For others, the slightest gamma drift can result in hours of fiddling with drivers and settings. To make the lives of people in the second category a little easier, software developer EnTech invented PowerStrip. The program gives you the opportunity to tweak anything and everything about your video card, without much hassle, even as the lucky owner of a multihead system.

Those who find even that too much hassle can have the software detect when a certain program is started and optimize the settings for it.
