NVIDIA Inspector

Nvidia Inspector is a program with great features to tune the performance of your graphics card. You can use it to create a working profile that adjusts the clock speed and heatsink speed according to your requirements. In addition, you can use power saving in the program.

NVIDIA Inspector program interface

The interface of the NVIDIA Inspector program is simple and intuitive. At startup, the main window appears with all the main technical specifications of the video card.

Some interface elements:

  • Name – name of the graphics card;
  • GPU – name of the GPU;
  • BIOS – video card BIOS;
  • Device ID – device identifier;
  • Subvendor – video card manufacturer;
  • ROPs – number of ROP modules (rendering output modules);
  • Shaders – number of shader modules;
  • PCIe Interface – version and type of PCI Express interface;
  • Bus Width – memory bus width;
  • Memory Size – video memory size;
  • Mem Type – memory type and manufacturer;
  • Driver Version – video driver version;
  • Temperature – GPU temperature;
  • Power – power consumption of the video card;
  • Voltage – GPU voltage;
  • Fan – fan speed in percent;
  • Speed – actual speed of the video card cooler;
  • P-State – current power state of the video card (different power modes according to the load);
  • GPU Load – video chip load;
  • Current Clock – current frequency of the video chip;
  • GPU Clock – overclocked video chip frequency;
  • Default Clock – default frequency of the video chip;
  • Memory – current memory frequency/overclocked memory frequency/default memory frequency;
  • Boost – GPU frequency in Boost mode.

Clicking on the “Show Overclocking” button opens the settings for controlling frequencies, GPU voltage and fan speed.

Using NVIDIA Inspector:

  • Download NVIDIA Inspector.
  • Run the downloaded file. The main window of the software displays the properties of the video adapter. However, we need to start the program. To do this, look at the bottom of the window to make sure the program has detected the correct hardware. If not, click on that item.
  • Adjust the performance.

Use the last three commands (Memory Clock, Base Clock Offset, and Voltage) to overclock. The first command will help ensure safe operation of the video card. Perform overclocking carefully. Enter each indicator separately: specify a parameter → see how the card performs → change the next parameter. Confirm the selected settings by clicking the “Apply Clock and Voltage” button. Then run the 3DMark application or another tester to see if the device works.

  1. NVIDIA Inspector, a program, consists of two parts. One is for information and also for software overclocking. The second is for optimizing games.
  2. The program is free, but only for NVIDIA graphics cards.

NVIDIA Inspector features:

  • Display information about the video card.
  • Software overclocking (use with caution).
  • Optimization of games (I think it is useful for weak computers).
