The official support for upcoming AMD’s Radeon RX 8000 arrives in the GPU-Z software. Apart from RX 8000, both Intel Arc Battlemage GPUs also get full support in the software.
One of the two upcoming Navi 4X chips was added to GPU-Z 2.61, ensuring proper GPU reporting before the GPUs arrive
The popular GPU specs monitoring tool, GPU-Z has got a major update today, which now lists the support for upcoming AMD Radeon GPUs. As seen on the Techpowerup, the GPU-Z v2.61 now supports the Navi 48 GPU, which is going to be used in the upcoming Radeon RX 8000 GPUs.
GPU-Z 2.61 Release Notes:
- Added support for Intel Arc B570 & B580 (Battlemage), Core Ultra 200 iGPU (Arrow Lake)
- Added support for AMD Navi 48, Ryzen 9800X3D iGPU
- Added support for NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti ES, H100 80GB HBM3, A4000H, A800 40 GB Active, RTX 5880 Ada, Tesla K40st
- Added support for Qualcomm Adreno 540, 630, 640, 642L
- Fixed crash on some AMD Ryzen systems with older drivers when dGPU installed and iGPU device disabled
- Added PCI vendors Shangke and ONIX
There are currently two GPU chips that are reported to be released for the AMD RX 8000 graphics cards. One is the Navi 48 and the other is the Navi 44. The latter isn’t yet listed for GPU-Z support but should follow soon. This also indicates that AMD may not release the Navi 44-based GPUs at the time of Navi 48 GPUs and may follow up later.
Unlike previous generations, the Navi 48 is going to be faster than the Navi 44 and will go against high-end RTX 70-class GPUs from the NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs. Navi 44 is set to tackle the mid-range and budget GPU segments. Not much has been revealed about these two GPUs till now but one should expect both of them to be unveiled at CES 2025 when NVIDIA is going to release its RTX 50 series Blackwell Gaming GPUs.
Apart from the Navi 48, the Xe2-based Intel Battlemage GPUs have also received support on the GPU-Z 2.61. These contain both the Intel Arc B580 and the B570. The former was launched already a few days ago but the B570 will be launched on 16th January 2025. Plus, the Core Ultra 200 iGPU have also got full support in the latest GPU-Z software.
Being fully supported in GPU-Z tool means that the software will report correct specifications. Expect more such tools to feature full support for the upcoming graphics cards at the launch time or before/after the release.
