MartinReally nice software! One issue I am having is when I put it to test in 640 mode the test is incredibly slow, the full test will take 26 hours it says. I ran it for 4 hours and it was just under 10% complete on my Nvidia GTS 250 card. Would this point to an error with the software or a definate problem with my graphics card? Thanks alot chaps!
JATTBRAVO GUYS - GOOD JOB - KEEP UP THE GR8 WORK .. DOWNUNDER AUSTRALIA. .. CHEERS M8
DannyAlso having the same question as Sunny :P coudnt do/complete directX tests on my 280GTX.
DannyThnx for releasing this great program :) keep up the good work a fan from the netherlands ^^
LaserousWell.. I'm glad that its a NVidia driver bug and not my video card being completely fail.. lol
HeliceHi. Thanks a lot to share this tools with the community. Is a good tester and works for me to detect issues in my GTX260 and demostrate it to the seller and fight with him to change the video card in guarantee. Bests from Spain.
NickBHi, thank you for the opportunity to run the test. Results for Amaze Radeon 1GB HD5570 no errors. Tested because blue artifacts(?) spread across webpages and in red on the black opening Microsoft Movie Player in Windows XP and XP 64 Bit Pro. Flash player not respnsible, installed and uninstalled FPlayer and same artifacts.
mikelabSunny, I do not know :(
Sunnymikelab, thank you for the answer, but how I can test the remaining memory? If I test with DirectX test, I see only the error messages (maybe due to nvidia driver bug).
mikelabSunny, yes, CUDA reseres some memory to internal usage and it cannot be tested via this interface.
SunnyHi, I tested a GeForce 9600 GT Card with test type CUDA (frozen beta). Why the VMST v1.7.116 program show me the total memory of 536.543.232 and used memory 500.146.176 ? Does it mean, that the remaining 6 megabyte cannot be tested and could be damaged?
mikelabCobra, this is nvidia driver bug, try CUDA.
Cobrahi, wy this doesnt even work with gtx 470?? its too new for this version maybe? i see the last ver. is 2008? or its bcz of w7? [09/06/2010 3.50.52] Test started for "Driver video primario (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470)"...

LebedevHey Misha, thanks for this awesome Tool!
ChanceHi, does anyone know how to get the total video memory?
keeroyAwesome tool, thank you. :)
mikelabAndrea, yes.
AndreaDoes anybody know if VMTCE runs on windows 7 platforms?
mikelabMuH4hA, your arror has different nature. This is nVidia driver bug. Try to use CUDA.
mikelabEkli, no. This is information about card capabilities.
EkliHi, I have NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT I founf Test 16bpp BGR565 and 888 NOT SUPPORTED Code: 80004001. It's error?
MuH4hAHey! I get "Error at [379F0D00]: must be 00FF, but found 0000 (bits: 0000000011111111)" and so on on my GTX 275 - just like Luke. What do you mean by "service center"? The card is broken?
mikelabLuke, service center.
Lukerunning the test and getting lots of errors similiar to this one "Error at [0BF34114]: must be FFFF, but found FEFF (bits: 0000000100000000)" - what does it mean?
mikelabBullz, nVidia driver bug
Bullzwhat's the meaning off this : "Changing video mode to 640x480x16...OK [5/8/2010 10:10:05 AM] Test started for "Primary Display Driver (NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO 512)"...

