This skin uses the HWiNFO application and Rainmeter plugin to monitor information about your graphics card / GPU.
I have this configured for my card, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti, but it can be altered to match the sensors for your card.
Get the HWiNFO application here:
https://www.hwinfo.com/
The Rainmeter plugin will be installed by the .rmskin.
Right-click the skin to open the HWiNFO "Shared Memory Viewer", where you can get the values for the sensors for your system, and put them in HWiNFOVariables.inc.
Version 1.2 changes some cosmetics and automatically gets the card name.
Version 1.1 corrects an error in calculating the Bar gradients.

Re: HWiNFO GPU Skin
This has never worked for me. Any gpu plugin has never worked for me.
I have hwinfo v7.00 running with shared memory and rainmeter running as admin.
When I click "view Hwinfo sensors" in your skin it says "failed to connect to hwinfo", but hwinfo is running.
Even if it worked I don't understand why it does not use the nvidia dll's instead of having to keep a 3rd party app running on background.

Be sure you have Shared Memory Support checked in the Settings dialog in order to use the old Shared Memory / Plugin approach.tsumihoroboshi wrote: ↑March 28th, 2021, 2:01 pm This has never worked for me. Any gpu plugin has never worked for me.

I don't particularly recommend that however. I think you might want to see this:

Re: HWiNFO GPU Skin

Re: HWiNFO GPU Skin
jsmorley you seem to be a walking rainmeter knowledge machine and I love this skin so I updated it to accommodate HWiNFO 7.x.
