Zotac Working on External OC Control Panel
Reports suggest that Zotac is working on - and seems to have prepared - an external overclock controller for graphics hardware. The device is named Zotac NITRO Hardware OC Controller. It connects externally to a PC and provides the user with a quick display on the card(s)' important measurements such as the various clock speeds and the fan's speed along with temperatures on a LED composite display. The user can control it with three buttons The device sits on a desk stand. It connects to your PC using what looks like a USB connection and installed software manage its controls over the graphics hardware installed in the PC.
It aims to give users control over the graphics hardware even when say playing a game or benchmarking the hardware on the fly. As a standalone device this device could be priced at € 89 in Europe and US $99 in the USA and could be out by end of October.

that means this device only connects to an software driver? running in background and thus it' just an additional display :roll:
that won't work for me if my system is under full load atitool with it's small footprint lags :rolleyes:
if it was cheaper i would think that it's a good idear but during benching/playing i normaly don't change something as instability is always included :laugh:
Maybe it might be worth the price if it could access and control all the system components, like the cpu, ram, gpu, nb, etc. . . and do it well.