HJXThanks. This soft is very helpful to me.
mikelabVadman, just read pop-up hint during testing (at bottom of log) and perform recomendation.
mikelabMauricio, nVidia driver bug, no solution still found :(
TBYThank you!! Tby Family is a registered mark of Zcrsoft Electronics
VadmanI have a problem with my videocard (I think). I have the Nvidia GTX 260. Whenever, I play a game I have, after some time, my computer completely crashes. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it does not happen at all. I have no idea what is going on. My game used to work a couple months ago but now it crashes almost every time I play (not every single time). This never happened before. When I ran the video card test, it keeps popping up : Error at [356AFA52]: must be FFFF, but found 7FFF (bits: 1000000000000000) with many different things for [356AFA52]. Please help me and explain what is going on and how to fix it. Thank you.
Mauriciowell, gpu changed to nvidia 8800gts 320mb, same results. OpenGl and Cuda ran fine.
MauricioHi mike! First, thanks for your great software. I've trying figure out what is BSODing my computer. I work with Maya, a 3d software and last week it, my computer, started crashing. The only clue is the nvidia.dll showed on BSOD. Well, I tried your software and it got errors immediately. I don't know if it is a real error or some weird behavior caused by my computer configuration. It is a mix of old hardware (nvidia quadro 550, 128 ram) and new parts (octocore xeon E5410 + 8gb ram ecc), running Windows XP 64 sp2. VMST got this error : "Error at [06386ED4]: must be 00FF, but found 0000 (bits: 0000000011111111)" and sticks on it. Near 1200 errors, the message "Too many errors, you can improve test speed by disabling error logging" is shown. Any Idea? Is this videocard trashed? Best Regards from Brazil.
mikelab6, for test all your cards separatly, you must to temporary disable SLI mode. in this case all your cards will be accessed as different devices in the "Device" dropdown list.
6Hmm damn, your program looks very nice and it seems like a great idea but it doesnt detect anything on my setup, but as you say it isnt testing the other 3 cards... I think theres something wrong on one of the other 3 any ideas?
mikelab6, no, because all SLI-cards represented in the DirectX interface as one single device.
6Will this work to test all 4 cards in a dual 295 SLI setup?
mikelabPano, :)
PanoOnly to say Thanks for this very impressive prog. Hope You will go for more development on it. Spasibo. Dosvidanya...!!!

mikelabTod, please read hint during testing and follow it. You simply must disable ignoring of the color bit mask.
mikelabMe, this is size of allocated video memory blocks.

Doug DJust downloaded the test to check my card and whoa, im at 250 million errors and counting. This is not good is it?
mikelabThere is some problems with nvidia drivers above 182.50 version. I have no time and hardware to debug this problem. If somebody can, welcome to sourceforge!
ivorI also get TEST FAIL (Code: 80004005) and NO PASS COMPLETED in DirectX even with -ignore colors bit masks- unchecked - I have a Gainward nVidia 260 with 1779MB memory ( i did pass the limit in the batch file) The test always fails at the same point, at around 40% of 'Zeroes - verification' CUDA mode detects no errors Looks like one terrific program - I just have no idea what to make of these fails
BrianTest with Dell Precision t7500 and an Nvidia Quadro FX 1800. Test fail, with 2 separate video cards, one of which tested good in another system. What part of the computer barebones would cause repeat errors on multiple video cards? (code 80004005)
Nek.R.I tried to run a small test, but I got 132K of "Error at [3F9D1000]: must be FFFF, but found 7FFF (bits: 1000000000000000)" until I stopped it. What does that mean? When I unchecked the "Ignore colors bit mask" I didn't get those errors, but it failed in 4/5 tests and wrote "NO PASS COMPLETED". OpenGL and CUDA where all right. What is the problem?
mikelabIgnoring of the colors bit mask is a violation of video RAM access rules and some drivers/chips can fail in this mode. If this mode disabled, program will not test high bits, which exceeds color bit mask (these bits not used by videocard too).
Jimmyu shud uncheck the " ignore colors bit masks " and try againg , some errors appered cauzed by wrong color bits , not from a fail of video memory and i sugges its always better to run any test from dos , not windows
testing tomdirectx full shows huge amount of errors but cuda full and opengl say all ok , on 9600gt whos right?
omkartest was completed my card was compatable for that but there were many errors how can i fix those errors plz help me my email id omkarokk007@gmail.com
MiGBest Reagards from SERBIA, BG
JohnThank you A+++++
Slammin SamThanks for the use of your program. It is a bit above my knowledge level to determine what/where the errors are BUT I'm still working it out. Cheers from Australia!!
ABNice work mate. This is definitely very helpful.
RoyI have test ATI Radeon HD 3450 with PC doctor, it said Video memory test fail, error message is: Video Memory CRC checksum mismatchs but I use the vmt(v1.7.116)test it , it said ok
MarioJust to congratulate for this fine software.Really Impressive. I encourage to keep on with the dev and the good Work. Thanks Mikhail for the Good Job. Remains Sincerely.- Mario-aka el_espaniol mvlcub@hotmail.com ARGENTINA .- ( FAR Away....:))
