GTX 950M 2GB GDDR5 strange reading. HELP!

[Speed Weed]

Its Acer E5-575G-5341 laptop

GTX 950M 2GB GDDR5 strange reading while running Unigine Valley benchmark. Unigine Valley Benchmark was set to run HIGH PERFORMANCE NVIDIA PROCESSOR through NVIDIA Control Panel. 

I tried DDU to clean install Intel and NVIDIA graphics driver 

But the reading for GTX 950M is strange. Especially MSI Afterburner reported 0 voltage while running benchmark, and CPUID HWMonitor reported 0% GPU usage.

My GTX 950M 2GB GDDR5 can't reach 2500mhz on the memory ( https://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gtx-950m/specifications )

 

LAPTOP WAS PLUGGED IN WHEN RUNNING BENCHMARK.

Weird readings from multiple monitorting apps while running benchmark

 

0 voltage?!

If you are getting the results you expect, then I wouldn't worry about it.

If not, ensure you're running through the nVidia card and not the Intel one

normal. GPU-Z shows half the memory frequency

Afterburner doesnt read my laptop 1060's voltage either

But GPU-Z should show 2500mhz memory frquency for my GTX 950M 2GB GDDR5 model? Why half? This is so misleading.

 

CPUID HWMonitor shows 0% GPU usage. 

 

The fuck with all these weird readings?! 

 

This is my 1st potato gaming laptop.

Because GPU-Z shows the real physical frequency.  2500 is the DDR (Double Data Rate) transmission rate.

oooooooooooooooooo shit, you are right, and can you mind explain why CPUID HWMonitor show 0% GPU usage????? I had all of these running before firing up the benchmark.

Because the API is probably broken on your Windows install or Driver version.  My laptop (GTX 1050 Ti/Intel IGP hybrid setup) has done this randomly after some driver updates.  It may also be reading the Intel GPU usage numbers for whatever reason.

 

Its nothing to worry about, especially seeing that GPU-Z is reporting everything properly.

Is this normal while running benchmark? My IGPU also running as well from GPU-Z.

iGPU needs to run if your laptop has Nvidia Optimus, so that's normal

Oh okay. Thanks a lot for helping me because I thought there is something wrong with my laptop, and I have never used switchable graphics laptop ever in my life, so that is why I am freaked out.
