nVidia's own control panel is not always very intuitive to use. Especially the 3D rendering settings are very cryptic and difficult to navigate. Even the new control panel introduced with the 9x.xx line of Forceware drivers isn't a real improvements for these problems. nHancer is a tool to improve the usage of these features.

nHancer is a tool to improve the usage of these features. Both normal and advanced users should find nHancer to be a big step forward.

Additionally, nVidia drivers include a unique feature, that allows them to define profiles for every game, which control various image quality, compatibility and optimization aspects. But in the standard control panel, this feature is even more cryptic to use, so most people never bothered about it.

But it's such a powerful and handy tool, even for the average guy. So another aspect of nHancer is to improve the handling of those profiles by adding many features that the normal control panel doesn't offer at all and improving the ones that it does offer.

Required before installation: .NET Framework 2.0

New features in version 2.4.5

Added the French translation made by QuarkZ. Thanks a lot QuarkZ!
Added detection for new chips.
Improved the application scanner, some applications not found previously are now detected correctly.
nHancer can be used while its scanning for applications. The result of the last scan is also saved.
When resizing nHancers window, the profile list will now automatically scale with the window while the description pane keeps its vertical size. Note than you can still resize the description pane freely by grapping the pane divider just above the description pane.
Bugfix: Closing nHancer right after it had been started could result in a 30 second delay until the process actually died.
Small bugfixes.
