RivaTuner is a freeware overclocking and hardware monitoring program that was first developed by Alexey Nicolaychuk in 1997 [1] for the Nvidia video cards.It was a pioneering application that influenced (and in some cases was integrated into) the design of subsequent freeware graphics card overclocking and monitoring utilities.
MSI Afterburner is a graphics card overclocking (OC) and monitoring utility that allows users to monitor and adjust various settings of their graphics card. [2] Developed by MSI (Micro-Star International) and previously Alexey Nicolaychuk, developer of RivaTuner, it is widely used for enhancing the performance of graphics cards, especially in gaming and high-performance tasks.
The purpose of overclocking is to increase the operating speed of a given component. [3] Normally, on modern systems, the target of overclocking is increasing the performance of a major chip or subsystem, such as the main processor or graphics controller, but other components, such as system memory or system buses (generally on the motherboard), are commonly involved.
Heaven and other benchmarks by UNIGINE Company are often used by hardware reviewers to compare performance of GPUs [1] [2] [3] and by overclockers for online and offline competitions in GPU overclocking [4] [5]. Running Heaven (or another benchmark by UNIGINE Company) produces a performance score: the higher the numbers, the better the ...
Superposition and other benchmarks by Unigine are often used by hardware reviewers to measure graphics performance (PCMag, [1] [2] [3] Digital Trends, [4] [5] [6] Lifewire [7] [8] [9] and others) and by overclockers for online and offline competitions in GPU overclocking. [10] [11] [12] Running Superposition (or another) benchmark by Unigine ...
The main AMD GPU software stacks are fully supported on Linux: GPUOpen for graphics, and ROCm for compute. GPUOpen is most often merely a supplement, for software utilities, to the free Mesa software stack that is widely distributed and available by default on most Linux distributions .
A cryptomining app can significantly impact your PC’s performance. Once installed, it hijacks your computer's resources, including the CPU and GPU, to secretly mine cryptocurrency.
CPU-Z is more comprehensive in virtually all areas compared to the tools provided in the Windows to identify various hardware components, and thus assists in identifying certain components without the need of opening the case; particularly the core revision and RAM clock rate. It also provides information on the system's GPU.
