# GPU-Z

Application: TechPowerUp

Dem still dey call am gpuz, gpu-z, techpowerup gpu-z

TechPowerUp, System

E dey identify GPU and im sensors. Di process na GPU-Z.exe. E no be driver and e no be CPU-Z.

## Wetin you need know

GPU-Z dey identify di graphics card. E no be driver and e no be CPU-Z.

TechPowerUp GPU-Z dey name di GPU and e dey show sensors. Collect am from techpowerup.com/gpuz. CPU-Z na CPUID CPU and RAM tool. Graphics driver na separate vendor install.

- **Wetin e be?**: GPU identifier and sensor window

  **Shey na driver?**: No. Install NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel separately

  **E be di same as CPU-Z?**: No. CPU-Z na CPUID CPU tool

Feex tok say

If di GPU name na di question, I go open GPU-Z, no be CPU-Z. I go still install di vendor driver from NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel. GPU-Z no be dat installer.

## Wetin be GPU-Z?

GPU-Z dey report graphics adapter identity and sensors. GPU-Z.exe na single-file tool for plenty installs. If you install am, e no mean say you don install driver. CPU-Z na different vendor.

## If you never use am before

If you need di GPU name, BIOS version, or sensor list, GPU-Z na TechPowerUp identifier. Download am from techpowerup.com/gpuz. E no be graphics driver. E no be CPU-Z wey dey name processor and RAM.

## Wetin dem dey use am for?

**Read GPU name, VRAM, and BIOS version**

Di Graphics Card tab na for identity. CPU-Z no go give you dis BIOS string.

**De look sensors**

Di Sensors tab dey show clocks and temperatures wey di GPU report. Dat one still no be driver package.

**Save BIOS or validation screenshot**

Advanced extras dey inside di window. Dem no dey replace GeForce, AMD, or Intel driver setup.

## Na who e dey for?

- People wey dey buy used GPU and dey check di BIOS
- Anybody wey dem tell make e "post GPU-Z" for forum
- Users wey open CPU-Z and dey ask where di video card go

## Current status

GPU-Z (2007) na current gpu identifier from TechPowerUp. Di vendor still dey point Windows users to https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/.

## How old e be?

GPU-Z start for 2007. CPU-Z old pass am (2000) and na from CPUID, no be TechPowerUp. Current GPU-Z still dey track new NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPUs as di vendor dey add dem.

## Versions

Major channels first. Exact build numbers no dey all verified here.

Installer

Portable exe

## System requirements

Values dey follow wetin di publisher release publicly. Workload still dey change di real need.

### Minimum

| Operating system | Windows 10 or Windows 11, according to TechPowerUp current GPU-Z page |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| RAM              | E reach for Windows plus dis app. Heavy projects go want more.        |

## Resource profile

- **CPU demand**: Low

  **GPU demand**: Sensor polling. No be 3D bench unless you start one elsewhere

## Installed processes

Dese executables belong to dis product when e dey installed.

| GPU-Z.exe | GPU identity window |
| --------- | ------------------- |

## Startup components

GPU-Z fit minimize go tray for sensors. Dat one na choice. E no be driver service.

## File locations

| Typical install | C:\Program Files\GPU-Z\\ |
| --------------- | ------------------------ |

## File formats

TXT reports and optional BIOS files

## Common wahala dem

### People dey tink say to install GPU-Z dey update di driver

E dey only read di card. Use NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel installer for drivers.

### Sensors dey empty on top brand new GPU

Wait for GPU-Z update, or read HWiNFO. CPU-Z no go cover dis gap.

## How to get unstuck

### Download from techpowerup.com/gpuz

"GPU-Z driver pack" exe no come from TechPowerUp. CPU-Z na di oda identity tool if na processor you want.

### If di GPU tab talk say unknown, update GPU-Z after new card launch

Di database dey delay one week sometimes. Na GPU-Z be dat, no be missing CPU-Z tab.

### Install di vendor driver if clocks look like say dem stuck for idle

GPU-Z dey report wetin di driver show. Normal Microsoft Basic Display Adapter dey limit di sensors.

## Alternatives

HWiNFO for wider sensor list. CPU-Z for CPU and RAM. Vendor control panels for real driver settings.

## Official help and downloads

Start with di vendor. Random exe sites no be support channel.
