I'm using the following line to retrieve nvidia GPU temp:

${execi 60 nvidia-settings -t -q GPUCoreTemp} C

My question is what do I use in the bargraph_small.lua?

{	--[ Graph for GPU Temp ]--
			name="?",
			arg="?",
			max=100,
			alarm=50,
			alarm_colour={0xFF0000,0.60},
			bg_colour={0xFFFFFF,0.20},
			fg_colour={0x00FF00,0.55},
			mid_colour={{0.45,0xFFFF00,0.70}},
			x=50,y=393,
			blocks=18,
                        space=2,
			height=10,width=4,
			angle=90,
                        smooth=true
			},

no go

I should add I'm using Conky v1.8.1-6. 12.04 and a GeForce GTS250.

If this line in a conky gives your gpu temp then what dk75 gave should work.

${nvidia temp}

Works here.

Maybe try conky-all from this ppa

This is what ${nvidia temp} displays on screen, which is why I changed it.

Try the ppa.

My conky -v in Raring shows nvidia support.

+1 on that - that should be a "gotta have link" for all conky enthusiasts.

I have what he calls: (Newer version available)

I'm running SID so it came in with an update.

You might find this link interesting, too...
