ASUS Announces GPU Tweak III Open Beta
2021/01/18
GPU Tweak overclocking utility has been revamped with an intuitive new interface, automatic profile swapping, and a development process empowered by user feedback
TAIPEI, Taiwan, January 18, 2020 — ASUS announced that today is the start of the open beta for GPU Tweak III, the all-in-one utility for graphics card tuning and hardware monitoring. With its fresh, revamped interface, GPU Tweak III places all of the core overclocking and fan controls right at the forefront to make getting extra performance out of GPUs is quicker and easier than ever. New customization options allow users to resize and reorganize the dashboard, monitoring window, and on-screen display so they can access the exact information they need at any given time. After tweaking profiles for particular games or apps, users can configure GPU Tweak III to manage settings in the background by linking programs through the new Profile Connect feature.
Retuned and tested
In mid-2018,
ASUS launched a multi-stage testing and feedback program for GPU Tweak II that
culminated into a long-term open beta conducted on the ROG forums. Using the
immense amount of user data spanning multitudes of hardware configurations, the
GPU Tweak team improved the core overclocking functionality, tuned the backend
engine’s stability, and rolled out new features like the OC Scanner in a
measured fashion.
So, for the
third iteration of GPU Tweak, ASUS aimed to build a flexible architecture that
could accentuate the varied use cases of its vast community. Almost every element
of the UI can be rescaled, reorganized, and recolored to suit the user’s
environment and draw attention to the metrics and data the user wants to track
while tuning their system. More performance stats can be monitored, and all of
them can be viewed in two different ways on the scalable desktop window or
in-game via the extremely customizable OSD style made for GPU Tweak III. To
help track metrics over time, users can now also export logs and re-import them
to compare performance between sessions.
Under the
hood, graphics card tuning and overclocking remains the core focus. The newest
version has undergone multiple testing phases to ensure reliable performance
with all ASUS, ROG, and TUF Gaming consumer graphics cards while retaining
support for graphics cards from other vendors. Preset OC and Silent Modes have
been optimized for the latest Nvidia and AMD GPUs, and users who manually tune
their cards or use the OC Scanner can now use a save feature to keep settings intact
when making system changes. Fan settings now include temperature hysteresis and
polling period options to let users control how quickly and smoothly fans
respond to thermal changes.
