I'm writing this update to keep you informed on OCCT's future.

Thanks to donations and the generosity of Nvidia , which sent me a 9800GTX graphic card, v3.0 is almost there.

Thanks to this new hardware, i could program a new test using Cuda, and even found a bug in cuda during the process. It was fixed by Nvidia, thanks to them ! I also worked alot on Direct3d, to provide you with new tests.

In short, OCCT v3.0 will be a huge revamp of OCCT. it will include 5 tests :

• The classical OCCT CPU Test
• A CPU test based on Linpack, a library made by Intel
• A 3D test written in Direct3d with an error detection mode. First tests shows higher temperatures on the GPU than anything else ;)
• A test based on Cuda, similar to MemTest86, but for the Graphic Card memory (It will be, at first, only compatible with Nvidia cards. An ATI version, made in their own language, will be released later on).
• A Power supply test, made of a 3d test and a CPU Test. The power consumption of your computer will reach new highs. Measures shows a power consumption that is 40% higher than Crysis or 3DMark.

The design and interface of OCCT has been completly revamped, as well as the way OCCT handles tests.

OCCT v3.0 should be out soon in beta, and i'd say the stable version should be there in a month or two :)

See you soon for OCCT 3.0, a version that'll be as significant as the step between OCCT v0 and OCCT Perestroïka !
