    Are there any system monitoring software sort of like HWinfo32 that shows GPU/CPU temp and usage, with the ability of displaying that info ingame?

    Thanks.

    I don't think there are any that will stay scene when you go full screen. You can put it on the side and run a game in windowed mode at lower res if seeing temps is really a problem

    Just log the data. Trying to get programs to overlay on top of games is a real PITA.

    This tool will monitor the GPU for you whilst in game and shows an overlay of GPU clocks, temperature etc. You will need to play around a bit to set it up.
