RivaTuner is better, it can log all outputs, its much more configurable then ntune, it can be a little complictaed though at first.

Ntune never seemed to work to good, the video card part of it worked ok but was lacking compared to RivaTuner.

If you want as much data as to what is happening with your graphics card at all times then RivaTuner.

I'm looking for data for my mobo as well.

yup you can also see the speed of your nb chipset fan and the temp of your nb chipset using rivatuner :) ...you can record the temps while playing a game :) you can also see the temp readings in-game using rivatuner. :D

Yep, you can also mark peak temps and I think enable certain hacks for IQ and tweaking not available elsewhere.

RivaTuner > All IMHO
For power users, RivaTuner ftw.

I started using it ever since i had to use it to unlock pipelines on my 6800 non ultra. Haven't looked back since.
