Minor bugfixes:

Fixed display adapter location detection code. Due to the glitch in the previous location detection algorithm RivaTuner could fail to detect display adapter's location on certain systems.

Fixed corrupted 'High quality ' preset for Windows9x.

Fixed some resource and memory leaks.

Minor UI fixes.

What's new: Read More

Revised AGP/PCI bus type detection for TNT based boards.

Revised 64/128-bit memory bus type detection for NV10 graphics processors. Now RivaTuner can detect underground assembled NV10 based boards with 64-bit memory bus.

Added RTPatchesFix patch script. This patch unlocks the driver's D3DDEVCAPS_QUINTICRTPATCHES and D3DDEVCAPS_RTPATCHES capabilities, which have been disabled in the Detonator 21.xx and higher.

Added integration with Explorer shell. Now RivaTuner's patch script (*.rts) and preset (*.rtp) files can be opened with the Explorer. RivaTuner must be started at least once before doing this in order to register *.rts and *.rtp shell extensions.

Added integration with Windows desktop. The button is now available in the Launcher tab's context menu. This button allows you to create a shortcut for any launcher item and use RivaTuner's launcher by clicking a desktop icon.

Added 'Enable multisample masking' Direct3D option for GeForce3 and Detonator 21.xx or higher.

Added '2x + 1 x 2 SSAA' antialiasing mode for GeForce3 and Detonator 21.xx or higher.

Added SiS 645 and SiS 735 northbridges support to the low level graphics subsystem diagnostic module.

Added new report categories to the low level graphics subsystem diagnostic module. Now RivaTuner can dump the capabilities of IDirect3D7 (both HAL and TnL HAL) and IDirect3D8 HAL. RivaTuner's report comparison tool allows you to track changes in the Direct3D driver's capabilities.

Added experimental low level 7,159MHz granular memory clock adjustment mode for DDR boards (GeForce2 Ultra, GeForce3 and so on). This mode is currently hidden from inexperienced users, but the power users may play with the FreezeMPLLM and FreezeMPLLP registry entries.

Windows95 is no longer supported since this version.

Minor UI changes and improvements.
