atMonitor not showing gpu load and temp

[pcmxa]

Hi,

I am just wondering if others out there are having this issue. I can't see my gpu load or temp in atMonitor. AtMonitor shows my vram load but not the other settings. I was trying to get a sense of how taxed it was under a Maya Render and am now wondering if this is normal or perhaps an issue (minor) with my machine.

I am running a Mac Pro 5,1 quad Core with 8 gigs of ram and a ATI 5770 using 10.6.7.

Thanks

what renderer are you using? maya uses the CPU for rendering, not the GPU.

Good to know (I am new to Maya). I am using the mental ray plug-in in Maya. Still curious to whether it is normal for the 5770 gpu not to be registering in atMonitor. It shows no load (and a temp of 0) even with games (Call of Duty, Bioshock), or movies.

Is my video card supported ?
atMonitor uses Apple's own framework for accessing GPU sensors, so it will support only those video cards that Apple itself supports. If Apple's own "OpenGL Monitor" does not show you the correct information, neither will atMonitor.

Personally I've never seen atMonitor's GPU monitor work, it always showed 0%.
