On top of 3DMark11 Advanced Edition and the StarCraft II trial key, Inno3D have bundled several trial software alongside the drivers.
vReveal
Easily stabilise, brighten, and sharpen your high-definition videos using powerful enhancement technology with vReveal. Harnessing the power of NVIDIA CUDA technology and ZOTAC GeForce series graphics cards, vReveal processes videos up to 5x faster than with a CPU.
Badaboom
Badaboom eliminates the frustration of video conversion by providing users with speed, efficiency, quality, and a sleek new interface. In a practice that used to take several hours, Badaboom converts feature-length movies in a matter of minutes while keeping the videos looking crisp and clear.
By harnessing the power of graphics hardware from NVIDIA and soon Intel, Badaboom maximizes system resources, which makes transcoding high-quality video fast, easy, and painless.
Loiloscope
"Super LoiLoScope" is a software where you can edit and share your videos freely. Being the world’s first video editing software that eliminates waiting time during editing, you can add text, images, music, and add effects while your video is playing. It's soo easy, first time users can edit like a pro!
Power Monitoring
Overclocking is nothing without stability and for most enthusiasts; applications such as Furmark, OCCT or MSI Kombustor have been the stress test of choice to truly load graphics cards. However, both AMD and Nvidia have voiced their concerns against the use of such applications due to the number of cards killed as a result of high temperatures and unforgiving load. They believe that stress tests are not representative of gaming loads and should therefore not be used as an indicator for stability.
Previously we saw AMD implementing PowerTune to keep their cards’ TDP in line. Nvidia have to be given credit for being the first of the two manufacturers to actually deploy these power saving features on their new series of cards. They have taken the hard line approach of making sure that the GTX570 doesn’t draw more than 300W of power by throttling the clock speeds under high load. Typically, such high power consumption can only be expected from stress testing applications such as Furmark, so games will continue to work without any throttling occurring. The main disadvantage compared to AMD’s implementation is that users have no control over the TDP at which the card will throttle and more annoyingly, clock speed changes are not recorded by any monitoring programs, making it harder to visualise any throttling. AMD also fall culprit to the latter issue. With regards to this, overclockers will find it hard to distinguish if their final clock speeds still fall within the limit of the TDP.
In this case, the benefits far outweigh the negatives, the positive being that the GTX570 will have a much longer life expectancy than the power hungry GTX480.
