Anyone using rivatuner for monitoring?

I was using rivatuner for hdd/cpu/gpu temps while in games before I did a clean vista install.

But now I can't remember how to make it work in 64-bit.. If I run it, it says it needs to disable driver signing in vista, but if I click YES, the driver signing is still there upon restart. And of course rivatuner can't read my gpu driver if I let driver signing enabled. So are you guys using this in x64, and if so.. how?

**I wanna point out that my old vista install that had rivatuner running fine was also really broken (Unable to install updates, vista SP2, Net framework, office 2007).

 

when you downloaded rivatuner, there should be 2 files, the .exe installer, and a .rtu driver update, have you run the .rtu file?

 

How do I run the .rtu file?

 

Once rivatuner is installed, it should just be a double click, otherwise, look for an updae option in RT and it should ask you to select a file.

 

The same thing happens to me!

Im using Win7 x64 and I gave up on rivatuner and use ntools. Post back your results L4d Groopie and I'll give rivatuner another try.

Btw, when I finished installing rivatuner it told me if I would like to update it and I click yes but it still can't read my driver...

 

I have another problem altogether, Rivatuner won't detect any supported drivers (official 186.03 atm). But I gave up on rivatuner for overclocking and use Nvidia System Tools instead, so it never was an issue...I was curious about my VRAM useage though, and I believe Rivatuner has a VRAM monitor.

 

There isn't any update option I could find that worked, but I ran the .rtu file by selecting rivatuner.exe in the ''windows cannot fin the the program'' thing, and it updated correctly. It now works again . I currently have GPU temps, CPU temps, FPS, CPU clocks, and HDD temps. I've seen one VRAM monitor plugin, but unfortunately it doesn't work under vista, due to videomemory virtualization, sry anothergeek.

I've never used rivatuner to OC my card tho, it never really worked :/. I use nvidia system tools for that.
It still doesn't recognize my driver (186.03).

Anyway thanks theriko, I didn't see anywhere you needed to use the .rtu file before you told me.

 

I just downloaded it now and it found my driver. I use 186.03, but a pop up comes every time I open rivatuner saying they aren't officially supported, please update rivatuner.

EDIT: it turns out they released a new version on 8/19/09 that supports the new nvidia drivers+win7. Its called Rivatuner 2.24b-MSI Master Overclocking Area 2009 edition
