| 1405502 | 2015-07-27 20:27:00 | Just downloaded GPU-Z 0.8.4. Want to run ASIC quality but don't know how or what ASIC actually means. Thanks. | BrotherDragon (10117) | ||
| 1405503 | 2015-07-27 21:11:00 | Application-specific integrated circuit The technical explanation: en.wikipedia.org The short explanation: A specific chip like your GPU. |

| 1405504 | 2015-07-27 22:48:00 | But how do I accesses the ASIC quality test that is somewhere I don't know on GPU-Z? | BrotherDragon (10117) | ||
| 1405505 | 2015-07-28 02:27:00 | Do you mean the blue question mark? (right of bus interface) | BBCmicro (15761) | ||
| 1405506 | 2015-07-28 12:02:00 | try a right click on the top left area of the GPU-Z gui - I think the menu has a function "Read ASIC Quality" | bevy121 (117) | ||
| 1405507 | 2015-07-28 22:01:00 | try a right click on the top left area of the GPU-Z gui - I think the menu has a function "Read ASIC Quality" Yes - thanks for that. My GTX 970 is 73.1% However, it seems to me it's only reading the specs of the card and comparing with an average - not doing anything of substance (The bus configuration test claims not to be a stress test but it loads my GPU above 90%.) |

| 1405508 | 2015-07-28 22:21:00 | What functionality is it you are trying to test? There are probably other tools around. I only use CPU-Z & GPU-Z to identify the CPU/GPU and clock speeds. I use other tools to stress test or monitor temperatures. For example I use furmark and speccy to stress test & monitor my graphics card, prime95 for the CPU, and memtest for the RAM. When I build a new PC to really stress it out I run furmark and prime95 and speccy all at the same time, a load I never expect the PC to ever repeat in normal usage. If a hardware manufacturer supplies their own monitoring software I will use that on the theory it's less likely to misread the sensors (some programs give weird impossible numbers with some sensors). |

| 1405509 | 2015-07-29 03:32:00 | Who needs Prime95 when routine software does it for you ;) The screenshot shows 100% CPU activity on all 4 cores. I can't picture how Prime95 could stress the CPU more than that? (The particular application is reSpeedR for straightening videos - reducing camera shake. I have the paid version but the free one is identical except it puts a couple of logos on the screen. Even with the logos on the screen, the result is far better than not straightening. I highly recommend it for cellphone videos and similar. But you need a good CPU.) |
