FinalWire has unveiled the latest iteration of its renowned system diagnostic, benchmarking, and monitoring tool, AIDA64 version 8.30. This update brings a host of enhancements, including the introduction of the AIDA FPS module, which captures real-time frames per second (FPS) data from DirectX 11 and 12 games. Exclusively available in the Extreme edition, this feature operates similarly to established monitoring tools like MSI Afterburner, displaying FPS data across various outputs such as SensorPanel, on-screen display (OSD), tray icons, and logging.
New Features and Improvements
The release of version 8.30 includes a variety of new features and improvements:
- AIDA FPS (available only in AIDA64 Extreme);
- Optimized performance test for APX SHA3 tailored for Intel Diamond Rapids and Nova Lake processors;
- Support for Turing (Turzx) 4.6 and 12.3-inch LCD displays;
- Compatibility with Intel Core Ultra 250K Plus and 270K Plus;
- Enhanced support for Intel Wildcat Lake and Nova Lake processors;
- Preliminary support for AMD APUs based on the Zen 6 architecture;
- Support for Aqua Computer Ampinel and Thermal Grizzly WireView Pro II sensors;
- Extended support for Adaptec RAID controllers;
- USB-NVMe pass-through support for Realtek RTL9220 controllers;
- Support for EXPO 1.2 memory profiles;
- Detailed GPU information for Intel Arc Pro B65 and Arc Pro B70;
- Detailed GPU information for NVIDIA RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell Server Edition.
This version enhances support for Intel’s upcoming Nova Lake CPUs, anticipated to launch later this year. FinalWire has also integrated a new SHA3 benchmark optimized for APX architectures, which encompasses both Intel Diamond Rapids Xeon and Nova Lake Core Ultra processors.
On the AMD front, the update lays the groundwork for initial support of the forthcoming Zen 6 Medusa Point mobile processors, branded as the Ryzen AI 500 series, expected to debut in early 2027. A recent 10-core Zen 6 engineering sample demonstrated performance on par with the current Ryzen AI 9 365, indicating promising advancements.
Additionally, the update introduces support for AMD’s newly launched EXPO 1.2 technology, enhancing compatibility with a wider array of memory profiles, CUDIMM, and other features. EXPO 1.2 serves as a crucial enabler for CUDIMM DDR5 memory, which will be fully supported on Zen 6 and newer AM5 motherboards.
FinalWire is also rolling out a new web-based tool, AIDA64 SensorPanel Tools, empowering users to create image sets that can be seamlessly imported into SensorPanel Manager. Notably, with the release of AIDA64 v8.30, support for 32-bit Windows and Windows XP x64 has been discontinued, necessitating users on those platforms to revert to an earlier version. AIDA64 version 8.30 is now accessible across the Extreme, Engineer, Business, and Network Audit editions.
