The design of this selected model (Asus RX 560 Strix OC) is very well in line with our goals. We use for this test with intent "only" a graphics card of the lower middle class with a power limit of 100 watts, because we are especially interested in the board and the temperatures of the individual components. With such a slimmed-down selection, it works exactly and true to time even in the 500ms interval.Įspecially in the second part of our review we will see that this program is almost gold value when it comes to reading out various motherboard sensors. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you not only hide unnecessary information (network, system, disk, etc.) for better clarity, but also to exclude it from the loop altogether. Even intervals of one second often lag behind the timestamp.
There is actually nothing that cannot be read out and even written to a file in real time, but the sensor loop is also correspondingly sluggish due to the many values to be read out. The "HWiNFO64" tool is not only suitable for graphics card monitoring (but also) and can be downloaded here for free. The free "MSI Afterburner" can be found here. This is now possible with AMD's Radeon software, but the afterburner is easier to configure (selection of display values, positioning, font size and color, etc.). The "MSI Afterburner" is considerably more comfortable, which is not only suitable as an overclocking tool, but also offers a wide range of monitoring functions and also offers an in-game overlay that additionally displays the measured values of the can display your own selection in real time. In addition to the temperatures, you can also use various loads, limitations, fan speeds and voltage or voltage Current flow values or have you co-write. Here you have to rely on other possibilities and advertisements. Certainly not a bad choice for the beginning, even if, for example, real-time overlays in the game are not possible. The classic for graphics cards is GPU-Z, a free and resource-saving software that can read out the most important parameters of a graphics card and, above all, log it in a real-time file and which also continuously improves and is updated. Those who wish to use suc h programmes on their own responsibility and at their own risk must at the same time ensure that, in the course of the process, they have all the relevant parameters up to the temperatures in question with appropriate and, above all, appropriate Programs continuously and completely monitored, in order to be able to intervene in a secure manner if necessary and to be able to abort the tests immediately! Choosing the right monitoring programs The use of such so-called "power viruses" is therefore not safe and certainly not in continuous use. We have to inform our readers before starting our own tests that the test programs presented here can not only partially take full advantage of the graphics cards, but that in some cases even the power limits set by the manufacturer can still be used.
Why do we need stability and stress tests?
