nHancer is a tool to improve the usage of these features. Both normal and advanced users should find nHancer to be a big step forward.
Additionally, nVidia drivers include a unique feature, that allows them to define profiles for every game, which control various image quality, compatibility and optimization aspects. But in the standard control panel, this feature is even more cryptic to use, so most people never bothered about it.
But it's such a
powerful and handy tool, even for the average guy. So another aspect of nHancer is to improve the handling of those profiles by adding many features that the normal control panel doesn't offer at all and improving the ones that it does offer.
New features in version 2.4.1:
- New graphical design for the logos, the splash window and the about
window, made by Eberhard Klauke.
- Completely redesigned user interface for the profile management:
- Search for profiles by their name (just enter a part of the game's or
the application's name while nHancer's window is active)
- Filter the list of profiles with the new filter menu (the icon on the
top right corner of the profile list) using their type or properties. Most
useful is the filter that shows only the profiles for actually installed
programs
- Support for all GeForce 9x00 cards and all GeForce (formerly Forceware)
drivers up to 175.x
- Even the fixed settings in nVidia's predefined profiles can now be
altered, including the "forbidden" flag used in some profiles to disallow
anti-aliasing. All profiles can also be reverted to their original state
just by clicking on the "delete" button.
- Added additional anti-aliasing modes for GeForce 8x00 and 9x00 cards.
The mode "8xSQ" is especially interesting, it gives 2x2 supersampling and 2x
multisampling
- Added new SLI modes for triple and quad SLI
- Added support for Hybrid-SLI
- Added anti-aliasing compatibility flags for DirectX 10
- Added OpenGL multi monitor and multi GPU options
- If nHancer is started with full administration privileges, it runs fine
even without the nHancer support service. It's possible to deny the
installation of the service altogether during nHancer's installation
procedure.
- A load of minor improvements and corrections. More dertails can be found
in the Readme file
