EVGA OC Scanner 1.7.0 Released with NV-Z 0.1.0

EVGA OC Scanner 1.7.0

A new version of OC Scanner, EVGA’s GPU stress test utility and artifact scanner is available. Like EVGA Precision, OC Scanner is now available for all GeForce cards, no matter the vendor. Other new stuff, the skin. I did my first skinning tests with the version 1.7.0. The skinning system is not perfect but it works and is quite fast.

OC Scanner brings new auxiliary modules (AUX-Mod) to make your life a bit easier:

  • NV-Z 0.1.0: like GPU-Z, NV-Z is GPU information utility. NV-Z works with NVIDIA cards only.
  • CPU burner: CPU burner is a multithreaded CPU burner. You can select the number of threads you want and you’re ready to burn the CPU. In short CPU burner is used to add a constant load on the CPU.

    How does your CPU burner stack up against some of the others that are available?

    Actually it’s more a handy auxiliary tool than a pure CPU stress test like IntelBurnTest. Its main goal is to add a constant CPU load that does not disturb OC Scanner main rendering thread…

    When the first version came out I made a patch to make it work on everyone’s card.
    It seems to me that EVGA finally gave a tought to that mistake 🙂
