Can't make a GPU Tach
Posted: August 16th, 2017, 4:24 pm
I edited a wifi skin recently and i replaced the images and the formula to try and replicate some current AMD cards where they have a visual indicator on the card itself regarding activity, i used this for my core 2 duo pc, so 1 tach for each core.

It is working fine as a rainmeter skin and i can even provide the config i used incase anyone wan't to do anything with it.~
(note that i'm not including the images 0 to 15 here)
Now, i wanted to do the exact same thing for the gpu.
I use a modified skin that is fragmented into many skins, enabling me to move individual components (like activity, temp or frequencies), they all come from the base config, i just edit ou the things i don't need.
So, let's see the original skin and the files it uses
Config.ini
Measures.ini
Meters.ini
gpu1.ini
Now most of it is just text placement, the size and whatnot.
My goal is to make a gpu tach by reading the activity of the gpu, for some reason it always displays image 0.png as if no activity is registered, what am i missing?
This is my gpu1.ini, i do not call the other ini files since i don't think i need them.
