The NVIDIA System Monitor is a unique 3D presentation of core
component values. For every supported device, a wide range of
information ranging from temperature, frequency, and voltage are
reported. Given the fact that the NVIDIA System Monitor is based around
an OpenGL foundation, there is nearly zero performance overhead
associated with running the utility.
Users can effortlessly navigate through NVIDIA System Monitor by
selecting a particular component in order to view that hardware’s
appropriate information. The selected component comes to the foreground
and all supported information is presented. Should the user prefer an
overhead view of the components in the system, they can utilize the
mouse-wheel to control the angle of the display.
