Graphics Card Utility

Asked by Aikijoe

I have a two EVGA 9800gtx+ graphics cards in SLI. EVGA has a utility called Precision for windows to overclock, adjust fan speeds, and monitoring status's. I was wondering if there is any universal utilities like this ofered for Linux? Don't care to much about the overclocking, mostly just the fan adjustments and onscreen display. Also I have the Nvidia Driver installed but I am not even sure if SLI is enabled.

ok I got it to run but I don't think it is compatible with my card, doesn't recognize video card, I can do some overclocking, but can't change fan speeds and not recognizing second card in sli. any other applications anybody knows of?
