Are there different versions of GPU Tweak? 1.0.6 seems to have more features than 2.x

Hello all, first post. Just got a G750JZ and I'm happy with the laptop. But I haven't had a gaming unit ever since.. well, I've never had one. So I have no clue about many, many things.

I got an error message about GPU Tweak failing to initialize, so I updated the laptop. No GPU Tweak update was found. Fine.

Then I checked online. My version is 1.0.6 and there was a 2.6.something available. I downloaded it, thinking it was an upgrade. No dice.

The 2.6 and 1.0.6 were installed next to each other. Funny thing is, the 2.6 has a ton of new things BUT I don't see any way to OC the video card. It says something about tuning the video card, when I click it all I get is a message that reads "select an item to tune". I don't see anything I can select. Everything works - the temp indicators, the video card information center - but I can't see a way to tune the card.

The 1.0.6 has a big button that says "Overclock ON / Off". Seems it does what I want to in a much easier way.

So.. I guess my question is... is GPU Tweak 1.0.6 one made for my laptop? Can I delete it and run GPU Tweak 2.6 instead? Why isn't it updating automatically? Can I tune my laptop with 2.6?

Thanks!

might help. You mentioned laptop what are your spec's. also your plugged in when you try to OC as opposed too running on battery. You may not have options available.

Welcone to the ROG btw

With a similar laptop to mine, a 750. It has the 880M card with 4 GB of video memory, 16 GB RAM.

There are two different GPU Tweaks!

This is the one I have.

That's sort of weird. Even for a weird company, like Asus! I haven´t been able to find any info regarding if you can uuse one, the other, both, or...

Thanks for the warm welcome, BTW.
