ASUS SmartDoctor (V9280 Video Suite only) ASUS SmartDoctor is designed to satisfy two major goals. One is to monitor the graphic chip status, alerting users about abnormal events, such as fan malfunction or chip overheat. The other, as the name “SmartDoctor” implies, is to “cool” down the graphic chip smartly when it is not necessary for it to be kept running at full speed.
Settings When you click the Setup button, the Smart Doctor2 Settings dialog box appears. The default setting of SmartDoctor is keep resident which means that SmartDoctor will run every time Windows start and check the graphic card’s status. If your graphics card is working properly, SmartDoctor will terminate within 5 seconds. Dynamic Settings will become available when you uncheck Run once and terminate.
Click the Monitor tab to specify the alarm settings for voltage, temperature, and fan, that fit your system. Click the Overclocking tab to manually set overclocking parameters. To manually adjust the Engine and Memory graphic speeds, uncheck Enable GPU cooling, Enable dynamic graphic cooling and Enable overheat protection found in the Settings tab. Otherwise, you may set the default values by pressing the Default command button. The Set/Test button runs a series of display tests on your graphic card.
ASUS Tweak Utility ASUS Tweak is designed to adjust the working frequency of the graphic engine and video memory. Warning! Use ASUS Tweak Utility with extreme caution and only if you are well acquainted with your display card. Inappropriate use may damage your graphic card, its components and even your system. Functions • Timing adjustment includes engine and memory clock. • 2D Test lets you test your settings.
The default setting of ASUS Tweak is Run and keep resident, which means that Tweak will run every time Windows start and monitor the graphic card’s status or adjust the working frequency. If your graphics card is working properly, Tweak will terminate within 5 seconds. • Monitoring polling time interval lets you specify the time intervals that Tweak • will take to check the graphic chip. The default setting is 5 seconds. You can choose a longer time interval value.
