Not sure if this belongs here or not but since it is about displaying data I thought, why not?
Under Windows over the past 2-3 years a growing number of people incorporate a 7" video screen connected to the video card.
By installing AIDA-64 we are able to access the various elements like CPU usage, Graphic usage, and especially temps.
The difference from other similar monitors is that a mechanism is provided to provide a graphic interface to display that info on. So, instead of crap like Open Hardware Monitor where everything is text and it takes a while for the vision to settle on the numbers you want to check...it is all graphics. So usage is typically two dials with a ring around the outside that increases as usage increases and it is increased in 1/4 increments. The rest is also represented with colors and graphics so that it takes a quick glance at the monitor and you know right away how the system is doing.
However, a picture is worth a thousand words so here is a video that demonstrates what I'm talking about:
So my question is this: has anyone in the world of Linux created software to perform the equal to AIDA-64? Please note I am not looking for the replacement to HWMonitor or CPUID or CPUZ. For the record I use HWMonitor under windows when I want to do something that focuses my total attention to tuning and termperatures. I DO NOT WANT THAT. I am specifically looking for a product that provides the beautiful, modifiable, graphic skin to all those numbers. Do you have any idea how totally simple it is to be playing a game and with a one second glance see that the entire graphic screen is green and nothing is red? Very important when overclocking and game testing that overclock. HWMonitor type applications deal only with the process of WHEN I overclock not WHEN I game to see the results realtime. And, by the way, it is perfectly fine for those in the know just to say nothing like that has every been written. And, also for the record, I've written AIDA asking for a Linux version as well.
