GPU-Z Is it working for your card or not?

8800gt & 4870

Hi there peeps!, first time posting here.. :o

Anywayz, it seems the GPU-Z (tried a few versions till latest) doesnt seems to work on any of my rigs.

From my Gigabyte 8800GT TurboForce to my Gigabyte 4870... weird...

Basically, once i double-click on the gpu-z.exe... a startup pic (splash) shows up... and juz hangs there... nuthin happens not even an error msg displayed :P...
Its there something else i shld do?.. i tried clicking on the startup pic... nuthin happens...

Any ideas peeps?..

Btw, its there any other proggies that i can check my 4870 temps?..

Thanks in advanced for those who replied :)

Cheers :D

Both on WinXP Pro SP3, and normal setup on hdds, meaning no raid, and not using scsi adapter.

And oh yeah, i forgotten the annoying part its that.. when i try to start the GPU-Z proggie, it display the splash pic.. then it literally hang my pc, i can't even do "ctrl-alt-del" to get into my task manager.. lol

So, i had to press reset button my pc case =/

Fyi, i tried different drivers already.. no luck there either..

Cheers :o

Crap!.. don't tell me its my antivirus doing?..

i'm just thinkign about possible causes ... give it a try without the antivirus but i doubt thats the reason ... still worth trying

can you 100% reproduce the behaviour? which version of which antivirus are you using? any settings other than the default?
 
Getting incomplete data:

Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 9600M GT
OS: Vista Ultimate x64

Info I'm not getting is:

Technology
Die Size
BIOS Version
DirectX Support
Texture Fillrate
Bus Width
Memory type
Bandwidth
 
stazi, whats the device id ?

my powercolor x1950GT and HIS 3850 working fine here, though iirc the x1950GT showed up as HIS in the subvendor box.
 
ATi cards dont have separate shader clocks. They are linked with the core.
 
9600m GS

i'm in the same situation od stazi, Wiz if you need a tester let me know!
cheers
 
I wouldn't want to do without it.

9600m gt support will be in next release
 
9800gtx works

not sure if that was posted yet
 
i am sure it has been said many times... It is working with my 8800GT
 
My rig:

X2 5000+ BE 200x16@1.38v
ASUS M3A32MVP wifi-ap
4x1GB D9GMH @ 800CL3
HD 4870 @ 800/1100
