GPU-Z

GPU-Z, one of the most popular PC information providing tools has received a new update today. Version 2.0 has officially launched with a lot of new features for those who just love their overclocking.

What is GPU-Z?

CPU-Z is a program created by Tech Power Up which gives you a full readout of your computers information. This includes your processor, motherboard, graphics card, running speeds, and temperatures. It is a brilliant tool for those who want to find out a specific component on their PC or for those looking to apply an overclock. The main key point of the program is that it has all the information clearly and concisely displayed. GPU-Z can quite literally tell you everything you need to know about your PC. Such information which operating systems have to date never deemed within the user’s interest.

Do I need to download this?

I would recommend that most people download this. It’s lightweight and can tell you a lot about your PC you might not know. For example, your motherboard make/model, what speed your processor runs at, how much ram you have. While to the more tech minded this might all sound silly, to those new or unaware of how PC’s work, this program can provide a window into a lot of useful information. For overclocking, I’d say GPU-Z is almost vital. Yes, companies do have their own overclocking software these days, but for those of us who prefer the hands-on bios methods of overclocking, this is the go-to tool.
