    I was wondering what gadget you guys/girls use for your gpu gadget? Not the software like Gpuz/MSI Afterburner etc , its the gadget on right of your screen.

    I use the All CPU Meter from Most Wanted Windows Gadgets - Windows Vista and Windows 7 for my CPU & Temps & RAM(temps only if you install Core Temp also, which I do).

    EDIT: Whoops. Didn't notice this was GPU only ><. I guess I'll leave this post here anyway if anyone like me mistakenly comes in looking for a CPU gadget.

    Hey there folks.
    To my knowledge, Download GPU Monitor for Windows 7 free - Windows 7 Download is the best gadget out there, shows total statistic. BUT... as I've read on comments about other similar to this gadget:
