    GPU Desktop Gadget for Nvidia

    Hi again,

    Everything is working well in x64 land and this operating system is awesome to all the Authors out there, great job!

    My first request is a Nvidia based GPU desktop gadget that gives "task manager" or system monitor level of of GPU specific performance levels. Like the CPU I would like to see what is hitting the GPU live. I did look around the net and couldn't find anything listed so it might be a new idea, and those are so rare that someone should do it.

    Next of course is to get Nvidia to add better support for the all the features available on the windows drivers and get the bugs removed for the consumer level products for Linux.

    Looks to me that the 18x.xx version of the driver creates more trouble then it's worth at this point with all the reports, anyone have success running a EVGA 8800GTX using the drivers and x64 KDE 4.2 beta?

    180.18 is working great on a 9600GT here. Over the holidays I set up a sidux system (also based on Debian Sid) on an 8800GTS with 180.18, and that one works fine. I haven't seen nearly as many reports of problems with the 180.x series of drivers as with the 177.x drivers.

    Since this is a user forum, suggestions for new system features would be better directed to wherever the *buntu developers hang out (which isn't often here).

      EnvyNG does support driver installation on 64-bit systems, but it does not include Beta drivers (which the 180.x series is) and it does not provide any kind of GPU "monitor" as described by the OP. It is only for installing the Nvidia and ATI released proprietary drivers.

      FYI, nvidia-settings does have a GPU thermal monitor, but no process monitor, AFAIK.
