Unwinder has now delivered a new version of the popular graphics turning and monitoring utility, RivaTuner. The 2.20 release features:

- Added ForceWare 178.xx and 180.xx drivers families support.
- Updated databases for Detonator and ForceWare drivers. Added databases for ForceWare 178.13, 178.15, 178.24, 180.10, 180.20, 180.42, 180.43, 180.44, 180.47 and 180.48.
- Added Catalyst 8.9, 8.10 and 8.11 driver families detection.
- Added workaround for broken error reporting system of PowerPlay clock control interfaces in Catalyst 8.10 hotfix 2 and Catalyst 8.11 driver families.
- Added driver-level fan control support for ForceWare 180.xx drivers family.
- Updated PCI DeviceID database for both AMD and NVIDIA display adapters.
- Added NVIDIA G98 graphics processors support.
- Added AMD RADEON HD 4830 display adapters family support.
- Added support for direct assess to flashrom chips of AMD RV7xx graphics processors family.
- Updated exceptions list for bundled D3DOverrider utility.
- Seriously redesigned hardware access layer provides drastically improved multi-GPU support. Now RivaTuner no longer uses single device selection ideology and supports simultaneous access to multiple physical display devices or GPUs in the most popular and frequently used modules, such as hardware monitoring module, profile launcher and task scheduler.
- Drastically increased performance of routines applying clock frequencies and fan speed when experimental cloning modes are enabled. Due to new multi-GPU oriented hardware access layer all display devices can be accessed simultaneously, it saves CPU time required on switching current display device and reinitializing hardware access layer in ther previous version.
- Now RivaTuner displays physical GPU index in the main tab on multi-GPU systems to simplify identifying independent physical devices and logical devices of the same physical GPU (e.g. two independent RAMDACs located on the same physical GPU).
- Improved hardware monitoring module.
- Improved launcher module
- Improved scheduler module
- Improved low-level hardware overclocking module for ATI display adapters
- Now undocumented command line based hardware access interfaces also support queued current display device selection via /SD and /SELECTDEVICE command line switches.
- More tweaks improving target value generation accuracy have been done into floating point duty cycle calculation routines for all types of internal and external fan controllers.

Minor bugfixes

- Fixed incorrect 2x effective memory clock multiplier for RADEON HD 4870 / 4870 X2 series equipped with QDR DDR5 memory.
