Game and software developers employ NVAPI for a range of advanced features. Developers of monitoring tools, specifically, leverage NVAPI to retrieve real-time thermal sensor data so users can keep a close eye on their graphics card's conditions. While there is a world of information through NVAPI, there are certain sensor readings that Nvidia intentionally kept hidden from developers.…
