dedicated gpu not working

[ouroborosc7]

compared to the previous one which i used the present version doesn't detect my gpu even when configured according to the index value shown in the notepad. and in addition to it some of the values are missing when compared to shared memory viewer

Let me know what version of the Gadgets you are using and also what version of HWiNFO. Also, you posted multiple screenshots of the Shared Memory Viewer; this application is no longer needed or used unless you are using an older version of the Gadgets. The only application you need now is HWiNFO itself.

I can't tell much from the screenshots you sent, but it looks like your GPU Meter configuration is completely messed up. Why are so many GPU 1 sensor indexes left blank? This is your nVidia card, so you need to fill these out properly. It looks like you have a second GPU Meter showing something. What is this? It looks like it's got CPU info instead of GPU info, or some mixture of both? Please follow the all instructions listed at the top of the HWiNFO.inc file exactly.

If you still have trouble, please post your HWiNFO.inc file and HWiNFOIndexList.txt files here.

By the way, selecting all sensors in HWiNFO for gadget reporting is going to impact your system performance a noticeable amount. I'd suggest removing unused sensors unless you use other skins that require them. You do not need to select any disk drive or network card sensors, for example. But this is up to you...

(Also, you do not need to take screenshots with a cellphone. Just press Win-Shift-S to grab sections of the desktop or the active window. PrintScreen (for the desktop) or Alt-PrintScreen (for the active window) work too. This will place the picture on the clipboard, which you can save to a file. If you are posting the HWiNFO index list report or the HWiNFO variables files, just attach them as text files instead of screenshots, as they will be complete and easier to read.)

HWiNFOIndexList.txt hwinfo.txt

the index list changes every time i open it. version of hwinfo that i use is 7.26-4800

as this does not support the uploading of hwinfo.inc file i have uploaded it as a .txt file

Are you SURE the index list is changing every time you open it? The list WILL change anytime you add or remove a sensor from the list on the HWiNFO screen, but if you are not making any changes, then the index list should be stable. If it is not stable, that could be a bug in HWiNFO (this was specifically fixed by Martin -- the HWiNFO developer -- for v7.02, which is the earliest version that works properly with Rainmeter). Perhaps after making sensor changes, exit HWiNFO and restart it to ensure that it is not going to reorder anything (I have not needed to do this, but perhaps it will help you).

For the HWiNFO.inc configuration you sent, this is a mess. First, the GPU Meter is not going to be able to show you much useful info about the integrated (Intel) GPU. This is because this GPU itself does not provide hardly any sensor data that HWiNFO can report on and the Gadget can use. The sensors you have picked for core load, memory allocation, etc., are not going to give you correct values, as these are reporting only Direct3D data, not the memory used for non-3D graphics. It is probably best to just ignore this GPU and report only on your nVidia GPU.

For your nVidia GPU (which is GPU1), you have not selected any sensors except for the memory allocated. (Your core load sensor is probably not correct.) You need to select the sensors for all the other items (especially the temperature), otherwise you will not see anything. Once you have the sensors showing in the index list, you can finish configuring the HWiNFO.inc file.

Let me know if you are still having issues.

gpu 1 still not working even after configuration

[ouroborosc7]

network meter pro doesn't show any bandwidth data but it shows in normal network meter

[SilverAzide]

OK, it looks like your GPU Meter (1) isn't showing anything because it is not active. If you look at your sensor list (the one you attached), all the values are zero, which means it isn't active. This is typical when using a laptop where the dedicated GPU (dGPU) is used only at certain times (like when gaming), and the integrated GPU (iGPU) is used the rest of the time to save battery. Some laptops allow you to force the dGPU to be active all the time by changing a setting in the BIOS (nVidia calls it "Optimus" I think, and you'd want it turned OFF to force your dGPU to be active all the time. This will kill your battery life, however.) Anyway, it looks like your nVidia card is now configured properly from what I see, so as soon as it becomes active, the GPU Meter should "wake up" and start showing data.

As far as the Network Meter Pro is concerned, did you install the NetMonitor service? This is required for the "Pro" gadgets.

now everything is working fine. as you said the gpu was in standby mode, but hwinfo doesn't report the values when in auto start mode so i have to open it manuallyeach and every time. it would be better if the skin work on its 6.4 version of hwinfo by using instance value

[SilverAzide]

Glad you got it all working! I'm not sure I follow you about the "auto start" mode. HWiNFO 7.x has not changed the way it runs, as far as I know, it is the same a 6.x. I agree it is a little bit difficult to get it to work without being annoying. Check the wiki article, I posted screenshots of the best way to configure HWiNFO. The only difference is you will want to check the "auto start" option.

The problem with 6.42 is that version is old and won't keep working forever. Your only real choices are either pay for 7,x or use the free version of 7.x, and the free version requires a different way of configuring for Rainmeter.
