What do you think guys stick with GPU-Z or GPU Caps Viewer? I rather have both GPU-Z for information and their sensors, GPU Caps Viewer (GCV) for more constructive information, simple benchmarks, and test results.GPU Caps Viewer is an OpenGL and OpenCL graphics card utility for Windows (32/64-bit). Sorry for false information, it's just an input number of the GPU power of amps.

Just read about TDP, it's actually just the maximum power on the +12 rail PSU which only uses ~6.5 Amps (GTX 560 ti). I'm gonna fiddle with the NVIDIA dsettings to play at maximum load.Įdit: Yes, the 170 Watts should be the maximum power of the GPU on +12V rail, I think it's just an input number instead of an actual sensor. I'm playing with this application still, so don't ask me anything yet until I know more about this application.Įdit: The 170 Watts (GTX 560ti) is exactly the full-load of the GPU. They also can test the simple benchmarks if they are having heat problem or so on.īasically, I thought there is no application that can tell the exact Watts of the GPU only by using an equipment (forget what's it called). The other great thing is fiddling with certain things such as, what 3d applications are running and so on, which we might use this application for the people who are having problems with their GPU such as if GPU is using full-load (never seen a problem like that yet) on start up, they can use this software and see what application is running or see if the GPU is actually using the required Watts!. At Idle it's using 170 Watts, I haven't or fiddled with anything or I can't justify anything if this is actually reading the Watts of the GPU. But the interesting thing about this application is they can identify the TDP of your GPU which is great!. I just fiddled with the application last night, it doesn't have some information from the GPU-Z such as the pixel, texture fillrate, Bandwith and so on. So I recommend to just go the official website to get the latest drivers.

No problem, just watch out for getting the latest NVIDIA or ATI drivers because it seem's that they don't update it on their website (old drivers).
