kinda pointless now we have coolbits :)

Exactly what I was thinking, I read the reviews/screenshots over at Phoronix, pretty much nvidia-settings in another form. Would have been nice say 6 months ago, but now it's more than pointless.

Still, kudos to the dev who managed it. I used to use it back in the days before cool bits and it was always very good :)

Coolbits is only supported on newer cards (which really don't need to be overclocked :p ). But with NVclock you can overclock your trustworthy Geforce4 for example.

I knew my post had some validity.

Was starting to feel insecure.
