CPU-Z IS THE DE FACTO standard for checking basic features of your system, such as what kind of stepping your processor uses, what are the real latencies of your system memory, motherboard type and so on.

Now a whizz named W1zzard from TechPowerUp! has adopted the "copying is the sincerest form of flattery" approach and managed to create something similar.

GPU-Z does not hide its similarity to CPU-Z when it comes to the user interface, but the job at hand is absolutely massive. There are numerous graphics chips on the market in most insane combinations, discrete or integrated, and so on.

Currently, the beta supports ATI and Nvidia chips only and has porblems with some hardware like integrated chips with odd numbers - we used HP's tx1000 Tablet-PC, and its integrated GeForce 6150 was not exactly detected as it was supposed to be.

But, this a nifty routine to detect the real number of pixel and vertex units, ROP (Raster Operation) and very important one - real memory controller (nicely detecting all those 6800 128-bit boards and so on).

The application is currently in early beta stage, but we're keeping our fingers crossed that W1zzard pulls this one off.

Hey when I want to buy a VGA card such as 6600 GT or 8400 geforce card or any ATi card how do I conform that the VGA I buy from local store have same profromance that shown on nvida or Ati site do it have any software for that? I mean such things like memory brandwidth, processor speed, wheather it's DDR2 or DDR3...

Can u help me?

To be 100% sure, you have to check a model up on the internet and buy the exact model. Sometimes, many manufacturers sell cards with the same GPU, but with different clock speeds and different memory types than the reference model from nVidia or ATI. Just looking at the "Geforce 8400" part is not enough. But most of the times, the specs (except the clock speeds) are listed on the box.

Thanks. But still not a solution because i dont trust local sellers in SL Hihi..
If you find any software to verify those things.. Tell me ok!

But to verify the card (using software), you first need to purchase the card, at which point even if you find out that it is not the one you really wanted, you are out of luck.

If GPU-Z works with the card, it will show you the important specs of the card. Other than that, probably tools like ATITool (for ATI) and RivaTuner (nVidia) should give you insight. Also the utilities which are installed together with the drivers should too.

The only place you can buy a VGA (or anything for that matter) with a piece of mind is EPSI.
