title: How to read GPU (graphic card) temperature?
body: <p>I am interested in a way how to read GPU temperature (graphics processing unit, main chip of graphic card), by using some video card driver API?</p>
  
  <p>Everyone knows that there two different chip manufacturers (popular ones, at least) - ATI and nVIDIA - so there are two different kinds of drivers to read temperature from. I'm interested in learning how to do it for each different card driver.</p>
  
  <p>Language in question is irrelevant - it could be C/C++, .NET platform, Java, but let's say that .NET is preferred.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone been doing this before?</p>
