Kepler BIOS Tweaker is a specialized software utility designed for modifying and customizing NVIDIA graphics card BIOS files, specifically for Kepler-based GPUs (600 and 700 series). This tool allows users to adjust various parameters of their graphics cards, including:
The program features a user-friendly interface that makes BIOS modification more accessible compared to hex editing. However, it should be noted that using Kepler BIOS Tweaker carries certain risks, as incorrect modifications can potentially damage the graphics card. Therefore, it's primarily used by experienced users and overclockers who understand the implications of BIOS modifications.
Before making any changes, it's recommended to backup the original BIOS file. The tool is free to use but requires careful handling and basic knowledge of GPU parameters to avoid potential hardware issues.
Important: Using this tool may void your graphics card warranty, and improper modifications can lead to permanent hardware damage.
