or other users find out the optimal settings for their computer. It is a video tweak that comes in handy when you want to enhance your system performance in an easy way.
