OCCT 4.00

Hi guys.

I've just started to use OCCT to OC my mGPU. It's not a smart thing to do, but I'm bored. Anyways, I noticed that with v4.0, OCCT at the start only stresses my GPU 80%. I know this via MSI Afterburner. Before, it would always be 99%.

In addition, there is this new part called coefs, which sits next to the temps.

I assume that the coefs is the shader complexity, and OCCT 4 by default ramps up slowly, instead of straightaway maxing out?

Also, I'm running a DX10 capable GPU + Windows 7 x64 Home Premium. I have read the updates and in theory OCCT should be using DX10 for its GPU test. However, MSI Afterburner shows DX9. What gives? Scratch that, I'm an idiot. I still wonder about the first part though. Any1?

If you whack the complexity up to 8 and put the res to the highest your monitor can support do you still only get 80% GPU usage?

Also try monitoring usage with GPU-Z just to see if its a problem with MSI Afterburner.

I wouldn't worry to much about it aslong as your GPU reaches 99% usage in games then atleast you know the card is fine, and the you can pretty much conclude that its a bug with OCCT or perhaps like you said maybe its mean't to be like this.
