Is there a program which measures the temp of the vid card while in game?

[Therk]

I am curious of what temps my 9600 XT reaches while I game but I cannot get the precise temperature while in game since I have to alt tab out, open CC etc and the temp settles by then. If it matters, it idles 32 - 34 C.

Use riva tuner "http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/"" theres a option which you can record a temperature log.

thanks but i got one problem:

It does not show temperature, but it shows memory/core clocks, framerate and CPU clock.

2 monitors ftw

I went to setup but I still couldn't find the temperature monitor option.

What step is exactly the problem?
I wrote those instructions a long time ago. May be I need to update them. But, before doing that, please tell me which step in the instructions is not working.

the instructions are fine but on the monitoring graphs there is no TEMPERATURE monitoring option.

ATI Tray Tools has an on OSD that can show temps while gaming. For ATI cards, anyway.

^ that worked, thanks

I'm sorry I missed that you had an ATI card. I thought it was an NVIDIA card!

^ heh no worries.

Anyways, I got a max temperature of 48.5 in a full 3dmark03 run, is this alright for a 9600 XT?
