❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about GPU Benchmark Tool and GPU optimization.
GPU Benchmark Tool can be installed via pip with a simple command: pip install gpu-benchmark-tool. For NVIDIA GPUs, use pip install gpu-benchmark-tool[nvidia], and for AMD GPUs, use pip install gpu-benchmark-tool[amd]. For maximum compatibility, install with pip install gpu-benchmark-tool[all].
GPU Benchmark Tool supports GPUs from all major manufacturers including NVIDIA (RTX, GTX, Quadro, Tesla series), AMD (Radeon RX, Radeon Pro, Instinct series), and Intel (Arc discrete and integrated graphics). The tool automatically detects available GPUs and provides appropriate monitoring capabilities.
Our health score is a 100-point system that evaluates your GPU's condition: 85-100 (Healthy - safe for all workloads), 70-84 (Good - suitable for most tasks), 55-69 (Degraded - limit to light compute), and 0-54 (Critical - consider replacement). The score considers temperature stability, power efficiency, utilization patterns, and thermal throttling.
Absolutely! All GPU monitoring happens locally on your device. We don't collect, store, or transmit any personal hardware information. Your data remains completely private and secure. The tool works entirely offline once installed.
For regular monitoring, we recommend running a quick health check weekly. For comprehensive benchmarking, monthly testing is sufficient for most users. If you're experiencing performance issues or have made hardware changes, run benchmarks immediately to establish new baselines.
While GPU Benchmark Tool doesn't directly overclock your GPU, it provides essential monitoring capabilities to ensure safe overclocking. Use our temperature and power monitoring features to verify stability when overclocking with other tools like MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision X1.
