# GPU-Z 2.71.0 Adds RTX 50 Hotspot Sensor Support

September 23, 2026 at 10:28 AM

> TechPowerUp updates GPU-Z with RTX 50 thermal monitoring, new bandwidth sensors, and fixes for Intel and Qualcomm hardware.

TechPowerUp released **GPU-Z** version 2.71.0 on September 22, 2026, introducing support for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 hotspot thermal sensor. The update adds support for the RTX 5060, RTX 4070 10 GB, and various Intel Panther Lake and Lunar Lake processors.

Users can now monitor the hottest memory chip temperature and view all chip thermals via a new tooltip. The release adds an advanced tab for NVIDIA GPUs reporting XBAR, SYS, and video clocks, alongside a new sensor for PCI-Express bandwidth throughput in GB/s.

This update addresses critical bugs, fixing LPDDR5X detection on Intel Meteor Lake and Arrow Lake while correcting memory bandwidth reporting on DDR5 systems. It also resolves transistor counts for the GP102 and unit counts for the Qualcomm Adreno 726 GPU.
