Use these two easy tools to help improve your graphics, monitor, and video card settings without spending several hours tweaking your settings.
Need an easy way to improve your graphics and video card settings, but don't want to waste a lot of time doing it? Try these tools to fix that problem.
F.lux is a program designed with your eyesight in mind. Your computers internal clock tells F.lux what time of day it is, and depending on when the sun is up, it'll change the bright colors of your monitor. In the course of 24 hours, you'll slowly see your machine go from bright sunny colors during the day, to warm neutrals at night, so you aren't blinded by normal settings at 3 am. You can set the colors to not change, delay them for an hour, or even change your location.
But what if you need to check your actual graphics cards stats? GPU-Z does exactly what it should- it gives you all the stats you could think of for your graphics card. All you do is fire up the executable and it automatically reads off the information for your graphics card. It supports both Nvidia and ATI and it'll even validate the results with other statistics from the website. Cool!
