GPU Observer Gadget

It can show temperatures, fan speeds, loads, memory usage and clock speed to help you keep an eye out for overheating or faulty graphic cards. You can even run several instances of the gadget if you have got more than one graphic card.

This is my personal favorite of all the windows 7 gadgets I’ve tested, so try it out yourself!

The back-end of this win7 gadget uses technology like nTune, NVAPI and ATIADL to determine GPU information.

Pretty solid I really like the interface and options, if you guys could make a all in one with CPU loads and temps you will have a hot seller!

i dno if anyone else is having this problem. but my gadget doesnt seem to read the temperature of my hd 4870 mobility crossfire. all it shows is 0 degs celcius all the time even when its obviously hotter than that. specialy because i run crysis warhead. im pretty sure it gets hotter than 0 degs. does this even work with my graphics cards? its also not registering fan speed % does this work with crossfire x?

i get the same 0 degs/no fan speed problem, even though it recognised my card straight away (ATI HD 3200). i wonder if this is a laptop problem… :(

I like this software, but I use windows in a virtual machine (parallels 5). It says GPU not found. How can I trick it in order to recognize my GPU? Thank you in advance!

I love the idea, but it keeps crashing for me while in games. Using a Radeon 4870, latest drivers, Windows 7 x64.

Dose not even pick up my card…. I have all the other gadgets from this guy like Drive Meter, CPU Usage, and Network Meter. I really like them and they work great but this one just dose not work for me for some reason.
