TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.6.8 Released
TechPowerUp announced version 0.6.8 of GPU-Z, the popular graphics subsystem information, monitoring, and diagnostic utility, which gives you detailed information about the installed graphics hardware, and lets you monitor key specifications in real-time, such as clock speeds, temperatures, voltages, and video memory usage. Version 0.6.8 introduces support for new GPUs, namely NVIDIA's GeForce GTX Titan, GeForce 505 (GT216), GT 640M, GTX 675MX, Quadro K2000, and K3000; AMD's Radeon HD 7480D, FirePro W8000, V8700, fake HD 6850 (based on HD 6450). GPU load monitoring method on AMD GPUs is improved, and should be more accurate. Several minor bugs were patched.

- Profit!
Edit:
By the way, will the memory usage readout ever be changed for Windows 8 in any future version of GPU-Z? The dedicated memory useage never goes above 0 as far as I know, so I guess it has become a bit redundant?
However, I would imagine that of all the people using GPU-Z, only a very small fraction would ever need it for that exact purpose, so I found it admirable that you still choose included it your piece of software. :)
You and your labours are appreciated.
