About FPS Monitor – hardware in-game & desktop overlays

✦ AI summary

FPS Monitor displays real-time hardware metrics, temperatures, and performance data as a customizable in-game overlay without interrupting gameplay. It's the ultimate monitoring companion that shows everything from FPS and frame times to CPU/GPU load and sensor readings across DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan games.

FPS Monitor tracks your PC's hardware state and displays this information as an overlay in-game. You no longer need to switch to desktop or attach a second display to control your hardware status. FPS Monitor will show all valuable information in-game.

FPS Monitor is the very first special software tool that not only shows an FPS counter similar to good old Fraps™, but can also display a lot of other parameters. This gives a clear overview of how your hardware is performing while you're gaming.

FPS Monitor does not require configuration and displays all the most useful information immediately after installation, as well as has a rich functionality for those who prefer to configure everything as he likes.

  • Hardware alerts - software will warn you in the overlay when your hardware is running in a dangerous state or close to critical.

  • You can configure the font, size, style, colors and other rendering options for each sensor value right in the program (WYSIWYG).

FPS Monitor is an excellent application that not only displays FPS in games, but also serves as an alternative to programs like MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z, CPU-Z, CrystalDisk, and so on. It can also show your motherboard’s temperature. However, with the introduction of the "Performance Monitor" in the Steam launcher, this application has become useless. I only use it when launching Alan Wake 2 in the Epic Gays Store, and even then, only because those idiots still haven’t released it on Steam. Conclusion: I’m not going to run this application for just one game, but I still recommend the program itself. FPS Monitor - прекрасное приложение, которое показывает не только FPS в играх, а также служит альтернативным аналогом таких программ, как MSI Afterburner, GPU Z, CPU Z, CrystalDisk и так далее. Также приложение может показать температуру твоей Материнской платы. Но увы, с появлением "монитора производительности" в лаунчере Steam, данное приложение стало бесполезным. Использую только тогда, когда включаю Alan Wake 2 в Epic Gays Store, и то, только потому что дебилы не могут её выпустить в Steam. Итог: Ради одной игры, я не буду включать данное приложение, но саму программу рекоменд…

Приложение для мониторинга неплохое, но есть баг, который не фиксится. На видеокартах AMD отображается 900+ ГБ потребления видеопамяти, хотя оверлей от Steam не выдает таких заоблачных цифр. В дискуссиях пишут, что это проблема AMD и надо использовать другой софт, либо смириться. Приложение платное, и подобные баги неприемлимы.

THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT I HAVE EVER INSTALLED ON MY PC. ACTUALLY, i AM ASHAMED THAT I WAS SO STUPID AS TO EVEN PAY FOR THIS CRAP! IT DOES NOT WORK, and if it does, the instructions are in RUSSIAN!
