EVGA Makes GPU Voltage Tuner Software Official
EVGA today made its GPU Voltage Tuner (GVT) software utility official. The utility allows end-users to control the voltage of the graphics processor, a significant factor when it comes to overclocking. Within safe limits, increasing the GPU voltage facilitates higher maximum GPU core and shader clock speeds. The utility keeps in mind the majority of users that doesn't understand the specifics of voltage control, and its impact on overclocking.
Using a simple slider, the user can set the vGPU voltage from 0.82V to 1.18V and beyond, depending on the accelerator. The resolution of the scale is in milli-Volts, although the resolution of the slider may differ. Initial tests have shown even simple increases in voltages to send the maximum overclock for the core speed up by as much as 100 MHz. The initial graphics card support-base includes the GeForce GTX 260, GTX 280 and GTX 295 series accelerators by EVGA. Future releases may expand the support base. The application is available exclusively to registered users of EVGA graphics accelerators, and can be downloaded from here.
Extended graphics card support list follows.

:toast:
its a gtx 260
using bios voids warranty also so does frying it lol
:toast:
idk why?
:toast:
Edit will I might be wrong, I just downloaded it, didn't care much for the compatability list 'cause I knew mine would be ok.
Edit Part Deux: I'm sure TPU's servers will be providing link to this soon for those having issues too...I can't imagine it won't be distributed across the web shortly.
EIT: dont think it can void your warranty but just make sure you dont overdo it coz if it gets even slightly messed up its voided
can TPU not host the program or is it against some legal stuff
Maybe Im just splitting hairs here, but for uber benchers another process is not what we/they want when trying to achieve our best results possible!
The voltage tuner simply does what Rivatuner can do. It will address and edit the hex value of your GPUvoltage in the digital VRM itself. That value resets with a system restart.
