In game cpu monitor.?

Im using MSI afterburner to display GPU load in game but what do people use to monitor CPU load in games.?

TIA.

...do people actually do that?

Could probably just use the Resource monitor and check afterwards if you're that worried..

If you have a G15 keyboard theres an applet for the LCD screen that measures CPU load.

Not sure there is anything you can use in game, unless the game itself has a CPU monitor built into the console.

I sometimes use real temp on my second monitor if i can be bothered

Cool thanks, im not worried its just that my GPU rarely goes over 68% load when gaming so i was wondering if my CPU was holding it back.
Or maybe its the game ??

ahh now thinking about this a bit more i can run resource monitor from my laptop and do a remote connection .. nice

maybe it's the game. Think bigger picture, what fps are you pulling? what game are you talking about? Every game is going to react differently to the hardware you have.

Well for one, GRID @ 1920x1080 maxed out.

Not sure about frames maybe 60+ i'd have to load up fraps and see..
Let me check.

Ahh my bad.. i had V-Synch enabled.
Disabled v-synch and my gpu load went straight up to 99%

nice..

So what framerates were you getting?

Rangler · 16 Mar 2010 at 19:21

In game with v-synch off 80+ average with the occasional dip to mid 70's when things started heating up.
I can get some proper results if you like.?
