Hi,
My system specs are as follows: QUOTE Processor : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz Motherboard: nVidia 650i Ultra RAM : 2 GB GfxCard : XFX 8600 GT (512 MB) Problem is all of my nVidia component are now managed by a single Control panel - nVidia Control panel and it doesn't show any tab for graphic's card temperature. I want to know the temperature of my graphics card. does any body know any software for this ?? or at least a work around ? thanks

what window system do you have is it xp or vesta cause vista has a download for it. you may be able to go to nvidia and downloas it also. Some times its on the cd that your grapics caed came with. You may also have to go into your bios to veiw it also.

OOH interesting bit of information magic thanks, and for a link to that control panel is here, I recommend doing the automatic searching that way you can find the appropriate driver update. After you install, restart your computer, nvidia control panel will be in your task bar, and then all you have to do is click on it and there is your control panel.

WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL Thanks Saint Michael but i am already running the latest version of the Graphics Drivers. Problem is , but I can't find any option for the graphics card's temperature monitor. the Nvidia control panel shows a temperature option , but thats for the CPU cores I think I would need a separate software to monitor that. @ Magic I am running Win XP. and I am not lame. May be you didn't understand the question. Please don't post just for the sake of posting. |

Temp monitor.
Can Anyone Help Me With My Graphic Card - 8600 Gt Replying to bluedragon If you have nvidias latest drivers and control panel (169.21forceware is setup file from nvidia), under 3D settings tab is Monitor Temperature settings tab. Open monitor temp sets. If you haven't done this before it will prompt you to d/l nvidias nTune software. D/l it and install. NTune creates a Performance tab in nVidia control panel. Under performance tab is Launch NVMonitor. Launch NVMonitor. This panel has a button in the lower right corner. Click that button and the panel doubles in size. The second half contains CPU and GPU temps (maybe not cpu if you don't have nvidia motherboard) and fan RPMs. -reply by hy_def |

Well I finally found the nTune software by itself, and I would download it and install and see if it picks up anything. It is funny that I didn't try to google this the first time I posted
 , well here is the link and enjoy.http://www.nvidia.com/object/ntune_5.05.54.00.html |

Yea for overclocking and checking your fan speeds as well as the core's GPU temperature definetly use N-tune, it wont let you down. O and btw dont overclock your GPU unless you know exactly what you're doing, also make sure you have optimal airflow.
