I'm thinking the per-app power management has F@H in mind. My GTX260s get pretty toasty and spin the power meter pretty gaily, though they do crank out the points. Being able to specify a lower clock and power for F@H while having full power for games might get me interested in it again.

CUDA performance increases are welcome, but the power thingy is worthless. I don't know how much it would underclock a GPU, but I already have a RivaTuner profile that runs my card at 30% of its stock speed with minimum fan speed and I made that the default.

Sucks that they didn't include support for certain 8-series GPUs which are the same as 9-series. I'd also much rather see them add idle downclocking to cards that currently don't have it, and better power management in general. My GTX 260 wouldn't downclock on the desktop with dual monitors displaying Aero - I hardly doubt it needed to run at full speed in that situation.

Why are the 8 series left out? I'd imagine that there's still a pretty significant base of the 8 series installed. At least on Steam, the 8800 and 8600 series cards are still the top used cards, according to their hardware survey. And I'd imagine that their survey is a good representation of the market.

If it's a technical issue, they should have included at least the 8 series cards based on the G92, since many of the 9 series cards are based on the same chip.

This could be handy, my GTX 295 keeps going into performance 3d mode when watching SD videos, it's a little over the top.

yay! Something else to go wrong. :p
