As my specs say, I am running a mediocre eVGA GTX260 with the software eVGA Precision Tool. This program works great in keeping an eye on my GPU temps. Before you recommend any of other programs that monitor this and many more components, that will not be necessary. The front of my case has a digital temp monitoring display BUT the videocard is the only thing that does not work on the display device temp monitoring thingy.
Toms Hardware has an article on the new nvidia drivers and how it dramatically improves performance on many mainstraim games (oct 5/09):

Naturally, I downloaded it. Unfortunately, my temperature option is completely gone from the eVGA Precision tool. Windows 7, I downloaded the latest eVGA Precision 1.8 and power cycled my PC after I noticed the defect to attempt to correct it (just in case you ask). I am not some idiot doing this shit. It just disappeared. I've had this same instance of windows running since yesterday, 0 restarts. It was working fine this morning while I was blowing up Denmark in Empire Total War. I know, i'm a nerd.
Please help!
