GPU-Z v0.2.9 Released
The latest update to our VGA information tool GPU-Z has just been released. Here is the list of changes:
- Added support for NVIDIA 9800 GT, 9600 GS/GSO, 9300 GS, Quadro FX Go1400, 9800M GTX, 9600M GT, 9650M GT, Quadro FX 770M, 9200M GS, 9300M GS, Quadro NVS 160M, G71 0x2e5
- Added support for ATI HD 4350, HD 4550, HD 4650, HD 4830, HD 4850 X2, RV670 0x9504
- Added support for Intel GM45 variant 0x2a43
- Added support for shader count reading on HD 48xx
- Changed ATI driver function call method. This should result in more accurate readings on X2 cards and non-desktop ATI devices
- Improved VGA BIOS Upload dialog. Drop down lists appropriate for your card will now be fetched from our servers to facilitate the upload process
- Corrected RV610 transistor count

:roll:
I will try overclocking once I have some spare time (I usually do that with the old amdgpuclock 0.7 which is quite unstable, but for some odd reason gives me better temps and higher clocks on memory than 0.9.8 or ATITool)... In fact latter both give me crazy high temps even when reverting to standard clocks; seems like they change something on the voltage side, also I only reach 540mhz on the ram before artifacting, while I reach 570mhz on AMDGPUClock 0.7...
System is under avatar, but for quicker reference; it's a HD2600 Mobility (500mhz) DDR2-Model (400mhz) card from toshiba. Driver is modded Desktop 8.10
Any reason it still dont reconize my GDDR3?
Mabey because of the PCI-e card on the AGP bridge perhaps?
Also the pixel fillrate is off, as are the Rops
Awesome work:rockout:

Possibly driver related though? I remember before, I used an 8x.xx forceware, and it reported the memory clock and bandwidth correctly.
The memory is Qimonda, but that's not an option in the drop-down.
EDIT: err, I can see some cards with Qimonda ram on the database, am I blind?
Hey Wizz, have you ever considered some type of benchmark built into GPU-Z, that would run a small test and that could be submitted online, and compiled into a giant chart, so that we could compare how different cards at different clocks perform (speed, temps) with different drivers, etc.
"Hmm, looks like the ASUS edition of the 4850 actually does have a better cooler than reference"
That'd be awesome
On a related note, any ideas on what's gonna be on .3.0? Is it gonna be big?
considered yes, but decided against it. benchmark just bloats the download, use existing benchmark packages
dont expect anything major in 0.3.0 its really just +1 ... thinking about making it 1.0.0 though - if the cf misdetection issues are finally a thing of the past

Something about a stack file , end of error
I wouldn't worry too much about it, i will just use 2.8.
Hello,
I just downloaded the 0.2.9 version and when i opened the program
the program saw me in an input window an error message and told me to
report the problem in the developers when i push "YES" button the windows
stucks and i restart the windows from the restart button.
see the error files and i took an error screen: CHECK HERE
NOTE: i used the 0.2.8 and i did not had any problems when i tryied this version i got this
