FPS Monitor (Ingame hardware monitoring overlay)

[R7GE]

Hi everyone!

I read the rules and I know that for new users the opportunity to talk about their project is limited. But unfortunately I do not know another way to tell about the project which can be useful to the forum participants. This is not spam, and I will be grateful if the forum administration allows me to talk about our program. Thank you.

I'd like to present new app for everyone who likes to monitor stats of hardware while gaming! FPS Monitor - friendly and easy to use application for displaying FPS and other sensors (CPU/GPU/RAM/NET/DRV and 100+ others) in game overlay. The program is ready to use right after installation and always allow you do some precise configuration.

Paid or free? All functionality is free if you use software from our site, and it is only one limitation - we will show a reminder to support developers.

Website: https://fpsmon.com
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/966610/FPS_Monitor/

Basic Functionality:
- FPS (including minimum/average/maximum and frame time).
- Real-time information about CPU, video card, memory, network activity, disks activity and more than 40 other sensors.
- Show sensors information as numbers and/or graphs.
- Notifications about the critical values of all important parameters (like overheat) - you will not miss it.
- Energy consumption sensor (in the presence of a UPS or power supply with such a function).

Easy to use:
- You can customize the interface directly in the app window - add and remove sensors, set limit values, change colors, sizes, fonts, alignment and position of any displayed data.
- Configure the interface before entering the game and check how it looks on top of screenshot or directly in the game.
- Take screenshots plus use hotkeys, picture or text overlays.
- Switch between several ready-to-go presets and create them yourself.

Our solution is so optimized that is using only up to ~0.5% of your CPU power!

Right now, we already have more than 200,000+ users. We continue adding some new cool functionality, so stay tuned!
I will follow the topic, questions and suggestions are welcome!

Thank you!

Nice app. Will be nice to use something more sophisticated than the aging Fraps, which can cause issues in some games. Will try it out later.

I am looking for software like this that can support my 5.25 bay inch GTT38A Touchscreen LCD screen.

Nice software, i will give this a try

That looks super tight man. Thanks for posting.

You see this is miles different than 'Created my first random monitoring app, it needs some work, but here's a buggy alpha, please donate'

Thanks for your hospitality guys! i hope you enjoy
As i said before - questions, reviews and suggestions are welcome!

And, we started work on the function of displaying information not only in games and benchmarks, but also for the desktop.

Guys! FPS Monitor is now available on Steam!

Given the case it already isn't, I'd like to suggest to get in touch with BattleEye (PubG, ArmA), Valve (literally everything else), EA (Origin), EvenBalance (Punkbuster) and such A.S.A.P. to get your overlay recognised as being trustworthy, to prevent people from getting banned and lose their games, valid registered keys and/or accounts on given services – you know, just in case your software gets erroneously recognised as being a ESP and/or wallhack-overlay.

So, if you consider reaching any greater audience some day, you could even advertise your software as being proof before that condition officially.
If not done already, do it NOW! Steam has a insanely huge audience of paying customers, and someone taking you up to court (you got the idea …) and responsible for their losses financially is no joy.

Youve been using FRAPS?!

Dear Smartcom! The base of FPS Monitor users has long passed over 200,000 people. And we are not aware of a single case of a ban for using our software. Moreover, FPS Monitror is not our first program, it has an older brother who has been on the market for about 10 years, and there were no problems with it either. We have long been contacted by most game developers and are known to us in companies providing protection against cheats.

Thank you very much for your concern, but we have foreseen everything and I see no reason for concern. Use with pleasure - everything will be fine!

Well, as I already said in advance „Given the case it already isn't“ … It wasn't meant to belittle your efforts, your work or the program's already gathered audience and I'm glad you understand that.
We've been having way too much occurrences where overlays caused bans due to the fact those were accidentally recognised as ESPs/Wallhacks.

You know, there's a fully understandable and justified reason why people ask questions like „Can Xy Overlay cause VAC Ban?“ every time some more convenient/popular overlay pops up.
Accounts and subscriptions become more valuable and costy each year when sales start to kick in and even well known tools like Afterburner or Teamspeak et cetera caused bans every once in a while.

Thank you very much for your concern, but we have foreseen everything and I see no reason for concern.

✘ Truth
✘ Doubt
✘ Lie

Glad you fully understand given concerns as your official website DOES LACK ANY INFORMATION regarding the possibility of bans caused by this useful tool – while curiously enough exactly that might be the utmost important core-information when informing over and advertising a tool which establishes a overlay in-game, don't you think?

So I wonder if dropping the lovely passage from the Steampage down there also on your website might help actually informing people;

FPS Monitor is compatible with well known anti-cheats: Valve Anti-Cheat, EasyAntiCheat, PunkBuster, BattlEye and many others.

You are absolutely right, this information should be on the official website and it will definitely appear there. At the moment we are developing a full-fledged site, instead of this 1-page stub

Thanks again, I hope our software will be useful for you.

That's some awesome news! To be honest, the mentioned issue was the very first which came to mind as I looked up the site since I want to switch from Afterburner – I guess now I can?

I think this is a chance

How about a nice app to work on our Logitech G19 keyboards so we don't need the OSD :-D

We just discussed this with a programmer and came to the conclusion that this is a good idea and its implementation is quite possible. Moreover, we have R13, so that it will test on what.

I used to use ACT, it used plugins that would do various things.

Also a G19 user and would also love this. If you need a tester I’ll happily help. Afterburners LCD support is ugly and clunky and well....FRAPS...UGH!

 

[Hellfire]

Snap, I'd happily test on my G19s

 

[Jetster]

I like it

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

Who doesnt have a G19 !

@R7GE,
I use NZXT's CAM sometimes.
Looks a lot like CAM. Did your team have anything to do with NZXT CAM?

Nope, and I'm a little surprised, because we are often called the MSI Afterburner clone Although if you watched our software, the only thing in common is that all these programs display PC sensors, but we go our own way
