[fixed: GPU dynamic memory measurement issue (Windows 8.1)]

We've just rolled out AIDA64 v5.00 stable release, that -- among many other improvements -- implements a fix for video memory measurement issues under Windows 8.1 and Windows 10:

Please let us know how it works on your system.

Thanks, im using win 8.1 like you point, now with 5.0 it's reading same numbers like other software.

[fixed: GPU dynamic memory measurement issue (Windows 8.1)]

Hello, i was monitoring gpu dynamic memory in AIDA64 and with hwinfo64, this gpu dynamic memory is supposed to be the system shared memory to GPU right?

 

I'm just curious with new games which use lot of Vram and my card got only 2gb, and the results using same game Assassins Creed Unity AIDA64 reports shared memory of 2400-2900mb oscilation during playing while hwinfo64 reports 800-1100mb reading at same time.

 

What can be the differences in monitoring method of AIDA64 to the other to get different results for the same reading.

Starting, i wasted your time, sorry for that. While i make a lot of bench in differents ways like memory clocks, timmings, nb clock, cpu clock to benchmark winrar and aida64 memory somedays ago in windows 7, i tested too in dual channel 2 sticks i have 2gb same models, and i see the memory bench of aida64 got more stable values without vary so much like 3 sticks.

 

So testing in windows 8 with only 2 sticks of 2gb that make same stable values like windows 7 make with 2x2gb. Thats a solved problem, but strange win7 can make best values with 3 sticks and windows 8 cannot.

Thanks for help.

Let me say something, im not expertise but i understand about overclocking and hardware setup like cpu frequency, Northbridge frequency, memory frequency/latency make difference in this benchmark of aida64 memory and winrar bench.I say that because i was addicted to overclock my hardware these last days benchmarking in winrar and aida64 memory in windows 7.

 

So i know that, i make a fair comparison, and checked the hardware configuration, and make both benchs over same config specs: Cpu: 3.4ghz, nb: 2000mhz, memoryy: 8gb 3 sticks 1333mhz 9-9-924-33 1t. I gonna show you both win7 and win8 aida64 memory bench first. I used hdd's in AHCi mode in both hdd OS systems with AMD ahci chipset installed.

Hello, yes i used same version, aida64 3.20.2600. I just installed windows 8 x64 to test battlefield 4 beta, because dont run well in windows 7. Beyond aida64 i tested winrar performance, and there too i got worse performance compared to windows 7.

 

Winrar performance decrease from 4000-4100 kb/s in windows 7 x64 to 3600-3700 kb/s in windows 8 x64. Using same version 4.20 x64 winrar.

 

I dont know if matters, but i installed each OS in differente HDD, but them have same 7200rpm, windows 7 in 500gb segate and 100gb for OS partition, and windows 8 2tb seagate 200gb for OS partition

 

So im confused, maybe windows 8 is a heavy OS?

Hi there, so im have a little doubt about the true value of memory benchmark, i have a phenom x4 965 and in windows 7 x64 it got some faster results in memory read and copy over windows 8 pro x64.

 

The results is this:

 

Windows 7 result

Memory Read: 14500 mb/s

memory write: 8000 mb/s

Memory Copy: 12540 mb/s

latency:67.9

 

Windows 8 results

Memory Read: 10095 mb/s

Memory Write: 7566 mb/s

Memory Copy: 7963 mb/s

latency: 69.6

 

 

So im in doubt what making this different results, maybe windows 7 showing it wrong, or windows 8 is the problem, or because my cpu is too old for the new benchmark. The L1,L2,L3 cache got some few variation only in some points. I make the test many times and the average is what show up.

 

Thanks
