TechPowerUp released the latest version of GPU-Z, the popular video hardware information and diagnostic utility. Version 0.8.2 brings with it a vast number of changes, support for new hardware, and bug-fixes. To begin with, the user-interface of GPU-Z received a major update, with the addition of a "Lookup" button that takes you to our GPU Database page corresponding to your GPU. The app can now tell you if your drivers are WHQL-signed. GPU manufacturer logos are updated.

Among the new hardware supported includes NVIDIA GeForce TITAN-X, GTX 980M, GTX 970M, GGTX 965M, GTX 845M, GTX 760 Ti OEM, GTX 660 (960 shaders), GT 705, GT 720, GT 745M, NVS 310, and Grid; AMD Radeon R9 255, FirePro W7100, HD 8370D, AMD R9 M280X, and R9 M295X; and Intel "Broadwell" integrated graphics. Specifications are revised for GeForce GTX 970.

A large number of bugs were fixed, and overall usability improved, including notably GPU-Z now supports Windows 10. We implemented a new working way of extracting BIOS from NVIDIA GPUs on systems with WIndows 8 and higher, to avoid a system hang. A large number of bugs were fixed, and overall usability of the app improved, as detailed in the change-log.

Solaris17This displays windows 8 in build 9926 enterprise edition of win 10 beta.
This is a known issue with certain builds of Win 10 Beta. The OS reports it is Windows 8, not Windows 10. I guess Microsoft is coming up with yet another special get version call for Windows 10

Solaris17the Windows pre-installed drivers. I guess your post answered my question their are not. At least GPU-Z will work when AMD releases a package for WDDM 2
Actually WU installs fully fledged Catalyst 15.20... and as you see WDDM 2.0 WHQL and I am glad they fixed something, the sucker doesn't switch off full RGB output after few seconds as omega did for my projector. There is nothing missing. And it is build 10036. And about the NT6.x/NT10 naming scheme it just normal for a beta product for a while, I guess they haven't decided it for themselves and wish not to break things for a while.

Just use...

reg query "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "ProductName"
or
cmd /c ver

Why not added preliminary support for AMD Radeon R9 390X and 390?

Almost everything is known about the card.

How exactly do you believe an update to DirectX above version 9 is done?

Nope, that's a serious question. There are NO updates available for any DirectX version above 9. In fact, there is just one, and that's from June 2010. The guy is using Windows 10 Preview, so there's nothing to update.

Because recently they do it for many cards.
Because you don't know when the next-version GPU-Z will be released. It might be not that soon and time will pass quite quickly.
Because we need this support for GPU-Z screenshots in some future leaks.
Because of respect to the brand.

Did you use anything past win95? Windows does not ship with full Dircect X libraries and dll set, never had actually. Check and then shout.

I don't like your attitude. Tune it down.
Please link me to an official installer for DirectX 10 and 11. I'd like to see that. DirectX is part of the OS. There's no mention anywhere I can find about the libraries being just partial.

The DirectX installer been always the same for years... and it does not ship with fully windows. And drop the numbers. Learn to read.

Your attitude and demanding is questionable now...
  • The DirectX end-user installation includes the D3DX, HLSL Compiler, XInput, XAudio, and Managed DirectX 1.1 components.
  • Note that the DirectX Runtime (Direct3D, DirectInput, DirectSound) is not part of this package as it is included as part of the Windows operating system, and therefore cannot be installed or uninstalled. Updating the DirectX Runtime is achieved by installing the latest Service Pack or obtaining a newer version of Windows.

The installer is from 2010. So yes, it's the same, and as far as I know, it installs DirectX 9.0c libraries.
I won't waste anymore time trying to "discuss" stuff with you when all you are capable of are borderline insults and arrogant hostility.

Then why did you ask such a ridiculous question? The renderer misses a needed DLL, that comes from the install? Your further assumptions come from nowhere and if you cannot read properly and start to mix in DirectX Runtime versions.

GPU-Z render test uses DirectX 9 therefore it needs DirectX 9 binaries. I don't know if it will be helpful to you though.

Also, children, please behave.
