    Use HWInfo32 to see the ATI temps. Make sure you have the latest version

    Nothing else has been found to work

    All these other programs listed abound can read my gpu temp , but even hwmonitor pro cannot read the my gpu temp and they want to charge you money for it, they need to get their act together my thinks.

    Cool so its not just me lol

    I have been Loyal User of HWMonitor CPUID Program for so long i thought for sure is was a "Hardware Thing"


    Just did not think that the ATI 4850 was that "New"

    Guess i just need Patience's and Wait for Update for HWMonitor CPUID :)
