Software Update: GPU-Z 0.8.6

Version 0.8.6 of GPU-Z has been released. This program can tell exactly which graphics card is in the PC. For example, the program mentions the manufacturer, model, type, revision and speed of the graphics processor, but also the amount, type and speed of the memory. Although the name and appearance are reminiscent of CPU-Z and PCI-Z – similar programs for processors and PCI devices – all of these programs are from different manufacturers. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
