TechPowerUp GPU-Z v2.26.0 Released
Today we released the latest version of TechPowerUp GPU-Z, the popular graphics subsystem information, monitoring, and diagnostic utility. Version 2.26.0 adds support for new GPUs, introduces new features, and fixes problems with existing ones. To begin with, support is added for AMD Radeon RX 5500 and RX 5500M, TU104-based NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (non-Super), and Quadro P520. Fake detection has been added for various "Kepler" based GTX 10-series knockoffs.
With this release we fixed an application crash during BIOS extraction on nearly all NVIDIA GPUs. Another crash that appears when the application is launched on machines with AMD "Navi" GPUs without drivers installed. The ASUS ROG skin has been fixed to properly show the "Close" button in the bottom. We also improved the memory junction temperature tooltip on AMD "Navi" to denote that the hottest chip's junction temperature is being reported, and not an average across all chips. Last version's AMD Navi fan-stop fix has been reverted since AMD fixed the issue since their 19.9.1 drivers. PCIe and CrossFire state detection has been fixed for AMD "Navi" and "Vega 20" based graphics cards. Grab it from the link below.

Good job!
GPU-Z version 2.14.0 is what I consider, to some degree, a stable version.
Unfortunately, every time when a GPU-Z developer introduces some new functionality new errors are made as well and this is a typical junior-like style of programming.
One of the most disturbing bugs is when GPU-Z fails to initialize completely, Splash screen is left on the screen, the main dialog-box is Not displayed and it is Not possible to kill incompletely initialized executable ( only reboot helps ).
UI-features are also Not taken care of. That is, I use a portable multi-GPU setup on a mobile workstation for R&D and software development and this is what I'd like to see as a new feature of GPU-Z.
