Best tool for GPU monitoring

[lifeblood]

I have a Sapphire 7850 and need some software to monitor temp, etc. Any suggestions?

I can't decide if I want to run two monitors on 1 GPU or buy a second GPU for the second monitor. I use may PC for many different things and didn't want the GPU to always run at 3D clocks even if I'm just typing an email. Then I though about it and decided to see the difference between it driving one versus two monitors. If it has minimal difference then their is no reason to get a second GPU.

Afterburner is the best.

Yes, Afterburner is the number one choice. It's better than EVGA Precision and ASUS GPU Tweak. Look nowhere else than MSI Afterburner.

Afterburner is my preference. Its awesome to run the server and monitor things from my phone or tablet while running eyefinity.

EVGA PrecisionX doesn't work on AMD cards as far as I know so it's out of the running.

Afterburner has the same monitoring tools as PrecisionX though.

Since Rivatuner has been put to pasture(I miss ye), Afterburner(based off of RT) is the best I can find for my 7970.

I personally, fancy GPU-Z. Nice & simple, with ability to write log files.

A little off topic, but better than a new thread:

Is there a modification you can make to increase font size on precision X? I sit about 8 feet away from a 60" led tv and really have to squint to see the graphs (which is the most important element of the software). I know you can increase the dpi through windows settings, but then the menu gets chopped and you can only see the initial left tab, and cannot scroll through them. I kid you not, the font size looks like 4 when I view it from my recliner.

Any advice?
