Exactly what it says.  It toggles the on screen display which shows all of your monitored stats, so you can get real time information about usage.

 

By default it's off, so you need a way to turn it on.

You can arrange it however you want, and change the size.  That's just a screenshot I got from the MSI website.  But toggling is also for turning it off when you don't need it.

You need to do that.  You're probably not even seeing the correct overlay.

Wow thanks for the help!  Will set this when I get back to my PC and will update!

Hello @SSK-99 its me, ProBottler.
Last time we met each other on this forum, you asked me the link to download the chipset driver for your mobo, and I just reliazed that I gave you the link to the chipset driver for mobile ryzens, not desktop ryzen.
I think that is the culprit of your problem.
Can you please try uninstall the current chipset driver and install the correct one? https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/b450
I sincerly apologise for the performance lost you have experienced for the last few days

Don't worry about it. Honestly, I can't remember if I used your link or not, but I have a feeling I didn't. Just in case though, is there any way for me to check if I have the mobile drivers installed?

So, I have got back to my PC and my FPS now seems very similar to YT videos so I am a lot less worried now, even though I have only tested in Dauntless. However, I am convinced something is wrong with my MSI / Riva. Setting the toggle in MSI Afterburner just doesn't work in game (I set it to ALT + \). However, the overlay shows up automatically in game anyway, but it only displays some elements:

• GPU Temp / Usage
• CPU Temp / Usage
• Current FPS

Even though I have also selected Average FPS, Min FPS, etc... they do not show up

I guess it doesn't really matter as I can just look at the FPS in real time.

Try Alt+, and make sure that both Riva and Afterburner are open.

 

As for the settings, make sure you follow the instructions I gave here:

For reference, this is what you need to change:

Click the settings (you can use Ctrl+Click to select multiple at the same time) and then check the "Show in On-Screen Display" box.

It's not enough to just have the checkmark enabled. You also have to click the "Show in On-Screen Display" option on.
