6800XT Sensors missing

Hi, I upgraded from a 5700 to a 6800 and moved from Win 10 to Win 11 at the same time.
Not sure if it's a bug from from Win 11, if GPU-Z needs more time to add these features or a problem on my side but I noticed some important data missing :

- UVD Clock (very useful to see the frequency and workload of the encoding/decoding chip)
- Memory Temperature
- Memory Voltage
- VRM1,2,3 temperatures

These info saved my 5700 TUF to burn and I am very thankful for this
But now I cant launch a game anymore with total peace of mind without knowing these temp..
Do you think the info reported by GPU-Z on my system are normal?

* Screenshot of main tab is missing? :confused:

* What AMD Radeon drivers version are you on?
Try updating to latest Nov 2021 drivers, if not already using that. :)

Nothing to do with drivers, my sensors tab looks the same. If I had to guess, those values aren't reported or are handled differently on the on the 6000 series.
 
well, dunno about the rest (I'll check my RX 6800XT in Win 10), but 6800XT and or any of the 6000 series dont have VRAM temperature sensors.
 
It probably has to do with the ABI BIOS/board build. I had two Vega 56s and one didn't have all the same sensor readings as the other showing up in GPU-Z.
 
Yeah it's normal. GPU-Z is using AMD's API now for sensors on newer GPUs and AMD's marketing team has decided to remove certain sensors. HWiNFO works around this, even though AMD has asked everyone to please not do that.

Why would they want to hide the sensors and the data like that though?

I'm glad someone makes the tool that shows people what's going on with their cards. AMD's policy doesn't apply.

Disagree. Websites of such tools should be taken down forever (or at least, until they comply) for not complying with industry standard AMD recommendations.
Nobody benefits when someone does not follow rules.

Look like the marketing department strike again
Maybe it have to do with some third-party manufacturers downgrading there image with badly designed coolers doomed to kill the GPU out of the box.

But i don't see how trying hide it it could fix the problem..

Double-check with HWiNFO
Thank you, it helped

All temps seems correct, i don't know why they want to hide this, they are even below the previous gen.

But i don't see which line report the utilization percentage of VCE
Maybe this data couldn't be monitored at all?
