Nvidia Control Panel plugin (download it here)

Okay, so now i have:

Public Declare Function NvGetData Lib "nvcpl.dll" ( _
ByVal datatype As Integer, ByRef pdwValue As Integer) As Long

system = NvGetData(7, pdwValue)
ds.SetValue("NvControl.nrofgpu", pdwValue)

Still no luck Sad

While messing with their C sample, turns out you need to call NvGetDisplayInfo before NvCplGetDataInt starts working.

Okay, didn't know that. I'll give it a try.

Have you got it to work yet? Have been waiting a long time for SLi support. Post if you figure it out, would make alot of people happy! Very Happy

I'm new here BTW Rolling Eyes

Hang on, still working on it.

Can you help me out again Ray, can't figure out how to call NvGetDisplayInfo Sad

.
Especially the part with the pszUserDisplay, is that an Array?

Sorry to bug you with this btw.

	Parameters In LPCSTR pszUserDisplay -- <device #> [NV device moniker] See “Passing Device Monikers in pszUserDisplay” on page 100 as well as “Device Moniker Version 2 String Format” on page 99.

See the docs that come with it or just look at their sample app and see what they use for that parameter, although you cannot write C you'l have a rather large chance of understanding what a piece of code is doing or trying to do by just looking at it.

Okay, so i think i understand half of it, it should be something like:

system = NvGetDisplayInfo("0", displayinfo)

Where "0" is the device number as string. But displayinfo consists of:
displayinfo.cbsize
displayinfo.dwInputFields1
displayonfo.dwInputFields2

So, can i make an array?

Public Declare Function NvGetDisplayInfo Lib "nvcpl.dll" ( _
ByVal displaynr As String, ByRef deviceinfo As Array)

dim displayinfo(0 to 2) as array
displayinfo(0) = 3
displayinfo(1) = 0x00000001
displayinfo(2) = 0x00000010

Does this make sense?

It doesn't, you should really read up to doing structures and pinvokes i kinda getting the feeling i'm writing the plugin instead of you..

Yeah sorry about that, but thats not my intention. It's just that this pinvoke stuff is a bit more difficult than i am used to do with vba. I think i'll be taking a course in the next couple of month's cause i really like to learn this.

Thanks a lot for this plugin, but i have some problems with it: ambient temp shows always zero. I live in Russia and it sometimes gets really cold here, but now its not the case Smile

GPU temp readings are correct.

I have Nvidia 8800GTS 640Mb

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure, bnut i think the driver you have doesn't support reading the ambient temp. Else it schould work. Tell me which driver you have and i'll have a look. Also you could try Everest.

All other apps are reading temps correctly... i have 158.22 en whql driver installed.
i dont really like idea of having everest running in background Smile

but i`ll give it a try

Btw: i`m curious if anyone knows what does it means, when from time to time Lcd studio "loses" variables and there are either "Error" or "<variable name>" displayed on my G15 screen instead of data. I use perfcounters, speedfan, nvidia plugins. This never happens to speedfan values but with perfcounters almost everyday :\

Thanks

Everest itself does not show amb temp too. But RivaTuner does.
I can not load Everest plugin (nothing happens when i click checkbox for this plugin), but i think i will clear this in related topic Smile

PS: may be my Lcd studio installation got corrupted? never had such problems before...
