Here is a plug-in that allows you to put EVGA Precision X hardware monitoring information into the Rainmeter customizable resource meter.

Installation:

1. Download the following zip file and extract it to your "Documents\Rainmeter\Skins" folder.
2. Copy the appropriate plugin for your computer's architecture from your "Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\EVGAPrecision\plugin\<x86 or x64>\EVGAPrecision.dll" to the "C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Plugins" folder.
3. Enable one of the included skins in the rainmeter options - use the EVGAPrecision skin for single graphics cards, or EVGAPrecisionDual for SLI/CrossFire setups.

To use this plugin for data in a custom skin, please do the following:

1. Create a measure using one of the following formats:
   • DataSource - specify the measure using the name of the monitor for the DataSource parameter.  This name should match exactly what is shown in the EVGA Precision X monitoring graphs.  Here is an example for framerate:
     

     [MeasureEVGAPrecisionFramerate]      
      Measure=Plugin      
      Plugin=Plugins\EVGAPrecision.dll      
      DataSource=Framerate      
      MinValue=0      
      MaxValue=200

   • GPU/SourceId - specify the measure using the GPU index and SourceId.  The GPU parameter is the index of your video card starting at 0. If you only have one graphics card, this value will always be 0. Users with multiple cards can use 0, 1, etc to query the respective cards.  The SourceId is the decimal equivalent of the hex value listed in the EVGA Precision SDK (EPHMShreadMemory.h).  This method is prefered to the previous method as it will work for both single and multi card systems.  Here is an example for GPU Usage:
     

     [MeasureEVGAPrecisionGPU0Usage]      
      Measure=Plugin      
      Plugin=Plugins\EVGAPrecision.dll      
      GPU=0      
      SourceId=48      
      MinValue=0      
      MaxValue=100

   • GPU/GPUDescriptor - The GPU parameter is the index of your video card starting at 0. If you only have one graphics card, this value will always be 0. Users with multiple cards can use 0, 1, etc to query the respective cards.  The GpuDescriptor parameter dictates what data you want to return for that particular card. The valid values are listed below in blue, along with some sample data that was returned.
     Family:  GF116
     DisplayName:  GeForce GTX 550 Ti
     Driver:  301.42
     BIOS:  70.26.18.00.00
     Memory:  1024
     GpuId:  VEN_10DE&DEV_1244&SUBSYS_26101462&REV_A1&BUS_2&DEV_0&FN_0
     VendorId:  10DE
     DeviceId:  1244
     SubSystem:  26101462
     Revision:  A1
     Bus:  2
     DeviceNum:  0
     FunctionNum:  0
     For example, you would use this measure to return the display name of the primary graphics card (simply change the GPU=0 to GPU=1 to get the name of the 2nd card in the system):

     [MeasureEVGAPrecisionGPU0DisplayName]      
      Measure=Plugin      
      Plugin=Plugins\EVGAPrecision.dll      
      GPU=0      
      GPUDescriptor=DisplayName      
      UpdateDivider=3600

2. Create a meter that uses the measure defined in step 1.  Here is an example to display the framerate text value:
   

   [MeterEVGAPrecisionFamerate]      
    Meter=String      
    MeasureName=MeasureEVGAPrecisionFramerate      
    X=[MeasureLeftText]      
    Y=[MeasureTopGraph]      
    Text="Framerate: %1"      
    NumOfDecimals=1      
    MeterStyle=EVGAPrecisionStyle

Please review the included skins for examples on creating these measures.  Also, please review the documentation on the Rainmeter site for creating skins: 

Please let me know if you have any questions or issues.  Special thanks to NoirNL(Emiel) for requesting this plugin.

Thanks,
Nick
 
EDIT:  Sorry, can't create a download link cause I a newb.  I'll edit the post once I am able to do so.  In the meantime, use this to create your own link (change the dash to a slash):  rivatuner.doomdealer.com-precision-rainmeter-EVGAPrecision.zip

the download link seems to be down

the download link seems to be down

I just created my account yesterday, so EVGA won't let me post a URL link for 5 days.  So you will need to copy/paste this into your web browser address:
rivatuner.doomdealer.com-precision-rainmeter-EVGAPrecision.zip
and then change the 3 '-' into '/'.  The site is up, I just downloaded it again to make sure.

I'll edit my post in 4 more days so there will be a clickable URL.

