This is often, unfortunately not. A direct hardware access, as it use GPU-Z, Everest, etc. in order to get their information will not be given for this gadget.
The maintenance requirements for such a solution, each chip generation and performance of each class with each other some more components on the PCB board of each partner is just too huge and not for lack of test hardware to implement. All adjustments, I may increase the compatibility of a certain noble effort-frame will not break easily.
All the information in which all or not sufficiently present, I can unfortunately only alternative put off gadget, as for example available for RivaTuner, Everest and soon also for GPU-Z.
