    The ATI HD 5870 DOES show up in it. I don't know of anyone that it does not, except...you?

    I was not able to view my 5870 with the HWMonitor.... I was able to use HWinfo32 which is shown in the previous post.

    HWinfo32 will do the job nicely. Everest might be fine as well but it doesn't show the max readings (last time I checked).

    It won't show up until you updated the graphics card driver, same problem for me as well, there's no GPU temperature on my 5870 on HWmonitor until I've installed the ATI catalyst 10.3 beta driver.

    BTW, the 10.3 is finally released and you can move away from beta.

    Hey I have the same Problem with HWmonitor. I tried to update the ATI driver to 10.3 Final and after the Windows Boot logo it stopped to boot ? I used the drivers from my reseller before. Anyone else with this problem ?

    Any difference using 10.3?
    Is performance better?
    Anything?

    10.3a is actually the performance driver. The official 10.3 is a bit older due to whql testing. 10.4 official should have the performance enhancements from 10.3a.
