    Latest version of HWMonitor doesn't do it for some odd reason. Anything pre 1.17 will see GPU temperatures.

    I've found that if you launch a different app that uses the GPU, alt+tab out then lauch HWMonitor then it will show GPU temperatures.

    Try SIW. Very informative and shows gpu and temps without having to activate the nvidia gpu first.
