Looking to have the temps of cpu and gpu, FPS and other stats onscreen whilst gaming. Will be used on my AORUS X5V6.

Help?

TIA.

Thanks.

I would prefer not to have MSI branded stuff on my lappy after they mis-sold thousands of top tier laptops. Is there anything else you know of that does the same job?

Its only a computer program. Its not like the branding is going to make you go back and buy from them!

Idk man, that's my go to. Rivatuner is stand alone so you can get the FPS shown, but I got no idea how to link other stats up to it.

I'ld just use it tbh, it's been around forevers.. long before the laptop shizz.

MSI ab isn't even made by them, it's done by some angry guy in (I presume) the CIS region

Other than Afterburner/Rivatuner, and depending on if you like windowed borderless, you can place HWiNFO64 sensor displays in your notification tray. It helps not to clog up the actual gaming window with too much overlays. A tool called Windowed Borderless Gaming tool (current version 2.1.0.1) is very helpful for games that make it difficult (or impossible) to re-size and also set the window exactly where you want. With this stuff, I can separate CPU voltages/frequency, CPU usage/temp, RAM usage etc (notification tray) and GPU power/usage/temp/fps (Rivatuner overlay). Ideal for those with just one screen like myself, and who like to keep tabs on that stuff, imo.
