How can I monitor my GPU Throttling?

I installed Aida64 and noticed the CPU Throttling Graph in the System Stability TEst, but I cant find where I can get such a graph for GPU Throttling. How can I monitor if my GPU is throttling?

I have MSI Afterburner installed, my GPU Usage is going up and down really fast, but my temps are 50 C°. So I dont know whats going on.

Just pay attention to the core clock, say you are using Heaven benchmark which makes it work on full load, it should stabilized its core clock on maximum, if for any reason the OC went to far and it throttling happened it should reduce the core clock to a safe level, which you should be able to spot through the MSi Afterburner, stability not always depends on temperatures, the temps might be fine but if the core clock or memory clock are too high it will face stability issues just as much.

I didnt use any overclock on my GPU, but I will try with Heaven, I just stressed it with Aida 64. I will try and watch at my core, thank you!

GPUZ has a sensor tab and it keeps going when other things are running.

Or Msi Afterburners monitoring panel can be detached

But windowed mode in games makes it easy.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

I personally find Unigine Heaven the best tool for stability testing, set it for ultra on your native resolution, it doesn't have to run nice it just needs to have your GPU on full load, keep a good eye on the MSI afterburner numbers, sudden drops in core clocks and they maxing lower than originally did when you launch the application means the frequency is the GPU is too high and you might need to decrease them.

 

Whatever you do, do not use FurMark, it throws unrealistic over loads on the GPU what could even lead to its death.

I use precision x with the overlay. Give you much more info then the program itself. I only use heaven to ensure the system is performing how it should when I encounter problems. But it will also benchmark the gpu.

your gpu isnt throttling.. its only at 50c...
