GPU-Z Alternatives for Linux
GPU-Z is not available for Linux but there are some alternatives that runs on Linux with similar functionality. The best Linux alternative is CPU-X (by X0rg), which is both free and Open Source. If that doesn't suit you, our users have ranked more than 25 alternatives to GPU-Z and six of them are available for Linux so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. Other interesting Linux alternatives to GPU-Z are Hardinfo (Free, Open Source), Sysinfo (Free, Open Source), hwinfo (Free, Open Source) and CPU Frequency Selector (Free, Open Source).
- CPU-X is a free software that gathers information on CPU, motherboard and more. CPU-X is similar to CPU-Z (Windows), but CPU-X is a Free and Open Source software designed for GNU/Linux; also, it works on *BSD. This software is written in C and built with CMake tool.
- Hardinfo is a system information and benchmark tool for Linux. It shows detailed system info, including hardware, environment, and kernel. It can use lm_sensors and ACPI for temperature and battery information. It also has four CPU banchmarks and two FPU benchmarks.
Discontinued
The project is no longer developed. Last version, 0.5.1, released in April 2009, can be still downloaded from SourceForge.
- sysinfo is a graphical tool that is able to display some hardware and software information about the computer it is run on.

The Sysinfo website is down and Sourceforge reports the last update as being from 2013
- hwinfo/libhd are used to probe for the hardware present in the system. It can be used to generate a system overview log which can be later used for support.
