FinalWire AIDA64 has rolled out version 8.30 of its PC diagnostics utility. This release adds real-time monitoring and even preliminary support for hardware that hasn't hit the market yet — an odd mix of current tools and forward-looking tweaks.
The headline feature is the AIDA FPS module. It monitors frame rates live, runs on Windows 10 and 11 (OS compatibility is explicit), and works with DirectX 11 and DirectX 12. Overhead is reported as minimal; in practice it can auto-detect the heaviest-running app and either overlay FPS on top of the game or write the results to a log (e.g., for later analysis).
There’s also early support for upcoming Intel silicon: Nova Lake and the Diamond Rapids server family are on the list. Alongside that, AIDA64 8.30 brings in a new SHA3 benchmark optimized for modern APX instructions — useful if you care about crypto workloads or microarchitectural tuning.
AMD hardware gets attention too. The build adds support for hybrid Zen 6-based chips (codename Medusa), expected to appear in the next-gen Ryzen AI line. It’s clearly early-stage support, i.e., not everything will be fully covered yet, but it signals where things are headed.
Other tweaks: compatibility with AMD EXPO 1.2 memory OC profiles was added, and the device database grew to include new Intel Arc Pro professional GPUs as well as NVIDIA server products based on Blackwell. If you’re tracking CPU/GPU; memory profiles; or server-class accelerators, those entries might matter.
