    Hey guys, so I'm working on modifing a rainmeter code that I found for GPUs for my notebook. Anyhow I need some help. I have HWInfo installed and running but can't get this to work.

    Below is the code that I have working for my first GPU. I figured that by changing every reference to "GPU0" to "GPU1" this would work easy enough. This way I can load one as GPU0 and another meter as GPU1. The code for the working GPU meter is below. How would I edit it to enable monitoring of my slave GPU?

    Code:

    Disregard, I figured it out. Will post a copy of my rainmeter desktop when I make more progress on it. :-D

    Would you like to share with me what you did to make it show the second GPU or did you only change GPU0 to GPU1?

    UPDATE:
    I figured how to do it, but at first it was only detecting 1 gpu even if i switch the name. so i had to add it into the sensor document i had
