ASUS released GPU Tweak III Beta 2.2.0.1 on September 30, but the update leaves a critical telemetry bug unresolved for owners of Back-Table-Form factor graphics cards. Users relying on the software to monitor power draw on these specific cards will not see accurate current readings after installing this version. The missing data matters because it prevents precise tuning and stability checks for high-end hardware like the ROG Astral RTX 5090 BTF OC Edition.
Missing current telemetry on BTF graphics cards persists in latest update
The utility software targets ASUS ROG graphics cards and motherboards, specifically those utilizing the BTF standard. This update version does not address the BTF Power Detector+ issue that has been affecting users. The software continues to fail at displaying individual current telemetry when the GC-HPWR connector is active on compatible BTF cards.
Hardware monitoring tools like HWiNFO can still read voltage data in BTF mode, which provides some baseline information. However, GPU Tweak III remains unable to display the individual current telemetry required for detailed power analysis. This gap in data prevents users from fully utilizing the software for performance optimization on BTF hardware.
ASUS plans to release a separate upcoming beta version specifically designed to fix the Power Detector+ disappearing issue. This future update will address the telemetry loss on BTF graphics cards. When we covered the last GPU Tweak III update, several of the same balance and stability themes came up, indicating a pattern of iterative fixes for these complex hardware interfaces.
The current beta version 2.2.0.1 ships without a changelog and does not include the pending fix. Users requiring accurate current telemetry for BTF cards should wait for the next beta release. The software remains functional for general monitoring, but specific BTF power data is currently unavailable.
