New SLI Utility - nHancer (NVIDIA Replacement Profile Editor)

The programmer of this handly little tool was very unhappy with nVidia’s own control panel, especially with its game profile editing module:
nVidia concept to make the driver itself aware of different game executables and automatically activate the profile settings as soon as the respective game requests a 3D screen is really excellent, but the control panel is frustrating, because it keeps forgetting to write the new settings into the registry (if you don’t use “Apply” and just press “Ok” for example) and is filled with bugs. In addition, it doesn’t really allow you to define all the possible options, even with Coolbits set. Therefore I started to write my own profile editor, which uses the same mechanism as nvidia’s own control panel (driver registry and nvapps.xml), but is much more userfriendly and offers a lot more options.

Here some highlights of [ nHancer ]:

• Uses the nVidia internal profile system, i.e. as soon as a profile has been defined, it will automatically be activated by the driver as soon as the respective game has been started. There is no need for manual profile activation or creation of special shortcuts etc.
• Adds several options that are not available through the standard nVidia control panel, like “inofficial” AA modes and detailed SLI compatibility flags. Even more options might be included in future versions.
• Uses and updates the nvapps.xml file that’s also used by nVidia’s control panel.
• No need to click “Ok” or “Apply”, every click on an option is immediately written to the registry and the nvapps.xml file.
• Automatically detects if another application (like the nVidia cp, aTuner or RivaTuner) changes the registry and/or the file nvapps.xml and will immediately update its own user interface to reflect the changes. Because of that, YAPE can remain active all the time, even when using other tools and running a game (doesn’t eat any CPU-cycles whatsoever).
• Allows to export and import all or single game profiles into a separate file. So you can create your own database of game profiles which you can also share on the internet. Especially usefull to share SLI profiles for games which are not directly SLI-supported by nVidia themselves.
