TechPowerUp GPU-Z (or just GPU-Z) is a lightweight utility designed to provide information about video cards and GPUs.[2] The program displays the specifications of Graphics Processing Unit (often shortened to GPU) and its memory; also displays temperature, core frequency, memory frequency, GPU load and fan speeds.[3]
Features
This program allows to view the following information of the video card:
- Graphics card’s name
- Fake GPU detection
- GPU internal codename
- Technology process
- Chip die size
- Number of transistors
- Support for DirectX / pixel shader
- Memory type
- Amount of video memory
- Memory bandwidth
- Type of bus
- Width of the bus
- Frequency of the GPU (default / overclocked)
- Memory clock
- Driver version
- VBIOS version
- Sensors[4]
- GPU core clock[4]
- GPU memory clock
- Low GPU
- Fan speed
- Nvidia SLI/AMD CrossFire
TechPowerUp
TechPowerUp is also the developer of the GPU-Z.[5][6][7] It also produces PC hardware, particularly graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units (CPUs).[8] Founded in 2004[9], it provides hardware reviews, benchmarking analysis, industry news, and maintains a GPU specifications database.[10][11][12]
