Do you play the game SNODS on twitter ? If yes then this is for you.

I was feeling bored this hour and passing my time playing SNODS. The game inspired me to write this short plugin which will sound beneficial for all those who play the game SNODS

Quick SNODS is a userscript extension for GreaseMonkey that I made just now. It adds a link to SNODS website on every twitter users homepage. Thus making it easy for you to capture new users. So using this script you can easily catch out some big fishes, sharks and whales to capture in you holding pen.

For those who don’t know SNODS is a game on twitter where you can SLAP, CAPTURE and KIDNAP people on twitter for money. The objective of the game is to capture the famous people on twitter and hold them for money.

Two days ago I wrote a post about the performance of Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA IV) on GeForce 8400 GS

I get an ugly 12 fps and hence I was not able to play the game like all others. The satanic idea of overclocking flicked my mind today so I thought to break the warranty of my 2 month old video card today. To my goodness it worked !! I now get a 22 fps which is enough for me to play the game. Normally a human eye can read up to 16 frames a second so anything more than 16 fps will look normal, so you dont need to wait for 30fps to play the game.

The card is performing almost good with no extra cooling unit required. The temperature of my video card normal ranges between 55-60 °C. Overclocking didn’t affect a lot with current temperature at 64 °C after playing the game for 2 hours. FYI its summer over here and the room temperature is 35 °C.

• Click here to download The latest drivers for Geforce 8400 GS.
• Download the NVIDIA nTune Utility

Okay, install the latest drivers and ntune utility. Now reboot your PC. There’s some overclocking action next.

Go to Start > All Programs > Nvidia Corporation > Nvidia Control Panel > Performance

You get to see something like this hopefully

Click on Adjust GPU Settings on the left panel

Now you get the the over clocking settings on the right. Make the settings like this (thats what I made), don’t make them too high or you might end up burning your video card.

Click on Custom frequencies

Set the Core Bus at 585 Mhz

Set the Memory Bus at 465 Mhz

Click on the test button

Wait for a while till the test is performed. Once the test is successful, click on Apply.

Hold on its not over yet. Now click on Launch Nvidia Monitor Utility.

Frequently keep an eye on your card’s temperature. Launch the game and enjoy.

My PC is capable of running everygame including but not limited to Crysis and Half Life 2. But GTA IV makes me look my PC aged. I upgraded my PC just 2 months ago and it doesnt seems to run GTA 4. How sad is that. Anyways I ahve added the benchmark results here.
