nvoclock

nvoclock is a command-line interface to NVAPI that supports full monitoring and overclocking of NVIDIA GPUs on Windows platforms.

Usage

• nvoclock info displays information about the capabilities of detected GPUs
• nvoclock status displays monitoring information about the GPU
  • Use in combination with watch(1) for best results.
• nvoclock status -a shows fancy charts!
• nvoclock set encompasses the usual options to overclock and tweak a GPU. Check -h for all the details.

Global Options

• -g 0 can be used to filter results and operations to a specific GPU
• -O json prints out information in JSON format to be parsed or handled by automated scripts.

Future Items

Some things can be improved, and since most tested was done with a single Pascal GPU there are some missing features for older hardware.

• Maxwell power/voltage control
• Previous generation GPUs need testing/support
• RPC API + Daemon
  • Controls from another computer so autodetect can detect and survive crashes and full lock-ups.
  • Running on a VFIO host to control a guest GPU would be neat. SSH mostly does this already though.

Out of Scope

nvoclock isn't meant to be an all-encompassing overclocking and monitoring tool. The following features would better belong in a separate project:

• GUI (nvapi-rs does all the real work and makes it easy to create one though!)
• AMD GPU support
• CPU monitoring and/or overclocking
• Status overlays and game hooks
• Linux support (nvapi is not available)
