ATI Tray Tools is a freeware that allows you to have instant access to many options, but the biggest of them has to be the ability to overclock your graphics card without having to use the BIOS. Overclocking through Windows instead of through the BIOS has many advantages and a few disadvantages. One of the biggest advantages of overclocking with this freeware is that the changes being made through windows are significantly less than just starting from 0, so you have a much less chance of your computer crashing or auto restarting. And one of the bigger disadvantages of using this program to overclock is that overclocking through the BIOS is usually a lot more stable than overclocking through Windows. A lot of computer companies like Dell and HP lock the BIOS so that you can not overclock your graphics card, this freeware program is a workaround to that, since it does not have to access the BIOS to overclock and can do so directly from the desktop. If you are looking for a very light very strong tool to open your computer options up I would recommend giving ATI Tray Tools a try.
