Thanks to Guru 3D for the heads up! This is the "Promised" hotfix (60KB patch) for RivaTuner v2.0 RC15. The patch addresses two problems detected in RivaTuner v2.0 RC15.
Please note: if don't use ForceWare 53.xx or older drivers and don't need R3x0 timings detection feature, you may safely ignore this hotfix!
What's New?
Fixed bug in driver-level overclocking module, which blocked an ability to enable driver-level overclocking on ForceWare 53.xx and older drivers.
Fixed bug in diagnostic report module, which caused RivaTuner to decode some R3x0 memory timings incorrectly under certain conditions. Take a note, that unlike it is expected by community, this fix will not synchronize RivaTuner's timings readings with RaBiT's ones. The problem that has been fixed mostly affected TR2W, TWR and TW2R timings detection, but the rest timings are different due to problems in RaBiT timing detection scheme. RaBiTs RAS to CAS read delay and Row precharge time are 2 clocks lower than they should be, Row active time is shifted by 1 bit and really affects both TRAS and TRRD. So to synchronize detected timings in both tools wait for fixed version of RaBiT. Detailed timings datasheet has peen passed to RaBiT creators, so new version of this tool will provide correct timing detection and allow you to edit full range of timings detected by RivaTuner.
To install the hotfix simply extract the patch to RivaTuner's folder, close RivaTuner and run RivaTuner20RC15Hotfix.exe
