P.J Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 When I choose it lonely in System Stability Test and press Start, it doesn't use the GPU and just reports GPU2: Started while I have only one onboard GPU So I have to use FurMark everytime GPU: Intel G2020 + Intel HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 How many OpenCL devices are reported on the Display / GPGPU page of AIDA64? And which ones are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.J Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Two OpenCL: OpenCL: Intel® Pentium® CPU G2020 @ 2.90GHz OpenCL: Intel® HD Graphics Ok, so the GPU2 is correct but it doesn't use it at all Why doesn't AIDA64 use OpenGL like FurMark? Many old GPUs don't support it too =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 How can you tell it's not using the GPU? Have you checked the CPU GT Cores power draw on the Sensor page? OpenGL is not an option for us, simply because via OpenGL it's not possible to stress all GPUs simulatenously. E.g. with an iGPU + discrete GPU (video card) configration, you can only use OpenGL with one of the GPUs, but not with both. Via OpenCL you can stress every GPUs in the system.

P.J Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Oh right, CPU GT Cores changes to 6-7W but with FurMark, it goes to 8-9W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 FurMark is quite heavy on GPU stressing -- some say its test is overkill, and allegedly bricked some video cards already. Modern video cards and video drivers have built-in protection against Furmark: http://www.geeks3d.com/20101109/nvidia-geforce-gtx-580-the-anti-furmark-dx11-card/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.J Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Nice link But I can't use OpenCL on older graphic cards like Mobility X300 or else while they all support OpenGL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.J Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 That's why I want to see AIDA64 perfect Maybe we'll see OpenGL stress test later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
