Software update: PowerStrip 3.50

For years, EnTech Taiwan’s PowerStrip has been the go-to piece of software for those of us who want to make the most of every photon flying out of their monitors. The program is especially popular among owners of systems with multiple monitors, because of the large amount of extra functionality that a Windows environment in this area provides to the software. Also for people with a single screen, PowerStrip can be useful, for example with its built-in presets that activate at the start of a certain program. Gamma levels, clock speeds, color corrections, geometry, if we are to believe EnTech has no secrets for the software:

A simple menu that pops up from the system tray provides access to some 500 controls over your display hardware, including sophisticated color correction tools, period level adjustments over screen geometry, and driver independent clock controls. A powerful application profiler can detect when programs are launched and respond by activating specific display settings, gamma adjustments, performance switches and even clock speeds – returning everything to normal when the program closes. In-game gamma hotkeys let you light up the darkest hallways during game play, and hardware control over refresh rates – with floating point precision – ensure you’re never stuck at just 60Hz no matter what OS you’re using.[break]PowerStrip has now arrived at version 3.50, but unfortunately we are not provided with a changelog. However, we can most likely count on support for today’s newer video cards and chipsets and improved support for 64-bit Windows versions. A Linux version of the program appears to exist, but is not available at the moment.
