TechPowerUp GPU-Z (or just GPU-Z) is a lightweight utility designed to provide information about video cards and GPUs.[1] 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.[2]

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[3]
  • GPU core clock[3]
  • GPU memory clock
  • Low GPU
  • Fan speed
  • Nvidia SLI/AMD CrossFire

TechPowerUp

TechPowerUp is also the developer of the GPU-Z.[4][5][6] It also produces PC hardware, particularly graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units (CPUs).[7] Founded in 2004[8], it provides hardware reviews, benchmarking analysis, industry news, and maintains a GPU specifications database.[9][10][11]
