Need a 'ATI Tray Tools' type of program for my 8800GTS

[deadken]

I have recently gotten rid of my 1900 XTX (which I liked alot), and am now running a BFG 8800GTS OC (which certainly seems to be good so far). Perhaps the thing I miss the most about the ATI card is the program called ATI Tray Tools. It isn't made by ATI, but it allows you to graph temps, FPS's, core + memory speeds, etc.

I'd really like to be able to see what was happening with my card after a heavy round of gaming. Any suggestions as to what I should use? I do know that I can have the Nvidia drivers chart my temp if I download the 'ntune' program (which I didn't have to install separately for my sons 6600 GT).

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions. If a Mod feels that this should have been asked in the 'Video' forums, please feel free to move it.

ati tool (different from ati tray tools) is also another good program...

Cool! I had used Riva Tuner back when I had my GF2 + GF3. I am pretty sure I used it with my 6800GT also. I don't think I ever used it for anything other then overclocking. I assume that it is pretty straightforward? Or does someone know of a guide to download.

Also, since this 8800 GTS is made by BFG, I am wondering if using Riva Tuner will do anything to void my warranty? I remember seeing that the ATI overclocking tool 'unlocked' the card from it's factory defaults and I am pretty sure that would void the warranty at the same time (it used to even show the date and time that the card was 'unlocked'). Any reason to worry about voiding the warranty even if I just used it to monitor temps, FPS's, and the like?

Thanks for the suggestions!

Vista 64 bit was omitted from their official support list. Only 32 bit vista and with limited feature set. I guess they're working on this...

I ran Riva Tuner on my sons 6600GT (AGP) and perhaps I am looking in the wrong spot, or perhaps less info is given for the 6600's, but I am rather unimpressed.

ATI tray tools was easy and straightforward to use as well as offering a TON of information that was easily customizable.

I'll have to install it on my rig and then tinker with it some more.

Any other suggestions?
