Download GPU-Z for PC, Windows 11/10, Mac and iPhone

GPU-Z is a free Windows-only program from TechPowerUp: it runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 PCs (and older Windows back to XP), and there is no Mac or iPhone version.

Below are the official download routes, the winget install, what GPU-Z shows, the built-in alternatives on Mac and Windows, and fixes for install problems.

Which GPU-Z download do you need?

Your device	What to get	Where
Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC, comfortable with a terminal	GPU-Z through winget, the Windows Package Manager, which checks the installer hash	TechPowerUp.GPU-Z in the winget repository
Windows 11 or Windows 10 PC, prefer a normal download	The GPU-Z file from TechPowerUp's own GPU-Z page (techpowerup.com/gpuz)	Publisher site, TechPowerUp
Windows 8, 7, Vista or XP	The same GPU-Z file; TechPowerUp lists support for these versions, 32 and 64 bit	Publisher site, TechPowerUp
Mac	No GPU-Z build exists; use the System Report in macOS	System Information User Guide for Mac
iPhone or iPad	No GPU-Z app exists	Not available
You want processor and memory details instead	CPU-Z from CPUID, also in winget	CPUID.CPU-Z in the winget repository

Download GPU-Z for Windows 11 and Windows 10

TechPowerUp publishes GPU-Z on its own site at techpowerup.com/gpuz, and the same installer is listed in Microsoft's winget repository under the ID TechPowerUp.GPU-Z.

The winget entry points at TechPowerUp's download server and stores a SHA256 hash of the file, so winget stops when a download does not match.

• TechPowerUp GPU-Z package (winget-pkgs, Microsoft) (2.71.0): Freeware, x86 installer that runs on Windows, both 32 and 64 bit

To check a file downloaded from TechPowerUp by hand, run winget hash --file followed by the path to the file. For version 2.71.0 the result should be A2412D6720E091F65925622561C3F274A25ECD0B9FB0F50AB3B910918F01DEE9, the hash stored in the winget entry.

Install GPU-Z with winget on Windows 11 and 10

WinGet is part of App Installer and works on Windows 11 and on Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or later.

1. Search for Terminal or Command Prompt from Start and open it.
2. Type winget install --id TechPowerUp.GPU-Z -e and press Enter. The --id and -e options limit the match to the exact GPU-Z package.
3. Accept the winget source agreement if winget asks for it.
4. Approve the Windows elevation prompt. GPU-Z installs for the whole machine, and declining the prompt stops the install.
5. Run winget list TechPowerUp.GPU-Z to confirm the install. The installed GPU-Z version appears in the list.

How to install GPU-Z on Windows 11 and 10 or run it portable

GPU-Z needs no installation. The downloaded file runs as a standalone program, and the same file carries the optional installer.

1. Download the GPU-Z file from TechPowerUp's GPU-Z page; the file name carries the version, such as GPU-Z.2.71.0.exe.
2. Double-click the file to run GPU-Z without installing it.
3. Keep the file in any folder and run it from there each time for a portable copy.
4. To install it instead, run the file with the -install switch from an administrator command prompt, or -installSilent for an install with no windows.

Is GPU-Z free?

Yes. GPU-Z is freeware from TechPowerUp LLC. The winget manifest for GPU-Z 2.71.0 lists the license as Freeware, with TechPowerUp LLC as the author and techpowerup.com/gpuz as the package page.

TechPowerUp lists only Windows versions for GPU-Z, so there is no macOS download and no App Store app for iPhone or iPad.

How to check your GPU-Z version and update it

1. Open Terminal or Command Prompt.
2. Run winget list TechPowerUp.GPU-Z to see the installed version.
3. Run winget show --id TechPowerUp.GPU-Z to see the newest version in the repository and its release notes.
4. Run winget upgrade --id TechPowerUp.GPU-Z to install the update. GPU-Z's winget entry upgrades by running the new installer over the old one.
5. For a portable copy, download the newer file from TechPowerUp and replace the old file.

Fix GPU-Z not downloading, installing or reading your GPU

winget is not recognized as a command

App Installer is missing, Windows 10 is older than version 1809, or Windows has not registered winget for your account yet.

