GPUZ

GPU-Z is a free utility software developed by TechPowerUp that provides detailed information about a computer's graphics processing unit (GPU). It is designed for users who want to monitor and understand the specifications and performance characteristics of their graphics card. The program automatically detects the installed GPU and displays a wealth of data, including the GPU's name, manufacturer, codename, technology, and die size. It also reports on memory details such as the amount, type, and bus width, as well as clock speeds for both the GPU core and memory.

Beyond static specifications, GPU-Z offers real-time monitoring capabilities. Users can observe the current load on the GPU, its operating temperatures, fan speeds, and power consumption. This information is crucial for overclocking, troubleshooting performance issues, or simply ensuring the graphics card is operating within safe parameters. The software includes features like a GPU voltage monitor and the ability to read the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) status of the graphics card's VRAM. GPU-Z also supports GPU rendering tests to check for visual artifacts and can save sensor readings to a log file for later analysis. Its compact size and ease of use have made it a popular tool among PC enthusiasts and gamers.
