2 – Release Notes

Updated (2019.10.01): version 1.42.6

GPU Caps Viewer 1.42.6 is a maintenance release and fixes a bug in the Vulkan renderer (GeeXLab 0.29.3) that leads to a crash during the resizing of a window. Some SPIR-V shaders have been updated (vk-tessellation demo).

 

Updated (2019.09.25): version 1.42.5

GPU Caps Viewer 1.42.5 is a maintenance release and fixes bugs in the Vulkan renderer (GeeXLab demos, see GeeXLab 0.29.2 release notes).

 

Updated (2019.07.04): version 1.42.4

GPU Caps Viewer 1.42.4 adds the support of GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER and RTX 2070 SUPER. A bug has been fixed in the Seascape demo (Vulkan) and the OpenGL version of Seascape has been added. GPU Shark has been updated to latest version 0.14.0.

 

Version 1.42.0

This new version of GPU Caps Viewer brings the support of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 16 Series (GTX 1660 Ti and GTX 1660) as well as a partial support of AMD Radeon VII (partial support because I added some monitoring code without testing it on a Radeon VII).

 
I updated the Vulkan plugin (used for GeeXLab demos) to fix some warnings and errors detected by the validation layer (Vulkan SDK) for recent graphics drivers.

 
Another bug in the Seascape demo in Vulkan has been fixed for Intel GPUs.

The seascape demo in previous GPU Caps Viewer (with Intel driver v6577) with the bug:

 
And the demo fixed:

4 – What is GPU Caps Viewer?

GPU Caps Viewer is a graphics card information utility focused on the OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL and CUDA API level support of the main (primary) graphics card. For Vulkan, OpenCL and CUDA, GPU Caps Viewer details the API support of each capable device available in the system. GPU Caps Viewer offers also a simple GPU monitoring facility (clock speed, temperature, GPU usage, fan speed) for NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon based graphics cards.
