-
- No NT4 support, sorry.

-
- What is NVmax?
- --------------
-
- NVmax is a tweaking program for maximizing NVIDIA video
- card performance, quality and reliability. Featuring a
- unique and user friendly interface, NVmax allows you to
- effortlessly control all video and related features in
- just a few clicks. Features an array of functions, such
- as advanced preset control,'real-time' overclocking, AGP
- settings and color control.
-
- NVmax does not need to be running to set functions as it
- works alongside the NVIDIA drivers and uses the registry
- to save settings. However, you can run NVmax in the
- system tray for quick access at a minimal memory resource
- usage.
-
-
- Requirements
- ------------
-
- NVmax is fully compatible with: Windows 95, 98, 98SE,
- Millennium, 2000 and XP.
-
- To use all features you will require Detonator 6.47
- drivers or later. NVmax is backward compatible with 5.xx,
- 3.xx. We do not recommend using NVmax with 2.xx drivers
- or earlier.
-
-
- Device Detection
- ----------------
-
- NVmax uses a complex procedure to detect all NVIDIA
- compatible cards with a vendor ID of 10. If NVmax does
- not display your card, and you are using Detonator or
- compatible drivers please contact support and we will work
- to provide a prompt solution for you and other users.
-
-
- Overclocking
- ------------
-
- NVmax features full overclocking support.
-
- Warning: NVmax allows much higher speeds then possible
- for your hardware to run at. If you set the speed too
- high then you run the risk of overheating your card and
- damaging it. Please only use this feature if you know
- what you are doing.
-
-
- If at anytime the speed reported is inaccurate you may
- wish to disable any other NVIDIA tweakers, which can
- cause problems. To solve the problem disable overclocking
- in NVmax and restart the computer.
-
-
- AGP Advanced functions
- ----------------------
-
- Fastwrites may cause your system to be unbootable, and/or
- garble the screen on bootup. If this happens, run NVmax
- in safemode and use the restore settings feature.
-
- NVmax only enables the agp speed in the drivers
- and does not set the actual speed. You may need to use
- NVmax alongside the function in your motherboard bios and
- motherboard AGP gart drivers if available. Some video
- card bios have features disabled for compatibility. Use
- our forum to get more information or see your hardware
- vendor for details on whether your hardware supports
- these functions.
-
-
- Help & Safety
- -------------
-
- Installation automatically backups up your settings
- when you save NVmax. Read all information provided by
- NVmax carefully. A feature is provided to
- restore to default settings. This option is also
- accessable in safemode.
