Nope, and I'm a little surprised, because we are often called the MSI Afterburner clone :D 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 :)

Glad you're not copying MSI, I can't stand Afterburner, doesn't help the dev for AB is a little whiney....... yeah...

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!
May I... ? :) While I have not started to create a super mega extension for FpsMonitor with Logitech LCDs support, could you tell more about what you don't like in AB LCD and what you'd like to see?

Well I use AIDA64 exclusively for my monitoring needs and it basically gives me a blank page to put whatever I want whenever I want, size colour etc. AB just for using the FPS monitoring I get no real options at all and the app likes to force itself over everything else. AIDA can actually access RTSS info and I’ve not actually tried integrating it. I suppose then I could integrate into my existing monitoring. I’ve grabbed the standalone RTSS just now so I think I’ll test the AIDA/RTSS integration and see how that goes.
Edit: standalone RTSS let’s me integrate the FPS counter into AIDA so I can set it up to my liking. I have no use for Afterburner as it has no Vega support.

Oh it also doesn't help that AB doesn't work with Vega64 (well at least my card, which is the same Instg8r has)

I would happily test and feedback on this but I'd really only be interested if it was a G19 app for the LCD, purely as I don't like items cluttering my screen. :) Any news on that?

Currently we add a bit another cool mega features, not LCD display support. But be sure, we know exactly where to ask for LCD test ;)

All it needs is an applet to display the info on the LCD screen in a Keyboard or drive bay LCD.

Having the stats displaying on an External LCD screen means you never have to mess around with the software. Here I have another 5.25 inch bay LCD display which you can download the software & at start-up it displays processor speed, network speed, memory, pagefile, ect, ect, in real time. So you never need to load or config anything. It nice, but I wanted a TFT screen so I can "display anything I want".

The Matrix Obital is a touch screen display, currently sitting in my 5.25 inch bay displaying AMD + Logo on boot-up. I think you can even go as far as playing games on it, as demonstrated by a demo where you can play a piano.


EDIT: My old display I no longer use http://www.nmediapc.com/prolcd.htm

Congrats!
So I Installed it, selected one template with info elements, and now? How to display the Monitor instead of the Editor?

Thanks in advance!

Just go to any game :)
And we are already working on a function that will show information outside the game!

I did not test RTSS + HWinfo, but I do not think that maybe something significantly less than 0.1% :) Perhaps on weaker processors the load will be slightly higher, but somehow it’s not much at all.

Hi guys, we have good news! You can already try beta new widget in FPS Monitor - displaying any overlay right on your desktop!

You simply create a new type of overlay and move it by holding ctrl to any place on your desktop, including the 2nd monitor. And in the program window, move the scene to the new overlay.

Beta can be updated via Steam (beta channel) or by downloading the link: https://fpsmon.com/fpsmon-4928.exe

I bought FPS Monitor on Steam yesterday and I'm finding it hard to get it to display a cool looking overlay like the ones attached.
Also, I get a message that hardware initialisation wasn't completed on start up.
Are there templates built in? A tutorial?
I can build PCs, but I'm not much good at some software.

After the transition to the new version (we changed the data format recently), the old overlays are no longer working. But we will soon again make new ones, at the moment there are already a few pre-installed. The tutorial in English is also in the process of development, the program is being developed and we do not yet have time to refine it to the new functionality :)

Please provide a log file (fpsmonitor.txt from my documents) after software started.

p.s. If you have HWInfo software running before FpsMonitor start, please close it (they can conflict)

No worries, I'm getting the hang of it now, thanks. It seems to work fine with HWInfo and doesn't seem to make any difference, at least for me.
Many thanks for your help.

There is one switch in hwinfo-config.txt file in C:\ProgramData\FpsMonitor folder - HWINFO_CFG_PERSISTENT_DRIVER. If you set it to 1 and then start FpsMonitor with running HWInfo, then this should solve the compatibility problem. At least, users reported about success mostly.
