GPUZ is a PC graphics diagnostic and monitoring utility, which gives you up to date information of the GPUs installed in your system, and lets you monitor their clock speeds, temperatures, fan-speeds, voltages, dedicated memory usage, among other things.
The latest update to GPU-Z, version 2.58.0, introduces initial compatibility with Intel's Core Ultra "Meteor Lake" processors and adds support for AMD's Radeon RX 7600M graphics cards. This version also extends its coverage to include NVIDIA's new GPU models such as the RTX 3500 "Ada," RTX 3050 with 4GB memory, and the A500 series.
Significant improvements have been made to address periodic stuttering issues experienced in games like Counter Strike 2, which were attributed to GPU-Z's interactions with Radeon hardware. Moreover, the utility now offers Video BIOS version information for Intel's "Alder Lake," "Raptor Lake," and the updated "Raptor Lake Refresh" processors.
The release also introduces support for Shader Model versions 6.7 and 6.8, and enhances DXVA to include reporting for 8K resolution profiles. Notably, the PCIe resizable BAR feature's reporting accuracy has been improved for NVIDIA's "Turing" series GPUs, extending the functionality previously available only for Ampere and newer models.
Further refinements include corrected formatting for certain OpenCL size values in the Advanced tab and the addition of digital signing to the GPU-Z installer. The update ensures accurate display of the ROP count for both the Radeon RX 7900 GRE and NVIDIA A40. Issues with memory type identification for AMD's "Zen 4" mobile processors, specifically distinguishing DDR5 from LPDDR5 memory, have been resolved. Additionally, a rare bluescreen error affecting some AMD GPUs has been addressed.
The Home screen hosts a wide range of solutions to tune up graphics card efficiency and performance. The most thorough of these is the OC Scanner, which completely automates the overclocking process for Nvidia graphics cards. For users who want a plug-and-play experience, preset profiles line the top of the Home screen for an instantaneous boost in frequency or reduction in noise. Additional adjustments can be made by using the comprehensive panel of sliders to control power settings, clocks, and fans.
The OC Scanner algorithm automatically optimizes clock speeds for Nvidia graphics cards. GPU Tweak III saves the settings as a profile without overwriting driver data so you can return to default settings.
Profile Connect allows settings to be saved and linked to specific applications. Overclock settings, fan curves, and even customized OSD settings can all be saved and automatically loaded whenever a target app runs.
GPU fans, as well as any system fans connected to FanConnect headers, can be fully customized with user-defined curves or static RPM settings. New for GPU Tweak III are hysteresis and update period options to adjust how quickly fans respond to temperature changes. All of these settings can be saved to profiles alongside preferred voltage and clock settings.
A built-in OSD allows vital system information to be displayed while running full-screen applications. Users have two styles to choose from, and can tweak fonts, colors, opacity, size, and position of metrics. A new preview mode makes it easy to check adjustments without re-opening a program over and over again. OSD settings are saved in Profile Connect, so custom OSDs will load automatically along with the assigned application.
Easily customize the colors of the GPU Tweak III interface at any time to suit your tastes. Or insert a custom background image, with adjustable transparency.
Note: An 823x520 image or an image with the same aspect ratio is recommended for the best results.
The software has been updated to fix CPU display issues, reduce resource consumption, prevent crashes and improve the OSD overlay in games. The GPU-Z version has also been updated, and the Tool section now shows software installation status.
From version V1.7.5.5 and onwards, the software now supports the RTX 40 SUPER series. It also introduces Plug-in functionality with HWMonitor support, a new toggle option for Monitor logs, and improved OSD timing in games/software. Installation of GT3 now allows users to choose Mobile function installation. Bug fixes include resolving fan control issues for AMD series graphics cards and fixing profile connection failures. The 'Apply previous setting' feature is now selected by default.
Version 1.7.2.3 introduces various bug fixes, including UI display issues with the 0dB fan and Fan Mode, fan startup problems on computer boot, blue screen occurrences on specific M.2 hard drive platforms, and temperature reading issues on certain motherboards. Additionally, Mobile Monitor now features enhanced IP address filtering for improved functionality.
The latest version of GPU Tweak III brings improved Mobile Monitor compatibility, fixed external fan control issues, and enhanced user experience with language support and preventive popups for Matrix model users.
The latest edition of GPU Tweak III includes improvements for the voltage-frequency curve and Nvidia water cooling cards, updates to address minor visual bugs, a fix to correct a conflict with Armoury Crate, and new features for the on-screen display (OSD).
The latest version of GPU Tweak 3 contains a variety of updates, including fixes for fan behavior, profile settings and the functionality of the on-screen display (OSD).
In the meantime, we have received feedback from some users regarding the previous version, which had the potential to cause loss of profile files upon installation. Upon identifying this issue, we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused as a result of this issue and immediately embarked on a proactive investigation to determine its root cause and implement appropriate measures.
We have already resolved the problem that might cause loss of profile files upon installation. And we have uploaded the new version.
However, if you are already affected, we recommend using the "Clean install" functionality and creating a new profile file.
This version of GPU Tweak III can now detect Steam and Epic Games Store games even when they are downloaded to custom locations, and the Monitor section now includes a frame time graph. There are also a number of fixes for the OSD, app behavior and appearance, and the repair of a memory leak that some users may have encountered.
With this latest version, GPU Tweak III is now fully compatible with the Java version of Minecraft. It also arrives with a commonly requested fix for external fan curve controls, plus improvements to the behavior of OC Scan and a few tweaks for the display of system information.
After a long and productive beta, this is the official launch version of GPU Tweak III! With this release comes multi-language support, helpful tooltips, FPS metrics in the Monitor, and tons of quality-of-life improvements.
Thanks for all the support during our launch! In this patch, we added a commonly-requested feature: auto-reveal for external fan settings, so they appear on the Home screen when detected. Home screen on startup. We also tinkered with OSD profile behavior and fixed some interface bugs.
The UI has had substantial changes, with new icons for the tabs on the left side, and other tweaks all throughout the software. Of course, it comes with a number of fixes as well, and quality-of-life backend updates.

GPU-Z 0.3.3 works on a PIII and Windows XP. But personally I prefer to use HWiNFO and AIDA64, since both work even on a Pentium with Windows 95 and will provide you the same information GPU-Z shows. There's also a current version of CPU-Z for Windows 95, but I don't know how good it identifies old GPUs. I also use the last version PowerStrip on my old machines which both identifies the hardware and can overclock old GPUs.
Good to know. I've installed AIDA64 but it's a limited trial from what I recall, and there's nothing worse than shareware time limits running out on old hardware. I don't like going the cheat/hack route. Would rather have something that works legit without limitations.
