TechPowerUp today introduced version 0.4.0 of GPU-Z, the popular graphics-subsystem information and monitoring utility.

It supports Intel "Pineview" Atom processors with embedded graphics processors. It correctly reads memory actual clock speeds for NVIDIA GPUs with GDDR5 memory interface, adds tooltip language support for Traditional Chinese and Albanian, and more standards-compliant method of calculating memory bandwidth.

With this release, ASUS and TechPowerUp team up for a special Hardware Giveaway, a simple form to fill, and you will stand a chance to win some epic pieces of hardware from ASUS' elite Republic of Gamers series. To participate, complete and submit a simple questionnaire in the "Hardware Giveaway" tab of GPU-Z 0.4.0. The giveaway is open to GPU-Z users of all nationalities, participation is free of charge.

This is a very generous give-away by ASUS! Thank you TPU for organising this! Let's hope word of mouth will bring new hits and members :)

For anyone who hasnt read the link yet, then do! www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/contest1.php

However, 2 questions:

1./ The competition starts 1 April. Does that mean if I entered today, I had better enter again after 1 April?
2./ If I have more than one machine running GPUz, each with a different GPU, can I/should I make a submission from each machine?

2 is an important point, because I am happy to "fill the database with user specs", but at the same time I dont want to "spam the database with the same user". Guidance pls. And I certainly dont want to be kicked from the give-away because I had a double entry! :P

btw, is it possible to include a link to the Bios Database as it hard to find your own vBios when it was posted before?
In my case it says already there 53318.rom, but where.... as if i know additional informations to my card

@Baum, go to display settings and select 120dpi, rather than 96dpi, and DONT use "big fonts". The effect is similar but better and more compatible. GPUz works fine under 120dpi.

@w1z. What's the answer to the multi-entry issue in post#32? Anandtech is also running a giveaway and they explicitly ban all user who multi-enter. What is the deal here? Is one entry per system and per month allowed, even if on a local LAN and therefore the same IP?

no need for an entry each month .. just enter all your systems (fine from one ip), done
