RivaTuner is a freeware overclocking and hardware monitoring program that was first developed by Alexey Nicolaychuk in 1997 for the Nvidia video cards. It was a pioneering application that influenced (and in some cases was integrated into) the design of subsequent freeware graphics card overclocking and monitoring utilities. It supports Nvidia GPUs from the Riva TNT to the GeForce 700 series, and has limited support for the ATI/AMD Radeon series of video cards from the Radeon 8500 and above.
For users of supported GPUs, RivaTuner is one of the most commonly used software tools for overclocking. It allows the user to perform driver-level Direct3D and OpenGL tweaking through a graphical interface, and also enables low-level hardware monitoring. It supported Nvidia drivers from versions Detonator 2.08 to the ForceWare versions released in 2009. RivaTuner currently works with Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 x32, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11. It also works with the older Windows 98, 98 SE and ME, but without official support.
