I just got my BFG 8800GTX OC 756mb video card and i'm wondering where I can check the gpu temp at? I go into the nvidia display settings and don't see anything about temperature. I've used ati in the past many times so where am I missing this setting?

Thanks.

You can still use (ati-tool) if you like.

You could also download nvidiamonitor off the web. If you have an Nvida chipset it'll give you all your motherboard data also.

Nvidia Monitor looks like a cpu temp reading program and ati tool I can't find the gpu temp anywhere as well as with riva tuner. Where the heck is the gpu temp?

According to Nvidia, NTune has a GPU temp monitor. http://www.nvidia.com/object/sysutility.html

Open Nvidiamonitor. It will display CPU, MB temps. Down in the lower right hand corner there is a button with an arrow on it, click it. Voila! GPU temps. You're welcome!
