When you purchase an expensive piece of hardware, you would want to know how to detect that it is here. And this is what the new GPU-Z program from TechPowerUp does. Moreover, it also detects the 16-pin 12VHPWR adapter the way it behaves, which might be handy, given the situation around Nvidia’s adapter that is provided along with some of the best graphics cards. 

The new GPU-Z version 2.51.0 can observe the availability of Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 in the system, and whatever is significant for the lucky owners of the best graphics cards for gaming, the sensor behind the 16-pin 12VHPWR connector. Now, the software won’t tell you if you plugged the adapter firmly and properly, but what it is supposed to reveal is power distribution over various phases of your voltage regulating module. 

This might be handy for enthusiasts and overclockers, which are the audience of the GPU-Z application.
