GPU OSD?

Mayfair · 4 Nov 2010 at 11:14

Hello all,

I've searched around and cannot find anything, so thought I’d ask you guys here.

I'm looking for an application to monitor and display GPU temp, memory usage and FPS within game, (On-Screen Display) would be nice to see CPU Usage+Temps also but isn’t necessary. I'm currently using EVGA Precision for this, but because I’m running something called ENBSeries mod for GTAIV that using d3d9 when running EVGA Precision it cannot load and causing game to crash at load up. I think its because EVGA Precision is already using d3d9 and so the ENBSeries cannot function. I've also tried loading up the game then after running EVGA Precision but it just causing the game to crash because I guess d3d9 is already being used?

So to re-cap, I'm in need of an application that monitors and displays GPU information in-game(On-Screen Display) that doesn’t use d3d9(Not sure if this is possible though..

)

Hopefully you guys will know a certain application that can do this.

Thanks for your time!

'HW Monitor' will give you gpu temps and 'fraps' will give you an osd fps reading.

Thanks for your reply, 'HW Monitor' will display gpu temps in-game via OSD also?

MSI afternburner or EVGA precision tool. They will list pretty much everything you could ever want.

Yes I normally use EVGA precision, but as stated in my original post because imp using something called ENBSeries mod for GTAIV that using d3d9 it causing the game to crash when running MSI Afterburner or EVGA precision OSD I think its because they are trying to use the d3d9 at the same time and is the reason for the crash. So looking for another tool that does OSD but doesn’t use d3d9 if possible.. But unsure if it’s even possible without it.
