I think eve online have a free trial going on at the moment. That on max quality would show you how much your card will handle
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Re: How do I test my graphics card?
I have trouble loading graphics programs, Photoshop AND Paint Shop. When I do get them loaded they run out of memory to do things like copying sections of pictures. I can't run a scanner in WIA mode, I have to use TWAIN. My dashboard shows I have ~4 gig of memory left when I get the insufficient memory message. Card is an ATI Radeon HD 5700 series. No conflicts, driver is up to date.Azathoth wrote:I think eve online have a free trial going on at the moment. That on max quality would show you how much your card will handle

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Re: How do I test my graphics card?
Odd. Not a problem I've come across before, and I wouldn't expect it to be a problem with the graphics card, but if it had a fault it could be. My normal suggestion for testing graphics cards is swap it with another one, but you have to have another one spare for that.
[Disclaimer - if this is comes across like I think I know what I'm talking about, I want to make it clear that I don't. I'm just trying to get my thoughts down]

No spare card.
Re: How do I test my graphics card?
I think Passmark has a trial period.. yep

Just run the 2D and 3D tests if you only want to test the performance of your gfx card.

Re: How do I test my graphics card?
It tests the processing power of your CPU, your graphics card in both 2D and 3D applications, your hdd read/write speeds, and your RAM read/write speeds, then you can compare them to the available baselines or go online to compare them to hundreds of thousands of others.
That's not what you wanted to do?
oops.. thought you were asking me. Looks like Aza's link focuses on the gfx card exclusively.. same idea though. Em.. except his uses OpenGL - which is OK, but usually not as fast as DirectX, and it only tests 3D performance.

Re: How do I test my graphics card?
Does it give me numbers somewhere?
Re: How do I test my graphics card?
Yep. They're relative though, so you have to compare them to other results that either ship with the program or are available online. In passmark you can download baselines from their database to compare to - it gives your results in bar chart form with numbers.
