Trying to skim through this massive thread, but not seeing anything yet.
Typically I use AMD and Windows. And that has extra tools like Afterburner or AMDTweak. Good control over the cards (clock/fan) and gives a little extra boost. Understanding of flashing the bios.
I have another computer using Ubuntu with nVidia. Are there tools similar for nVidia cards? To either give greater control over the card or to give a boost? Not new to lolminer, just new to the nVidia half of it.
