1 – Overview
GPU Caps Viewer 1.37.0 comes with the support of latest GeForce GTX 1070 Ti. The support of Windows XP is back (WinXp covers around 5% of the desktop OS market). The GeeXLab SDK has been updated to the latest version and fixes some bugs in the Vulkan renderer. New demos (tessellation demo in Vulkan and OpenGL) have been added to the GeeXLab demos list.
Simple tessellation demo: Vulkan (5300 FPS) vs OpenGL (3300 FPS)

3 – What is GPU Caps Viewer?
GPU Caps Viewer is a graphics card information utility focused on the OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL and CUDA API level support of the main (primary) graphics card. For Vulkan, OpenCL and CUDA, GPU Caps Viewer details the API support of each capable device available in the system. GPU Caps Viewer offers also a simple GPU monitoring facility (clock speed, temperature, GPU usage, fan speed) for NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon based graphics cards. GPU data can be submitted to an online GPU database.
4 – Changelog
Version 1.37.0.0 – 2017.10.30
+ added support of the GeForce GeForce GTX 1070 Ti.
+ added new GeeXLab demos: Vulkan tessellation and
OpenGL tessellation.
! compiled with WinXP support (broken in prev versions).
! recompiled with latest GeeXLab SDK (a bug has been
fixed in the swapchain management in the Vulkan plugin).
! updated with latest GeeXLab SDK libs.
! recompiled with latest Vulkan API headers (v1.0.65).
! updated: GPU Shark 0.10.0.4
! updated: ZoomGPU 1.21.2 (GPU monitoring library).
As I know from a previous version (only a few months before) some of the demos/tools (which are mostly ancient and obsolete) are broken and cause serious instability (exclusive, on a GTX 1070 on Windows 7). Furmark runs stable and like a charm in comparison.
Avira complains on gxc_x32.dll and move to quarantine.
It’s a false positive from Avira. The 64-bit version (gxc_x64.dll used in GeeXLab for example) is clean for Avira. It’s not the first time I have false positive on 32-bit code. I submitted gxc_x32.dll to Avira. Wait and see. Maybe it’s time for me to stop 32-bit platforms and release only for 64-bit.
Thx for explanation. Its just a bit irritating from avira side.
I received a reply from Avira:
Avira virus definition should be updated very shortly.
Would the source code be available by any chance?
In demo “OpenGl 3.2 – Geometry Instancing” I don’t see these 5000 boxes, only dark grey background.
I have Geforce GTX 750, 378.66 drivers, win 7 x64
