GPU-Z is a lightweight system utility designed to provide vital information about your video card and graphics processor.
Are GPU-Z temperatures accurate?
Yes, GPU-Z's readings are quite accurate. GPU-Z is a popular utility because of its precise readings and broad compatibility with different graphics card makes and brands.
Can GPU-Z increase my GPU fan speed?
No, GPU-Z is an informative utility only. It shows your GPU temps and all the information about your graphics card. For overclocking your GPU you can use instead MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision X1 or Asus GPU Tweak 3.
What are the best GPU-Z alternatives?
Two great alternatives are Open Hardware Monitor, which is also free and open source, and HWiNFO, but there are a few more like Speccy and AIDA64. You can also check out our feature about apps to analyze and monitor your PC.
