A few questions about GeForce Tweak Utility....Anyone using this?

[Se7en01]

I have been playing with this thing for a few days now and it has really helped me tweak my settings, I like it. However, I have a few questions about it that I could not find the answers to in the FAQ or Help files.

1. Does it "Overide" any settings I make using the normal "Advanced Settings" under windows, "Display Properties?" Or do they work in conjunction with each other?

2. Whenever I try to set my OpenGL FSAA to Qx2x2, it tells me to reboot. When I reboot and look at it again, the setting for OpenGL has returned back to "Manual." Why wont it stay on Qx?

3. Should I use the "Overclocker" in GTU or regular display properties using cool bits or does it matter?

4. I have the PNY GeForce4 ti4200 64mb card. It came stock set to 250/513. If I overclock it, what would be a good range for both to stay safely in?

What I've noticed with GeForce Tweaker is that when you change a setting in the program, it changes it in Display properties also. But there are some settings in GeForce tweaker that don't have a setting in Display Properties (such as some of the 'expert' AA settings, some of the LOD settings and the Anisotropic filtering settings). It does read the current settings from any changes you make in display properties though.

On your second question: I really don't why it says "manual", but generally I trust the setting that GeForce Tweaker shows.

On your third question: There seem to be the same. I didn't have an overclocking tab in my display properties until I 'enabled' overclocking in GeForce Tweaker. I generally just change the settings for clock speed in Display Properties, but any changes made in GeForce Tweaker shows up in Display Properties.

I can't really help you on number 4, but don't overdo it, since it will actually slow things down if you push it too far.
