Not all cards were supported by Aida so i sended one report to Aida developers to see their reaction. So i also saved and updated reports from these cards on site. I was doing recently small tests of 1st generation 3D cards (43 of them) in mine collection compared with some other mostly OEM chips. And thats why i writed this short article. Sadly also this sofware isn't perfect, because it still have sometimes blank info pages at some old cards. Another great thing is that its still working in Windows 98.

Today its best available software showing not only info about your cards, but also DirectX functions and OpenGL extensions. But many cards missing info and clocks are not always right.Īida64 - - being still developed shareware info tool. It was most common software used for overclocking less known cards. PowerStrip 2.78 - - very old shareware, that is supported only in Win9x/2000. It will be pointless anyway, because most of these cards won't have drivers for these modern OS. Author won't support older cards in future. Sadly it works only on Win XP SP3 and never OS, requires installed card drivers to show all info and its useless for anything older than year 2000. GPU-Z - - well known free software used everywhere. HWinfo - - its free, but shows only basic info and usefull only for modern cards. There are only few ones and almost all of them are not usefull for people with retro cards. Many of you maybe already noticed, that we missing good graphics card info software.
