    Finally, a good tool for GPUs called GPU-Z (you should have already guessed it's capabilities) has been released which can be downloaded from here.

    Using this tool, we will be able to collect some information concerning the laptop GPUs such as the bus-width , v-ram memory type , the clocks, etc... which can help discovering the reason for the under-performing of laptops and the impact of these features on the GPU performance. (As we know, these are a lot of diversities when it comes to the GPU setup in laptops)

    Please either post a screenshot (click on the GPU-Z window, press alt+printscreen , paste it in the paint , save it and attach it to your post) or submit the information to the database and drop-in a link to here (don't forget to add [NBR] to username in the form :cool: )

    Thanks for all the help :)

    Awesome! Looks great, and as simple as CPU-Z to use!

    Eh, it seems it still has problems recognizing the info for your GPU, fabarati.
    Well, it's still 0.0.3, hopefully, they will get it to work for all the machines .

    Actually, it is correct. The Go 7200 is quite a neutered discrete gpu.... ;) :)

    Yup. From my posts at the time I bought it, real-world performance was barely above the 128MB dedicated X200M in my Compaq R4000, if it all. However, it is noticeably better than the shared X200M in the Compaq V5201.

    seems like it's more compatible with radeon cards. mine doesn't show the dx version, or the bus width, or the bandwidth. memory type is also said to be sdr...i have a 8600

    I think the consensus is that nVidia cards don't work properly with this version. Which is 0.0.3...

    Nice tool. Here is pic of my overclocked card with DDR2. Well over 420 MHz!

    usapatriot - check this please - I checked your pic - it seems that my bios is a bit newer, but that is all. Do you remember our talk about overclocking x1600? And me having GDDR3 instead of GDDR2? Well it seems that I was right - I have GDDR2.

    I also noticed that my card has BIOS default speeds way lower than Powerplay sets! GPU-z shows that. Now that reminds me that many people cannot overclock too much above the default speeds. Can it be that Powerplay overrides BIOS settings (as all OC tools do), and sometimes it simply cannot be turned off. That is why some people cannot overclock to the max. What do you think?

    Cheers,

    Ivan

    I don't think they should be using the name GPU-Z, I wonder how cpuid feels about that....Anyways, yeah doesn't seem to like nVidia GPUs at all.

    It barely knows what I am, PC Wizard knows more about my GPU than GPU-Z does at the moment :( In my laptop, haven't tried it in my desktop yet.

    Heres my Dell 6400's ATI X1400, according to this the nVidia 7200 on the first page is more powerful! I thought the X1400 was equivalent to the nVidia 7400?

    Because pure specs don't say much. The architectures are completely different. And the go7200 on the first page looks heavily overclocked. Still really bad though.

    The latest version 0.0.6 works fine for my 8600M GT.

    Here's my specs:
    [​IMG]

    Maybe driver is part of the reason why it's not working for some of you guys? I'm still using the default 101.28 drivers since it's OC'able (I haven't OC'd my GPU yet, though).
