A new version of GPU-Z is available.

Many of you may have heard of a program known as CPU-Z. It is a free small program that displays a lot of useful information about your CPU, motherboard and memory. Here is what the front tab of CPU-Z looks like:

CPU-Z front

techPowerUp! has developed a similar utility for graphics cards and they call it GPU-Z. You can download the latest version 0.0.6 right here. Here is what the front tab of GPU-Z looks like:

GPU-Z front

To be clear, these little utilities display (usually VERY accurate) information about your system. They do not allow you to overclock or change any settings.

EDIT:

A GPUReview commenter by the name of Jimmy 2004 has provided us with a link to the GPU-Z section in the techPowerUp! forums. He adds, " ...it's a very early version so plenty of people are finding some issues, and if you report any you are having along with your hardware specification it should help speed up the development."

EDIT  2:

They have version 0.0.6 ready already. I changed the link in the story.

You could also check out the GPU-Z section on techPowerUp! (the forums owned by the person who created GPU-Z) if you're having any problems - it's a very early version so plenty of people are finding some issues, and if you report any you are having along with your hardware specification it should help speed up the development.

why is it that gpu-z detects my vcard fx 5500 2 vertex shaders? it is suppose to be only 1 vertex right? what do you guys think? and also the memory bandwidth shows that my card has 12.8 when it is supposed to have only 6.4? my memory speed is 400 mhz on 128 bit

The FX cards have one "array" of vertex pipelines . It was different than the usual , so there was no way of telling how many . But seems that the gpu-z detected 2 vertex pipelines for it . About the 12.8gb/sec thing I don't know . It's a mistery to me .
