Vista - a FPS and temp utility?

**Blaydrnnnr** · 09-05-2008

Hi all, just got some games loaded and I used to have ATITray Tools which would let you keep the frame rate and temps in the corner during game play, anything like that for Nvidia? Just ran Quake4 at full specs

and had Nvidia performance control panel turn the fan to 90%... but would like to monitor the temps and frame rates on this and other games. 9800GT 1GB. ( as soon as the new card arrives.... back to ATI tools...)Thanks all....

If it is an eVGA you can get their eVGA Precision Utility....

Precision is a great tool. I use it almost daily. It's my favorite. cuz it's very easy to use, simple, and looks nice.

New card, 4870x2. Still looking at a few things before ordering, MB, coolers..etc.
Thanks for the replies.

Nice, thats a good card. if your looking for a new card, and Motherboard, coolers.. and considering a new CPU. why don't you just return the damn HP you bought to bestbuy or whatever, and build your own new custom.. that will rock. and not limit you.

oh and I still want your CPU.. I'll give you $280 for is cash... lol. then get something else.

LOL.. Dont worry, if the CPU goes.. your on the list...This thing didnt come from Best buy.. you have to order it from HP direct. The MB is still just a thought, would still need the Vista disk...might wait for the XP rig to crap out then go with a new MB. We'll see.
