Rivatuner & G92 Based 8800 GTS

[FZ1]

I noticed my fan running slow on my 8800 GTS (G92) card and it getting insanely hot when running (it's clocked at 730 by default). So, I installed Rivatuner to adjust the fan speed. I have used Rivatuner before but when I tried to access the settings, they weren't available.

So, a little bit of Google-ing led me to this find out that RivaTuner doesn't recognize the new 8800 GTS (G92) as of the current version 2.06, Howeverm if you go to RivaTuner.cfg, open it with a text editor, find the line reads:

Code: Select all

G92= 610h-61Fh

change this to (append ",600h"):

Code: Select all

G92= 610h-61Fh,600h

Everything should work from there. Make sure you have permission to alter the file first.

Make sure you download the latest version , 2.06 . I have no problems with RivaTunner (2.06) in XP/Vista x64 and my 8800GT .

Also ... look for a possible new bios for your card as there is a bios fan bug in most/all the the new G92 cards . Evga and BFG have already posted new bio's updates for the GT series that fix the slow fan speed bug .

This is specifically for the 8800 GTS 512MB G92 cards. The GT's are OK.
