Alternative To Nvidia Control Panel?

[Darkwave]

Hey guys,

I've been using ATI for some time now, and last time I used Nvidia it was just a typical settings window with tabs. I've just gotten an 8800GTS and am having a hell of a time navigating this newfangled control panel.

I'm just too used to ATI Tray Tools and I miss it terribly, is there anything similar for Nvidia?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely yours,
Ulfhedjinn.

Rivatuner is my fav. More settings than you could shake a stick at.

What Rivatuner can't do with a graphics card could be written on the back of a stamp with a pneumatic drill.

I'll try RivaTuner, thanks.

I wouldn't mind the old CP if you know how to enable it.

RivaTuner seems good though, used to use this to clock my 6600GT. Completely forgot about it.

Yeah, came up with it myself actually

i think you goto view then select 'use classic control panel'

Looked all over for that option and the closest thing I can find is opening a classic "Windows Explorer" style pane, really doesn't help matters much though because the settings page is still glitchy.

I'm using Rivatuner for now, seems to do everything just fine.

you have to edit your registry to enable the old style cp

run regedit

goto

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies

right click in the right hand pane

new DWORD Value , call it SedonaDisable add the hexadecimal value 2

exit

old cp will now be avail

remember editing registry is dangerous and I wont be responsible

new CSAA modes will not be avail in old cp

I.E. enhance application setting and 8x , 8xQ , 16x and 16xQ won't be avail but you can still set that in the new cp.

i made it as a reg file
(right click, save as)
