Asus Software Features
The feature set available with the EN8600GT definitely puts it on a different level than other 8600GTs on the market today. While the stock GPU and memory clocks leave a lot to be desired, ASUS makes up for it with extra software as well as the OC Gear LED Display, which is a one-of-a-kind accessory that users won’t see from any other video card vendor. The main two pieces of exclusive software users will enjoy with the EN8600GT is Smart Doctor and Gamer OSD.ASUS Smart Doctor version 5.031
The ASUS Smart Doctor version 5.031 is a temperature and voltage monitor as well as an overclocking utility for the EN8600GT. The Smart Doctor software displays information on the GPU temperature, RAM temperature, GPU fan speed, GPU core clock, and memory clock. There are also two sliders for overclocking the GPU and memory. This software also works in tandem with the OC Gear LED Display to show GPU information.

GamerOSD version 3.1

The ASUS Gamer OSD software gives gamers several in-game overclocking options as well as other features like recording game movies as well as broadcasting their game movies online. GamerOSD can be used any time during game play to adjust the GPU clock for instant overclocking. Unfortunately, gamers do not have the option to overclock the memory in the game.

The first tab that pops up when users press the hot key is the 3D Display Settings. Users can keep track of benchmarks and GPU overclocking, adjust the gamma, brightness, and contrast values when playing PC games.

The second tab shows the software’s video capture options. Users can capture game play video and at a variety of different capture sizes and rates. They can use the hot key or check the Start Capturing button to start capturing a gameplay movie.

The last tab gives gamers a variety of screenshot options. Users can capture single or multiple images and animated GIFs. They can also select how many seconds they want the program to wait in between screenshots.
