NVClock Version 0.5.0,
 
site: http://www.evil3d.net/products/NVClock

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 only
./configure --prefix=/usr

Gtk gui
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gtk

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

Everything
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-gtk --enable-qt

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
    -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
