Use GPU-Z to Check ROPs. Not CPU-Z
Is GPU-Z firmware or software and is it safe?
I missed GPU-Z on Linux, so I built an open-source alternative: GPU-T. Supports AMD GPUs (for now). Thoughts?
Where can I download CPU and GPU-Z?

CPU-Z recently added this functionality but if you have an iGPU on your CPU, it might be showing 4 ROPs which is what your iGPU has in the Discrete GPU section.
As title states, this is probably the dumbest question or one of the dumbest questions you've ever seen. Just curious about GPU-Z as I've heard that people in the past had GPU-Z modify their bios or GPU or something and even causing a lock up,BSOD, or even installing a bunch of unwanted programs. I'm having difficulties differentiating firmware and software and want to know more about my GPU and GPU-Z seems relatively easy to navigate and use. I'm probably just being paranoid as I am a noob PC builder, but for those that have used GPU-Z / use GPU-Z did it do anything harmful to your computer or is it just a normal software like CPU-Z.
Hi everyone! I'd like to share with you my new Linux-only tool: GPU-T, which mimics the original GPU-Z. It's an early version right now and works only for AMD GPUs, but I plan to add support for NVIDIA GPUs in the future.
If you want to test the tool yourself (early version - work in progress!) - you can grab the source/binary here:
https://github.com/lseurttyuu/GPU-T
The app is written in .NET/Avalonia and shipped as an AppImage (simply download, grant execute permissions, and run).
It should work on most modern Linux distros. Let me know what you think about it - is this something you'd like to see developed further?
I need to see more details about my graphics cards.

What do we have on Linux?
GPU-Z is on basically every gaming PC on earth. TechPowerUp makes it. they also make Sapphire TRIXX. What I found is insane...
both ship TRIXX.sys. IOCTL 0x800060C4 calls HalSetBusDataByOffset with user-controlled bus, device, function, and offset. any local process. no admin.
reprogram any PCI BAR to any physical address. map it. arbitrary physical memory r/W from ring 3.
a GPU info tool with the keys to your entire system. EV cert. valid through April 2028.