1. Check your Windows version; winget needs Windows 11 or Windows 10 version 1809 (build 17763) or later.
2. Install or update App Installer from the Microsoft Store.
3. If App Installer is present, open PowerShell and run Add-AppxPackage -RegisterByFamilyName -MainPackage Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe.
4. Close and reopen the terminal, then run the GPU-Z install command again.

winget lists several packages instead of installing GPU-Z

A plain winget install gpu-z does a substring search and can match more than one package.

1. Run winget install --id TechPowerUp.GPU-Z -e so only the exact ID matches.
2. If more than one source is configured, add --source winget.

The install fails right after the permission prompt

GPU-Z installs machine-wide, and the install stops if the elevation prompt is declined.

1. Run the install command again.
2. Approve the elevation prompt this time.
3. If you cannot approve elevation on the PC, run the GPU-Z file without installing instead.

winget reports an installer hash mismatch

The downloaded file does not match the SHA256 hash stored in the winget repository.

1. Run winget source update, then retry the install.
2. If it still fails, download GPU-Z from TechPowerUp's own page instead.
3. Do not add --ignore-security-hash; Microsoft marks that option as not recommended.

GPU-Z shows missing or wrong graphics card details

GPU-Z adds support for new graphics chips release by release, as the 2.71.0 notes for the RTX 5060 and Intel Panther Lake show, so an older copy can miss a newer GPU.

1. Update GPU-Z to the latest version with winget upgrade --id TechPowerUp.GPU-Z.
2. Install the current driver from NVIDIA or AMD for your card.
3. Restart the PC and open GPU-Z again.

How to uninstall GPU-Z

1. Select Start > Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
2. Find GPU-Z in the list, then select More > Uninstall.
3. Alternatively, run winget uninstall --id TechPowerUp.GPU-Z in a terminal.
4. For a portable copy that was never installed, delete the GPU-Z file.

How to check your GPU on Windows without GPU-Z

Tool	Where to find it	What it shows
Task Manager	Open Task Manager and select the Performance tab, then GPU 0	GPU utilization per engine and video memory use, read directly from the Windows graphics kernel; needs a WDDM 2.0 driver

Frequently asked questions

How do you download GPU-Z?

Download GPU-Z from TechPowerUp's GPU-Z page at techpowerup.com/gpuz, or run winget install –id TechPowerUp.GPU-Z -e in Terminal on Windows 11 or Windows 10. Both deliver the same TechPowerUp installer, and the file also runs without installing.

Is GPU-Z safe to download?

Yes, when it comes from TechPowerUp's own site or through winget. The winget entry stores a SHA256 hash of TechPowerUp's installer and stops when a file does not match. Copies on download portals add an extra party you have to trust.

How do you use GPU-Z?

Open GPU-Z to see the adapter, GPU and display details, memory size, type, speed and bus width, and default and boost clocks. The sensors tab shows sensor readings that can be logged to a file, and the advanced tab adds NVIDIA overclocking readouts.

Does GPU-Z work on Windows 11?

Yes. TechPowerUp lists Windows 11 support alongside Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista and XP, both 32 and 64 bit. The same file covers every supported version, so there is no separate Windows 11 download.

Is there a portable version of GPU-Z?

The standard GPU-Z file is the portable version. It runs without installation, and the installer it contains is optional, so you can keep the file in any folder and run it on any supported Windows PC.

How do you download CPU-Z?

CPU-Z comes from CPUID at cpuid.com, and it is also in winget: run winget install –id CPUID.CPU-Z -e in Terminal. CPU-Z is freeware and reports the processor, mainboard, chipset and memory, while GPU-Z covers the graphics card.

How do you download GPU drivers for NVIDIA?

Download NVIDIA drivers from nvidia.com/drivers, either through manual driver search for your card or with the NVIDIA App, which keeps drivers up to date automatically. Game Ready Drivers are certified by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs.

How do you download AMD GPU drivers?

Use AMD's drivers page at amd.com, where the Auto-Detect and Install tool finds the right driver for Radeon graphics on Windows 11 or Windows 10 64-bit version 1809 and later. You can also search for your exact product.

Where should you download GPU-Z?

Only from TechPowerUp, the developer, at techpowerup.com/gpuz, or through Microsoft's winget, which fetches the file from TechPowerUp's server. Mirrors and repackaged downloads are not published by TechPowerUp.
