Hi,

I have an interesting GPU that's not fully supported by current GPU-Z version. I'm speaking about AMD Embedded E8860 GPU (in MXM-A form factor, in particular).

The GPU-Z doesn't show full info, and it refuses to download the BIOS for some reasons.
I'm attaching the screenshots of GPU-Z and the BIOS in the .zip, in order to be uploaded to TPU database, if possible.

(The driver version on the screenshot is 14.12, but the newer 16.3 didn't change anything. The BIOS was downloaded with AIDA64).

Does the attached GPU-Z version work better?

Well, it's definitely better. :clap:
The only question is the GPU Codename - should it be Cape Verde or Venus? In fact it's the same die, I know, but still...

The BIOS is now downloaded properly, with UEFI sub-block. It's okay too.

The new screenshots:

I'm leaning toward Cape Verde, trying to avoid using AMD rebranded GPU names whereever possible.

Okay, let it be Cape Verde, I don't mind.

Well, VERY quick response, and all is fixed already, I'm impressed :toast:

Maybe you already have a solution for 8GB VRAM load reporting issue by the chance...? :rolleyes:

Haven't had time to look into that yet. Just came back a few hours ago, but thanks for reminding!
