ATITool is a free overclocking utility for ATI and NVIDIA cards and will only work on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003 with Vista support partially ready. The program runs minimized on the taskbar and displays the temperature of the GPU. It should be noted that in versions earlier than .24, NVIDIA cards are not supported. Current stable version is .26. As of November 28, 2007, Beta4 .27 was the latest version released.

This utility will help a user overclock their video card in a semi-automatic fashion. See external links for a guide to its use.
