long story short

Here are links for an excel spreadsheet charting macro for these cards. I would like some help getting it working better. It monitors on board sensors with regards to usage and temperature.

instructions:

1. open gpu-z and click on the sensor tab. enable the log to file checkbox. this file MUST be saved under c:/temp directory. Leave gpuz running.

2. play 5 mins of your favorite game.

3. open the excel macro enabled worksheet. click on the macro that says gpuz_xls_conversion. Things should happen. allow read only access (that should happen if gpuz is running.) Then click on the chartmaker macro.

Thanks anyone for helping. I will be out for a few hours, any feedback is welcome.

Look at the gpu usage chart in comparison with different games and apps. They all seem to have a different impact.

Gpu-z adds to the existing log file so you can have a single chart with several applications tested. It creates about 1MB an hour (est) and excel can handle somewhere upwards of 15 mb of logs from this application.

Have fun!
