Why is GPU-Z power consumption absent?

Shohidul · Feb 6, 2013

Hi

Could anyone please help me, why TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.6.7 cannot show power consumption option under Sensors tab?

My GPU is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560.

It is very necessary for my research.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Shohidul.

Was it showing in previous versions?

It might be that it doesn't work with that card. Doesn't show with my GTX 550 Ti either.

Shohidul · Feb 6, 2013

@ Maban: Prior version TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.6.6 does not show either.
@ Frick: Thanks much. Could you give any alternative idea?

How can I measure GPU power consumption?

Somebody use NVIDIA inspector tool for it. But I cannot find the power option there as well.

Any method is okay for me.

What Windows OS are you on? What version of the Nvidia GeForce drivers?
Please try the latest MSI Afterburner:
http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/download.htm

Please tell us if that shows the power level, or not.

Your card likely doesn't have the necessary components to monitor power consumption. Apart from buying one of them Kill A Watt or similar device, there's nothing cheap(ish) you can do about it.

@ Naki: Thank you for your reply. I installed the software but it does not show power level, even if there is a field to show power. I attached the image that contains details info.

I still have no solution for it. But badly looking for an way to measure GPU power consumption!

IIRC, HWMonitor could show my GPU power readings while other programs could not. Give it a shot - might work for You.

You are trying to run MSI Kombustor!
I suggested MSI AfterBurner - these are two DIFFERENT apps, so please try that instead.

Another app you can try is EVGA Precision.

@ Vinska and Naki: Thanks for your kind reply. I tried your suggestions... but still cannot find it. HWMonitor shows power for CPU but not for GPU. Attached images show details...