If you still have issues, send me a PM with an email address and I'll send you the link.

the host was probably down last night since it's working now. thanks!

Do you still have this plugin available? This seems to be the only thread on the entirety of the internets with a PrecisionX plugin for Rainmeter.

The link is at the bottom of his post, just had to replace the dashes with slashes.
 
rivatuner.doomdealer.com/precision/rainmeter/EVGAPrecision.zip

Thanks! I tried that link the other day and it kept telling me 404. I wonder if I miss copied something. 
 

oh btw you fig out how to get the FPS to work for me i post you a pic of my awsom J.A.R.V.I.S  Desktop

ok so may because i'm running the new
Running PrecisionX 3.0.4 with Rainmeter 2. 4 might be the prob ?

well what  vidieo driver you useing i have  310.70 beta  may that be  it  got a bug cause the nvidia driver updater 1.11.3 did not want to install and no the skin in the zip is on 0.0 as well but  i'll try the  skin in this form and see if it works and thanks for your time and help

ok maybe i just need to clear my head all this work probly got me in a bug lol but maybe it works  not sure cause i'm tryin to config it for reading a bench mark fps and i'm just so over worked and not seeing it or i'm missing it  might be my case if you have  any idea for that let me know i'm a noob lol but a fast learner as you can see i done a bunch of modding on my desk top and thanks a bunch for all your help

Hello stangowner,
 
I have put the link in your OP.  Thanks for sharing.

Hello stangowner,

I have put the link in your OP.  Thanks for sharing.

Rob

Thanks Rob, I really appreciate it!  One minor thing, the URL has an extra character at the end, so it is resulting in a 404 not found.  Can you edit it again to get rid of the extra '%C2%A0' after the '.zip'?
 
Thanks!
Nick

ok thank you verey much nick so it was not my brain overload it was an oc scaner  baaaaa humbug  well  not sure what wold be a good bench mark to use and free  3dmark or futuremark  are to costly but no matter if i cant fined a good one i just jump off a cliff  jk  but  agin thank you for understanding  and help

Link is down can you update?
*Edit - Thanks for the quick update!!! I will update this once I set it up =)
*Edit 2 - Worked like a charm thanx!

Just a heads up
 
Running Rainmeter with Precision -and- then using GPUz can be dangerous and lead to issues.
 
This is because of KNOWN conflicts between the programs
This can be made MUCH worse, if you happen to be using the SpeedFan application that Rainmeter uses.
 
What we are talking about is corruption in the Precision files and by extension into the Nvidia driver itself. The addition of SpeedFan into that, can cause issues like incorrect temps, boost, clock cycle and fan speed issues.
Not to mention ALL kinds of issues when playing games
 
I post this only to help users be informed of KNOWN issues
And to make them aware that using such programs may cause issues that are "software" based.
 
At the current time, it is possible to have serious issues with just Precision alone (due to improper use/error) and the current Nvidia driversets. Adding anything on top of a broken Precision would be quite problematic...
 
Heads up
 
If you experience such issues, the "software's" must be -completely- uninstalled
*Critical: when uninstalling Precision, you MUST answer NO when asked to save data and profiles. 
-->AND a reboot done (to remove the injectors from the driver)
After the reboot is done, then a Custom/Clean install will be needed to restore the driver to its original state. 

Proxywars

Is there any other way then? Is there any way to link the clock speeds into rainmeter and rid of gpu-z?
*Edit - Didn't read where Precision alone is a problem. Switching to MSI Afterburner =/

 
Precision and Afterburner are are basically the "same" program written by Unwinder.
-->Problems that effect one PX or AB are quite likely to effect the other.
 
I am NOT trying to keep people from using these programs, simply to point out that videocard and Nvidia driver -Behavior- should NOT be taken for granted when using these programs.
 
Just be careful and understand you videocard is not broken if your having issues when running these programs.
You should be aware of the possible issues and how to recover
 
If your having issues with the programs themselves or in games...
Uninstall RainMeter
Reboot once
Uninstall SpeedFan
Reboot once
*do NOT use GPUz (this program is KNOWN to cause issues with the others running)
Uninstall Precision/Afterburner (and do NOT save profile/data)
Do a REBOOT to clear the Nvidia driver after uninstalling PX/AB   
Reinstall the driver (after a reboot) using Custom mode w/clean install checked to complete the recovery
