Check out all the other cool stuff that happened at IDF 2013.Nevertheless, if you’re interested in pulling maximum frame rates and detail levels from top-tier titles like Metro 2033 or the Crysis series, you’ll want to consider Intel’s new chips.The Extreme Tuning Utility is already out there and the 4.2 version offers the AppTune in beta form if you choose to opt in via the software's settings. So, if someone's got a really impressive graphics overclock you can add that in to an individual game's overclocking profile. The very cool thing though is that you can then download anyone else's overclocking profile and import it. Intel has worked with overclocking maestros, HWBot, to introduce the XTU Zone into its website, and also to link the benchmarking component of XTU directly with that community.įrom the benchmark tab of XTU you can test your system, submit the results of your current profile and see how your system compares with others like yours, or indeed any other setup. Now, you may be looking at the screenshots and thinking, "that all looks rather complicated to me," but AppTune has that covered too. You can also have access to the bells and whistles of whatever RAM you've got installed in it. If you're running Intel graphics you can tweak those too, plugging that overclock into your application profiles. It's not just the processor that Intel's XTU has access to either. "We showed you the tip of the iceberg – this is going to be huge." Icebergs and wildfire It may take a while for this to settle in and people to get this, but you're going to see this take off like wildfire. "I really believe this is a game-changer. "This is absolutely revolutionary," explained Dan Ragland, Senior Systems Engineer at Intel.
