HWiNFO Adds Per-Chip VRAM Temp Monitoring for AMD Navi and NVIDIA GPUs

Hardware monitoring tools need to keep pace with faster memory modules, and HWiNFO is addressing that gap with new sensor support. This update matters because tracking individual memory chips helps users spot thermal issues that general readings miss. The software developer is preparing changes that expose more granular data for modern graphics cards.

Granular thermal data helps users spot memory issues

The upcoming release focuses on AMD and NVIDIA hardware, specifically targeting high-speed memory types. HWiNFO will add per-chip VRAM temperature monitoring for AMD Navi GPUs. The same changes list includes support for NVIDIA GPUs equipped with GDDR6X or GDDR7 memory.

• New Feature: Per-chip VRAM temperature monitoring for AMD Navi GPUs
• New Feature: Per-chip VRAM temperature monitoring for NVIDIA GPUs with GDDR6X or GDDR7
• New Feature: GPU hotspot reporting for NVIDIA Blackwell graphics cards
• New Hardware Support: Radeon RX 9060 XT LP
• New Hardware Support: Radeon RX 9050

These new sensors report temperatures from individual GDDR6 packages rather than providing a single general memory reading. This level of detail allows for more precise thermal management during heavy workloads. The update also adds GPU hotspot reporting for NVIDIA Blackwell graphics cards to track core temperatures more accurately.

HWiNFO is expanding its hardware database to recognize newer Radeon models. The upcoming update adds recognition for the Radeon RX 9060 XT LP. It also adds support for the Radeon RX 9050. These additions ensure the monitoring tool can read data from the latest AMD hardware.

HWiNFO has not confirmed which specific Radeon generations will expose the additional sensors. The changelog refers broadly to AMD Navi GPUs without listing exact model numbers. The developer has not assigned the feature to a specific release date yet. We looked at NVIDIA RTX 50 SUPER Delayed as earlier while tracking Hwinfo launches.
