NVIDIA to Put in Dynamic Overclocking Capability into Core-Logic

In a move to enhance the competitiveness of its latest nForce3 core-logic products, NVIDIA will add a special dynamic overclocking capability into the software suit supplied with its chipsets for AMD’s 64-bit microprocessors. The feature is likely to boost the speed of NVIDIA’s newest chipset offerings in situations when extra speed is demanded by end-users.

While NVIDIA’s nForce3 250-series of chipsets deliver strong performance and feature-set compared to VIA K8T800 and SiS755 core-logic, they are not able to drive NVIDIA on the top in quite a number of cases. Nevertheless, the difference in speed is so negligible that a tiny performance boost will ensure that NVIDIA nForce3-based systems will win in benchmarks against all rivals, becoming a product of choice for performance-hungry computer enthusiasts.

…A report over ComputerBase.de suggests that NVIDIA’s AutoTuning feature will be able to maximize performance of personal computers based on nForce3 MCPs at most critical times when the power of central processing unit is heavily required. The software will overclock AMD64 microprocessors automatically by a margin set from BIOS, but in order not to damage the chip, a special thermal monitoring capability will also present for reliability purposes.
