Title: GPUPower - see how much power your gpus are using * nvidia only!
Post by: nvmaxx on July 31, 2017, 03:38:51 AM
Created a tool to read the total wattage use from the GPU's only, also can calculate cost per day and per month on the video card usage.

No it does not work on AMD, Nvidia only! it only takes into account the gpu's not motherboard and processor.  best option to find out what
your total watt usage is, is to get a plug in meter, though this tool is just a good estimation for those trying to see how much their GPU's
will take from the PSU as well.

This uses Nvidia's SMI utility that is it! nothing more nothing less, does not connect to anything internet wise or other application wise.
It reads the average watt usage per card and poll's every 3 seconds.

if a mod wants to see the source code I can provide this, just message me and I will make it available.

I do plan on adding to this tool more features in the future so I would ask the mods to keep it confidential as well.

BEFORE any new users click that link I would wait for some old timers to verify that link's contents. Would be great to catch a nice wallet trojan just in time for the hard fork.

No offense to the OP, but posts from a brand new user offering a new program should always be highly suspect until proven otherwise. Do your due diligence.

Software for monitoring power usage is not that accurate anyway. Use a kill-a-watt device that you plug your rig into. Much more accurate and can also keep track of cost etc.

100% agree as I said before the mods are welcome to look at the source code.  I would be suspicious of newbies as well.
