Quote - For those running nvidia cards you should install the nvidia system tools. It allows tweaking for a lot of cards as well as an update feature for the latest drivers.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Nvidia System Tools only for people who have an Nvidia nforce motherboard chipset?
I tried it on a comp with an Intel chipset and it just crashed the whole system upon loading, big time. As in, total system freeze. Repeatedly and consistently. That was a while ago though, so I don't know if maybe the newer version is more compatible with other chipsets or not.
But their "Products Supported" page only lists nforce motherboards.
Anybody reading this may want to look into it before trying it...
And you probably don't want your Intel chipset drivers being auto-updated with nforce drivers. ;-)
Not only that, but it's really not a good idea to always update to the latest Nvidia graphics drivers without checking it out first. Auto-updates of any kind are really not a good idea, period.
