Using a Gainward Bliss 8800GT Golden Sample together with the ForceWare driver that came with it which is 169.32. Think it's supposed to be a Vista driver but they modded the INF file to support XP-32bit. The GPU-Z version I'm using is 0.1.9.

What I am wondering is that why is the GPU Clock Shader is empty? Anyone has any similar experiences? I tried using another driver version 169.21 WHQL, not the BETA version which my friend is using without problem.

Below are the screenshots.

imbecelle do you have an instant messenger? my contact details are on the left of this post

 

[imbecelle]

Yeap I do, just added you.

The fan speed reading got a bit odd low in this version

 

[Duxx]

Temps between GPU-Z and ATItool are about ~10 degrees off.. Is there one to which is more accurate, are they reading from the same place? Just curious,

GPU-Z temp reading does exactly match the Catalyst CCC reading

For PCI-E 2.0&1.0 detect

I want to know what's the meaning of the picture of the mark and what does the GPU-Z 0.1.9 define for the part of PCI-E.TKS!

 

[W1zzard]

charles it means your card can support pcie 2.0 x16 and its currently running at pcie 1.x x16

 

[charlesyan]

Thank you,W1zzard.
I want to know that GPU-Z detect PCI-E version of the standard.
For example:
Which version GPU-Z detect on the front "@"?
Which version GPU-Z detect behind "@"?

 

[W1zzard]

in front of the @ is what the card says it can support. behind the @ is what it is actually running at. so in your case the card supports pcie 2.0 but only runs at 1.x mode in your current motherboard

 

[lemonadesoda]

Fan speed reported as 0%

BUT fan is actually spinning... and quite fast too.

(HD 3850 AGP powercolor)

***EDIT***
After extensive reseach and BIOS hacking, I conclude that the powercolor AGP is broken by design. The fanspeed is FIXED at 100%. The settings read by GPU-Z are bogus. Although NOT GPU-Zs fault. I think the "registers" for fan control are working, they are just NOT connected to the actual fan. Hence the BIOS has "virtual" fanspeed temp control.

Dear W1zzard,Thank you very munch.

but my card is HD2600 and It's not PCI-E 2.0 Card,my motherboard is intel X48 and it's PCI-E 2.0 board.

interesting .. gpuz just reports what the card/mobo reports. can you check with everest if it shows the same?

Blank tab screens?

Hi!

Have an odd problem with the tabs showing up with nothing on them.... they actually blink quickly with what they are supposed to show, and then the following happens:

When I mouse over the actually viewing area, some of the fields do appear, as seen in the right-most images. What's going on?!?

Can you please go to user CP and fill out your PC specs, or at least post that info?

It will help greatly with helping you!

Found out more; no GPU-Z bug

FYI, it seems that my problem only occurs when I am running CubeDesktop 1.3.1; still don't know -why- that causes the problem, but it's not just CPU-Z; I just found another app that the same thing happens when I've got CubeDesktop running. So I don't think it's a bug on this end; seems more like a bug on CubeDesktop.

I ran the same video card on two OS. The GPU Clock are show the wrong speeds in x64. Therefore showing the wrong specs (Pixel,Shader,Bandwidth) On x64 the speeds it's showing is the 2d clock speeds.

 

[alom]

pci-e bw is wrong

pci-e bandwidth is wrong

sb told me pls, where is the pics i uploaded before?

 

[W1zzard]

"Bandwidth" is memory bandwidth

Usually can start it once for good when I start it immediately upon booting up the PC. On subsequent program starts, the splash will not go away and has even crashed the whole PC a few times...

Sometimes will not even start properly at least once, but will create the splash-not-go-away immediately, sometimes without any error notification, sometimes with saying some "file not found".

Out of interest trying to start it right now, and it works... this time. So very inconsistent results on my system.

But it's a pretty good show for such a small program...

Edit: I also note that GPU temp under "Sensors" is showing 10 degrees cooler than what Nvidia Monitor is telling me. Nvidia Monitor however, is saying the same as the Gigabyte "Gamer HUD" tool that I have running for my Gigabyte NX88T512HP.

Hi Everyone & Wizzard,

I am new to the techPowerUp! world, but not to computers. I have been reviewing with LAN Addict! for 5+ years now. It is good to see you all, and you seem to have a great little community going on here! Hopefully I can put in my 2 cents, and help out a few in any way that I can!

Now to the point, as this *is* the bug forum --> I just found out about GPU-z, and started using it during benchmark testing. I am not having any issues with reporting or anything, but I cannot use any version newer than 0.1.7.

What happens is that my system locks up solid, and I have to cold-boot it (hold the power button or just flip the 'ol switch). This happens with both 0.1.8 and 0.1.9. I have tried several builds that were custom-released for people in the forums but, unfortunately, no change.

This only happens on my desktop system, running WinXP Service Pack 3 with a BFG GeForce 8600GTS OC 256MB Card. I do not have any issues, with any version, on my Vista notebook with an ATI Radeon Mobility X200. I have not tried Vista on my desktop as of yet, but am willing to do so.

I don't mind using an old version, but it looks kind of bad in reviews, and I cannot use the reporting tool as it reports an old version. Any ideas Wizzard?

can you move put the card into another system and see if it works there? then try another card in your system and see if it works? trying to identify the problem here. any way to check if it's related to sp3 ?

Hey Wizzard,

I would love to do that, unfortunately it is difficult ATM. I had another system here, but it was sold recently, and I no longer have a 2nd. My other machine is a notebook .

I can try an old PCI card I have kicking around here to see if it completes the initialization and loads the utility.

That will tell you if it is a card communication problem, or perhaps SP3 itself. No problems on any other benchmarking utilities or reporting utilities (Everest / Sandra / ATITool / NVMonitor / RivaTuner).

I'll report back with my findings as soon as I can.
