Hi Guys, need your expertise here. I installed the newest driver for my GPU, on my AMD rig, (see sig.), NVidia driver #163.75, everthing seems to be running fine, however the old driver #94.24, allowed me to monitor the GPU Temp., the new version says it is a "preformance" feature and I have to download and install "Ntune" to have this feature, the download looks like it carries a lot of extras with it, what are your thoughts please.

Thanks

Joe

In short, NTune does allow you to monitor temps...but it's pretty clumsy. If you don't mind dropping $30 for a decent piece of monitoring software, Everest Ultimate by Lavalys is a really nice package. Available here: http://www.lavalys.com

speaking of 163 drivers. I dled those a couple months ago to play bioshock but COH is reporting that they are old drivers? My guess was that the drivers were still new and not supported yet but i'm still getting the old driver message. What's the deal with that? Is COH just slow in getting driver support or is there something else going on?

sorry bout the hijack

Arlie, I have the "free" version of Everest installed, forgot about that, when I checked just now it does have the GPU temp monitor - so I guess I'm all set, being a "passive" card I like to check on it once in a while :-)))

Ntune just looked like it had way too much baggage -

Thanks for the help

Joe

( grim22x7, no problem with the hijack )

moot now. it appears that the problem is no longer a problem. error message is gone...must have fixed that bit with the la-*test*-('") patch.

You might want to look at NvTempLogger from 3Dguru. On screen display (defaults to the warmest card for SLI setups) and graphical logging (like SpeedFan).

FWIW...SpeedFan will continue logging through a sleep cycle.
