    I remember when using XP I had this overlay that would show you the FPS, GPU/Ram Speeds and most importantly the Temperature of your GFX card. I believe it was called NVtray/NVtweak or somthing like that.

    Is there anything besides fraps that can do that?

    I would to be able to see that data while gaming again.

    "Nv-monitor" shows you that outside of games, it can be acessed through the nvidia control panel. What i think is better though is "hardware monitor". It will record the max temps reached while activated which is alot better than just telling you the current temp. In game all i know of is fraps and a few diagnostic commands specific to certain games, you'll have to look them up :)

    Well I tried a new Version of NVtweak, and it was the program I used. Although with the newer version I don't have that OSD capabilities. Oh well will keep searching and keep everyone updated.
