GPU-Z bug or GPU Fault ?

[akariz]

Hi all;

Just recently came across GPU-Z after purchasing my 1st MSI 1060 Gaming X 6GB.

After installing I noticed that my default boost clock on GPU-Z is showing as 512MHZ, so wondering since on youtube videos this value is no wr near and also does'nt match GPU specs.

Is this a bug from GPU-Z or GPU ? If it is the card, I will just send it back since its in its warranty still.

Currently using GPU-Z version 2.9.0.0

Thanks in advance

p.s. Apologies in advance if this post should be in the GPU-Z software section of forum.

You should try msi afterburner and monitor your clocks there first...that would help a bit . If its software related then testing with different monitoring s/w while keeping driver ver constant will yeild different results but if its hardware then performance benchmark test results will deviate greatly from those expected from that card

I've tested with Unigine Valley and scores seem to line up with result on web.
Also tried MSI Kombuster and it handled ok and in line with some utube reviews/tutorials.

Then I assume card is fine, but why is GPU-Z then giving different reading from what the card acheive /is set to ?
Should I return card or just leave it?

well if performance is sound then try different versions of gpu z and see what u get at this point i would point the finger at gpu z since if drivers were an issue performance would be poor...also monitoring clocks in real time while testing would be reassuring

I've tried -down version 2.6 and all give me the same reading ... no luck !

Is that a reading from your in-game clocks or just idling on the desktop?

What you need to do is go to the sensor tab and see what it says there. UNDER LOAD. Not idle. Idle clocks mean nothing.

Check your temperature is reset your Nvidia control panel to defaults across support every single page set it to default remove gpu-z completely try a older version

Default clock does'nt seem to move...however graph did.

Already tried that, but did not work.

This looks like a bug with gpuz how it reads the bios. Could you upload it from gpuz and post the link to the bios?
