official GPU-Z (2023) is a system utility that provides all the vital information about your video card and graphic processor installed in your system. The tool allows you to monitor clock speeds, temperatures, fan speeds, voltages, dedicated memory usage, and much more. You can use the software for free for your personal use.
- GPU-Z is an information utility for displaying the technical and operational characteristics of integrated graphics cards and discrete graphics cards on the processor or motherboard. Output information about the graphics gas pedal hardware supported technologies, and the driver used.
The utility from techpowerup is able to read and display current sensor readings: voltage, fan speed, and frequency. Allows you to save the BIOS of the video card into a file, test the device and remove unnecessary information from the screen.

- HOW TO USE GPU-Z
A little information on how to use GPU z. Distributed with a classic interface and a stylized ASUS ROG look and feel.
Officially delivered in English*
Graphics Card - Information about the technical specifications and supported graphics card technologies, and current performance indicators.
Sensors - information from 12 sensors installed on the graphics adapter.
Advanced - here you can view detailed information about the timings and the software shell: supported versions of DirectX, Vulkan, and BIOS firmware.
Validation - validation check, feedback. what the GPU Z shows
In the settings, you can specify the language of the tooltips. Next to it, you can create screenshots of the GPU-Z window, save them to a file or send them to the developer's server.*
- PROGRAM INTERFACE
The utility allows you to see more than 30 blocks of information about the graphics gas pedal with detailed explanations in Russian. Let's briefly list all the items shown by gpu z, (in order of placement).
- the manufacturing process and chip size.
- The vendor and model ID of the device.
- A number of bitmap blocks and system bus interface.
- A number of shader blocks and the DirectX version.
- Pixel speed - the number of rendered pixels per second and texture filling speed - the number of texels processed per 1 s.
- Amount of video memory and bus bandwidth.
- Installed driver version and its release date.
- Current and default values of the graphics core and video memory speed.
- Supported technologies: PhysX, CUDA, etc.
- The question mark button to the right opens a window where you can run the GPU z video card test to check the PCI bus speed. Video cards have power-saving technologies, with no load they go into a mode with less bus bandwidth. The test will force the graphics gas pedal and the bus to operate at maximum load to assess the speed of the latter.
- At the bottom of the drop-down list selects the graphics adapter about which the application will display data if more than one graphics card is used on the PC. The information from the main window is not saved or even copied to a text file. It is possible to capture only with a screenshot.
- SENSOR READINGS
The GPU-Z program regularly polls the sensors installed on the components of the device. It displays the following information:
- core and video memory frequencies;
- the temperature of the graphics card GPU z;
- fan speed from maximum, %;
- current fan spindle speed;
- load on the video adapter;
- the used amount of video memory;
- core voltage depending on the load;
- current consumption in % of peak current;
- main CPU temperature;
- RAM consumption.
- checking the GPU video card z
For each variable, you can display the current, minimum, peak, and average of the recorded values, exported to a text document. The required indicators can be displayed in the window header.
- ADVANCED PARAMETERS
- The Advanced tab drop-down list contains several pages of information about supported APIs: OpenCL, Vulcan, each version of DirectX, drivers, and firmware. The contents of any line or an entire section can be copied to the clipboard.
- Let`s mention the ASIC quality parameter separately - it shows the quality of the chip, based on the electric current leakage (not very trustworthy, but it says something about the state of the device).
- GPU-Z chip quality
- SETTINGS
- The configuration settings indicate the behavior of the application: whether it starts with Windows, starts in windowed mode or in the background, displays tooltips and their language, and the active tab by default.
- GPU z settings.
- The Sensors tab changes the sensor polling time and excludes sensor readings that are not of interest from the list.
- GPU z sensor readings
Main Features of GPU-Z
- CONCLUSIONS
GPU-Z requires no installation and displays several pages of data about the integrated or discrete graphics card. It polls the specified sensors with a specified frequency and builds time charts based on their performance. Part of the received data can be exported to a file.
How to use gpu z for gamers? For this purpose, there is a version with an interface in the style of gaming products from ASUS.*
