Up-to-date DirectX9 (Under Vista, DirectX 10 and 9 are updated separatly) for GPU:3D and Power Supply
Nvidia Drivers 181.22 or later for GPU:MEMTEST (Now based on CUDA 2.1,as several critical bugs have been fixed in this release).
Changelog 2.0.1 to 3.0 :
MAJOR FEATURES
OCCT's main UI has been completly revamped
Graphs now shows a 2nd line showing the CPU usage / FPS during the test.
CPU usage is now instantaneous instead of an average since the start of the test
OCCT now has 5 different tests. The descriptions are at the end of the changelog
USER INTERFACE
Entirely revamped - now based on tabs, and completly modular
Now has a small help module - just move your mouse around OCCT's window, you'll see
MONITORING
The built-in engine has been updated - lots of new hardware are now supported
Alot of bugs are fixed, included the famous "3 cores out of 4 detected"
GRAPHS
Graphs now shows a second line showing the CPU usage/FPS during the test
A legend explains everything
The test configuration is now entirely present in the graph's subtitles
TESTS DESCRIPTION
CPU:OCCT
The original, inherited from previous versions of OCCT
Now Core i7 compatible
Optimized
CPU:LINPACK
The very same as IntelBurnTest, based on a test provided by Intel
It will make your CPU hotter than never !
32 and 64 bits support
GPU:3D
Home-made test written in Direct3d that will make your GPU really hot - this test is similar to ATITool and Furmark (thanks to Furmark and JegX for his support and for the aborted partnership
)
Will make your graphic card real hot - especially the GPU
Has an error detection mode similar to ATITool
SLI and Crossfire support (Just enable Fullscreen mode !)
GPU:Memtest
Again, Home-made test written in CUDA that'll launch a MemTest86 or MemTest86+ like test on your Graphic card memory and report any error found
Requires a Nvidia Graphic Card, and a GeForce 8 or Higher !
Power Supply
Dedicated to power supplies - it'll launch GPU:3D and CPU:LINPACK at the same time to load your power supply. BEWARE, THIS TEST IS REALLY DEMANDING !
WARNING, DO NOT USE THIS TEST WITH NO-NAME POWER SUPPLY, AS A FEW DEATHS HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED !
This tests demands 30 to 40% more power than crysis on a quad-core system with an SLI graphic system installed...
Changelog (Since 3.0.0) :
GPU:MEMTEST
Now compatible with GeForce cards with more than 512MB under Vista (A Cuda bugs was encountered, but i found a workaround)
Now 4 times faster (thanks to a switch to Cuda 2.1 which came with bugfixes in the SDK - new prerequisites though)
The test cannot be run on GeForce 7 or lower anymore
MONITORING
OCCT now saves monitoring sensor based on sensor names when available, not on position in a list. Thus, when a sensor disappear, OCCT configuration is preserved
Engine has been updated - new CPU support,...
the maximpum CPU temp can now be set at a temp higher than 99°C (before, it could be done, but it was reset upon reloading OCCT at 80°C)
TRANSLATION
Arabic and Romanian support have been added
Italian have been updated
