    I've heard of a thing on here people use to monitor GPU temperatures and FPS, as well as other gaming stuff. Can anyone tell me what it is please?


    Thanks,

    Kolroc =)

    Rivatuner. you can use some plugins to display basically anything you want: temps (CPU, GPU, HDD, system), fps, RAM usage, CPU usage, etc.

    Ive always been a fan of FRAPS to monitor the frames per second and HWmonitor to monitor the temperatures.

    HWMonitor is also nice for monitoring temps.

    I believe rivatuner can display temps while you're in game.

    GPUz can log your temps while in game, just have it minimized. I think EVGA Precision can display the temps in game, but I couldn't get it to work on my laptop.

    Well HWMonitor can monitor your temps while in game, but with rivatuner you get the plus that the temps (and any other usefull info) can be displayed inside the game, just like fraps...
