Can't get rid of nVidia on-screen framerate counter

Go to solution Solved by xAcid9,

It's in "Open Share" beside "Settings"

*I'm posting this to the GPU sub-forum because it started after updating GeForce Experience/nVidia drivers, if it should be elsewhere move it!*

 

I have a GTX780 and am running beta versions of GeForce Experience. About a week ago a green framerate counter started showing up in my games and even on my lock screen/login screen as well. I know it's from nVidia, because looking up the nVidia documentation they state a framerate counter as a new feature. Their documentation says to go into ShadowPlay settings and you can disable it; however I have no ShadowPlay settings in my GeForce Experience program. It's slightly annoying, especially when I'm logging back in and it's displaying the framerate of the lock screen. Has anyone else had this 'phantom' framerate counter appear, and if so, how did you remove it? I may just end up uninstalling GeForce Experience and the drivers and not do betas anymore.

Try using the set key to disable the frame rate counter.

 

And as mentioned below, if you click on the "Share" icon, navigate to Settings, and then click on Overlay, you'll find it there.

The beta has a different interface.

As @Godlygamer23 said, the beta has an updated UI. It used to be easy to find, now it's not as much. Thanks for the help everyone.
