Free Sidebar Gadgets for Windows 11/10/8.1/7 Desktop

TRANSLATE

Dear users. Some time ago, accuweather.com stopped providing data in XML format for the gadget. All of your gadgets are showing an Internet connection error. I'm working on it. Unfortunately, with constant air raids and missile strikes on my city (I live in Ukraine), the work is proceeding extremely slowly and I have no confidence that it will ever be completed. Thanks for understanding.

Can anybody help me to translate few my gadgets to other languages (Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.)? If you’re that person, please call me using the contact form.

GPU Monitor overview

Version 12.9 released at 07/10/2023

GPU Monitor is a handy Windows 11 and Windows 10 sidebar gadget that lets you monitor the most recent stats of your NVIDIA or/and ATI Desktop Graphic Card. It is made especially for the overclockers and gamers. Though GPU Monitor is just a gadget, it provides a good deal of information that you need about Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) installed on your system including Vendor (with icon), Model, GPU, and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Temperatures, Fan speed (% and RPM), GPU, Video Engine and Memory Controller load, Video memory usage, GPU core, shader and GPU memory clock, PCI Express and mode (NVIDIA SLI or ATI Crossfire) if you have more than one GPU. A comprehensive graph is provided to maximize the delivered details such as virtual memory, temperature, and interface.

No third party software is required to display all of this data. Only the newest graphics driver must be installed. GPU Monitor supports most NVIDIA and AMD/ATI video cards. You can also write all data provided by gadgets to log file for easy documentation.

You can easily customize the interface by changing the color, background, and detail of the graphs, if there are multiple GPUs, you can determine which characteristics you want to control, switching between them is done by scrolling the mouse wheel. There are a lot of settings, and if you want to customize everything to your liking, you will have to spend some time on it. GPU Monitor works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
