Processor Ryzen 7 5700X
Memory 48 GB
Video Card(s) RTX 4080
Storage 2x HDD RAID 1, 3x M.2 NVMe
Display(s) 30" 2560x1600 + 19" 1280x1024
Software Windows 10 64-bit
2.x introduced query_external as a way to get info that's not available for 32-bit binaries on 64-bit systems.

This approach also helps with external APIs (OpenCL, CUDA, PhysX, NVAPI, ADL) crashing, and GPU-Z gets the blame

Ok, that makes a lot of sense.

Edit; Was discussing this situation with a colleague of mine who also uses GPU-Z and he asked why there aren't two different builds, 32 and 64 bit? Seems reasonable and might allow for the main exe to run self-contained. Such might a be a decent solution for future versions. Just a thought.
