Hello

I've just downloaded and installed Realtemp.
It shows me the temperatures of the cores but I can't get it to show me the GPU temperature.
In the settings there exist an nVidia option but I can't tick it, it doesn't change.

My card is nVidia GTX 260 and I'm using Windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks
 
use GPU-Z to tell you the GPU temp, it's a techpowerup application that can be found in the 'our software' section on the home page.

just download and run the GPU-Z exe and go to the 'sensors' tab.
 
Hello
But I'd like to to see all temperatures on the same application
 
hwmonitor will show you every temperature senor your system has at the same time, and pretty much every other sensor too, like voltage, battery % of your laptop etc. it's a great lightweight app.

Put GPU=1 in RealTemp.ini
But is strange that you cannot tick that nVidia box.

That was the first thing I tried but it doesn't work for me.

Have you installed a separate driver for your video card? Or you left the one that came with windows? If yes that might be your problem. You can't see any details about your video card unless you have a proper driver for it. You can find the latest on the nvidia website.
 
It looks like you may need Riva Tuner installed as that seems to be where RealTemp will get its information.
 
have you tried hwmonitor skan? it's well worth the 2 minutes to check it out, and its only an exe so if you dont like it it's easy to delete.
 
Something is not right there. Can you see GPU temps with other programs? GPU-Z, Precision, Afterburner, RivaTuner, Everest, Hardware Monitor, etc.

Nope. RealTemp have a plugin for Riva but it has nothing to do with GPU monitoring. :)
It should work right off the bat.
 
hello
Could it be because it requires directx 9 and I have directx 11 ?
Can I have both directx 9 and directx 11 at once?
 
I've just reinstalled my nVidia drivers and now it works (with directx11)

cheer
 
I cant see GPU TEMP either with the latest version. Had to go back to 3.40 Theres just a string of numbers where GPU temp should be, i uninstalled my Nvidia driver and reinstalled it. but nothing changed. Also added GPU=1 to ini., no good either !!

XP Pro SP3
Quad X9650
P5N-T Deluxe mobo
GTX295.

:confused:
 
"Put GPU=1 in RealTemp.ini

I had the same problem. This fixed it!
 
I also can't tick the GPU checkbox in settings.
I have an ATI Card, driver is installed.
I tried setting GPU=1

any other suggestions?
 
For ATI put GPU=2. :)
 
yep - works now, thx for such a sleek and portable tool - I'm a fan of essential solutions!

Where would you set the alarm for an i5-760 and an ATI Radeon HD5450 (passive cooled)?
