Why didn`t you say so? Well, now I`m happy. After 5 hours of extreme gaming, my GPU is on 47 C
Let`s see what Crysis has to say about that...

Thibault, you can always upgrade your videocard to a 6800/7800GTX/7900GTX/7950GTX when you want, although they run for about $400-500.

Is this true? I've heard of asus working on some modular laptop video cards, but I doubt it's really taken off.
Personally, I have an asus a8jp (x1700). I was wanting the a8js (gf7700) but it was $500 more for the same computer, sans video card. I have taken a bunch of laptops apart to compare the cards, but could I actually just ebay a mobile 8600 and drop it in?

sorry, most Asus models (as well as other notebooks on the market) can NOT upgrade the videocards.

The Asus A8 series does not have upgradeable videocard modules.

Thibault has Clevo M570U, which can upgrade and swap videocard modules.

Figured I'd stuff my input in this awesome thread .

Used RivaTuner 2.06

Got everything working like you said, but GPU temp was 0C. I went into the Core Temperature Setup and changed the data provider to "NVThermalDiode.dll:0" and it now works perfectly fine. GPU idle at 48C. *turns on fan by Fn+F2* I wonder how low it's going to get if I turn on the fan. Oh wow dropped to 45 already. Suhweet!

I wasn't worried about my GPU temps at all, but it's cool to have something that tells me the temp and framerate. I'll load up Team Fortress 2 some day and see how that works.

Thanks Gophn!

Edit: I found that if I pressed the red spot icon, and if I close it, I can still see my GPU temps in the systray. I don't know if it's going to work with a game, but I'll test that out later. It's 3:30AM here .


-^^ [that was the button I pressed .]

P.S.: 37C now, woo!
