Title: GPU Monitor
Post by: Freddy on July 06, 2015, 20:29:43 PM
It was so long since I installed W7 that the old side gadget has disappeared from the web.

I found this new one which I really like.

Thought others might find it useful too.

I like  :thumbsup:

I've been using http://www.radeonpro.info/ (http://www.radeonpro.info/) for a while now, it has a very handy OSD that can show much of that information on screen in game.

I think I tried that at one time. I'm only using the main display for games atm, so I just pop all those gadgets on a side monitor.

You mean the gadgets wont work I am thinking ? If so yes that's a shame.

Yes, no gadgets in Windows 10  :(

Really they were not wise to remove something so popular. I suppose there will be similar apps in the app store.

Or you could use something like this :

Data, let me know if you install RadeonPro on 10 please.

I have Radeon Pro installed in 10, not done much with it yet but It looks like it works, so far.

Cool, I'll try that tomorrow then. I got my gadgets back :)

I'm installing Daz Studio atm to see what these 6 cores can do  8)

What did you use to get the gadgets back ?

I used this - just the same as it was in 7 : http://gadgetsrevived.com/download-sidebar/ (http://gadgetsrevived.com/download-sidebar/)

Thanks for that, got all my win 7 gadgets back.  :thumbsup:

For me it does slow the boot time down a bit, it doesn't bother me but I can notice it.

Yep I thought it was booting a little slower, it's still fine though. In normal use I usually only boot up in the morning while I am feeding the fish, after that it's on for the rest of the day.

So it looks like Freddy has a hex going for him, well good luck with it.

Thanks Carl. It's very fast, I have it overclocked to 4GHz - this is the first time I have tried overclocking and so far it's very good. I had to get a cooler because these chips do not come with a stock fan like the older Intels - so I went for liquid cooling. I can see what all the fuss was about now.

  Sounds really great Freddy,  liquid cooled should keep some of the dust out.  It should be useful when working with Daz and some of the other
software.  I compared Haptek to Daz and feel Haptek is pretty advanced, it would take a lot of work to get daz to that level but the collision detection is there so you'd have a great character. 
  I'm wondering if the monitor would tell you what's wrong when trying to use the fleshy Haptek characters in win 10.

Bit of a stab in the dark but we know Haptek is only happy on one CPU core.
I haven't used the fleshy character so don't know how it works but it must have some kind of physics engine running for the "bounce", maybe there is a way to set the affinity to one core for the physics.

Data, yes there is a physics hap and you can have that handled by the GPU or the CPU, there is also a car program that can enable only one processor to handle Haptek which allows the haptek player to run smoothly.  In the past, win 7 the fleshy characters would have problems when audio was present,  in fact a new character was introduced without the physics.    I believe when the hap player is started from Hal it is set to one process automatically.   
  I also came across some 3 D glasses that I want to try sometime when there is time.

What sort of 3D glasses Carl ?

I got some blue-red ones a few months back, there's a lot of cool images and videos on the net.

I was reading that MS Hololens is a long way off still, so that's disappointing, I was hoping to see it soon after Windows 10 was released, I thought that had been the plan.
