Frame per second / gpu temp widget

hey Linus, I notice when you are flogging a video card or processor, you have a nice small temp or FPS monitor up in the right corner, what do you use for that? I have MSI's Afterburner, but it's kind of large.

msi afterburner has a app for your phone or tablet, if you want something that doesnt take up your screen, thats your best bet. I know its not exactly what your looking for but may help!

Are you referring to the small yellow number that keeps jumping on the top right corner of the monitor?

 

I think that would be the program Fraps. A program used to see the FPS (Frame Per Second). Well, at least that is the one I used and looks like it.

 

Go to here to find out more on Fraps.

Hah! You can use HWiNFO Program, 64bit or 32bit .. 

 

You then need to head over "Montoring" and pick "CPU" (the top choice not the bottom), and the other stuff you need.. and don't forget to check them with a tick on the OSD section..

 

You'll figure it out! I know this isn't much of a guide >_> ... but it's really easy.

 

Oh, incase you're wondering, yes it does work with MSI Afterburner.. and I mean it, try it out.

 

P.S. Yeah, it monitors many things... MANY.. Too many.
