Need testing of new GPU-Z feature: Monitor Info

[stickedy]

To give an update: It now works fine!

I've installed a new driver version since last time, so my previous failure seems to be related to a now fixed driver glitch

Edit: Max. resolution should be 1280x1024

Works fine. Display is an EIZO FlexScan S2431W. Would be nice to see the vendor name too.

Hi,

I have a problem with the new GPU-Z 0.2.8

When I start the tool, I don't have the monitor-tab.
Screen 1:


After clicking on any other tab and back to "Graphics Card", I get the monitor datas in this tab, but I couldn't get the data from the graphics card back.
Screen 2:

Works fine for me.

Here's for my dual video card, tri-monitor setup:

It seems to have trouble with crts, both report wrong max resolutions.

That's because you need to get this:

http://www.techpowerup.com/wizzard/GPU-Z_Monitorinfo2.exe

You probably didn't know that since it was in the very first post in this thread. Confusing, I know, since it has the same program name in the title bar as the "regular" GPU-Z, but this one is apparently a test version, v.0.2.7 (and we are the guinea pigs), and has that Displays tab which isn't in the "regular" version.

its got a few things wrong, but the key elements are correct.

I know that the monitor tab is only in the special GPU-Z beta-version, but I have the monitor datas in the normal 0.2.8 version.
I've posted in this forum, because the bug is in the monitor feature, which is normaly not included in 0.2.8.

I don't mean to be contentious but I believe that you're still confusing the two. What bug?

Compare the beta (whose file name is GPU-Z_Monitorinfo2.exe):

and its Displays tab:

with the latest "regular" version (file name: GPU-Z.0.2.8.exe):

Notice the difference? There is no bug and you do not have "monitor datas" in v.0.2.8 because it isn't there and never has been.

It's apparently a moot point now anyway because attempts to run the downloaded beta (GPU-Z_Monitorinfo2.exe) now result in an error message which says "Could not install driver. The specified service has been marked for deletion" and "Could not stop driver. The requested control is not valid for this service". (Who knows, maybe it's my box... )

If that is correct, then I would suspect that we can now await the forthcoming release of GPU-Z.0.2.9 any day which might include the Displays tab.

0 => no serial number

when the serial number is zero then the monitor will probably have reported no serial at all.
you might want to change this.

here is a screenshot showing that everest is providing
a different info on aspect ratio.you are providing screen aspect ratio
whilst everest is telling about some pixel ratio. i am unsure if this second value is making sense.

I know, that there is no monitor tab in 0.2.8, but look at my 2nd screenshot. There are monitor datas where they not have to be!

The 2nd Screenshot again:

That is why I meant there is a bug in 0.2.8 and it has something to do with the monitor feature of this thread.

I beg of you a thousand pardons and apologize for my arrogant self-righteousness. Feel free to me. I can be such an idiot.

Now I see to what you are referring and you're right, there is something screwy with your report. Forgive me for a stupid question or three, then; have you downloaded a fresh copy to see if maybe the one you have is corrupted (or have you already tried that?)? Could we also suppose that there is a compatibility issue with your graphics card that no one else has had with the beta? Third, you do have the latest driver for your graphics card, yes? (Perhaps a good file and registry cleaning, defrag and reboot is in order?) Or, maybe there is a semi-serious problem with your computer that is not directly apparent, yet it affects how the beta is operating, solution, .

(Sidenote: for some goofy reason, my copy of GPU-Z-Monitorinfo2.exe works now. I think my box is haunted. )

all he did was started this beta and hit yes to the auto update. its merged the two somehow.

Well, that would explain a heck of a lot, but how weird is that? Sounds like a genetic experiment gone horribly awry ("The Fly", anyone?).

Looks like he needs a fresh copy, then.

Hi,

No, I've never installed the GPU-Z-Monitor-Beta. I have had the GPU-Z 0.2.5 to 0.2.8, but allways only the exe-file. I've never installed something. The problem occurs only at 0.2.8.

I've a clean installed system with catalyst 8.9 and GPU-Z was downloaded directly from techpowerup.

Now, I've downloaded it again and it works like it should. Maybe there was a faulty version on the server first?

Thanks and greetings

PS: To Reverend Ozone: No Problem.

PPS: If someone is intersted in the faulty version, for debugging or something, I've archived it.

 

[Mussels]

well it IS possible it got on the updater somehow, very briefly.

GPU-Z has an auto updater, and the beta tries to update to 0.2.8. Thats what i meant by updating to the newer version. If you hit yes, maybe it did something weird then.

 

[huelfi]

Hi,

GPU-Z has an auto updater, and the beta tries to update to 0.2.8.

Never tried the beta. Never tried auto updater. Only downloaded the new exe from techpowerup.

I've attached my firstly downloaded faulty GPU-Z_0.2.8.exe file. Try it. I'm curios, if this also happens at your pc.

Just start it, click on any other tab and than back to "graphics card".

[Mussels]

trying it now.

edit: no i do not have that bug. it is working as normal here.

 

[huelfi]

It is working as normal here.

That is strange. I've no explanation.

EDIT: To show, that I'm not crazy, I've made a video for evidence. You can download it here: LINK (right click and "download").

i have the same problem like you

 

[Mussels]

what a strange, strange bug.

Your two and your problem aside, it seems this new feature is working as intended.
