Topic: Another new Slade / Temp and FPS question Posted: 15 Apr 2014 at 6:06pm |
I didn't want to steal Alex's thread so ....
First off, hats off to the DS crew, well done. Great build, shipping/packaging like a boss, customer service, you name it ,, first class. The way things are supposed to be done. Bottom line, I want to monitor temps on GPU and CPU and see FPS in game, top right of my screen while in game. I come up with MSI Afterburner and HWINFO searching around. That looks okay, however I am interested in other opinions. Is there all all inclusive piece of software that does this? A one stop solution? I'm not opposed to paying a reasonable price for something that does this. |

http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html for the temps or RealTemps
As for seeing the fps in game, depending on the game you can go into game settings and turn fps on. Or another site would be http://www.fraps.com/ Edited by ArkansasWoman777 - 17 Apr 2014 at 5:10am |

I use HWMonitor to monitor cpu/gpu temps on occasion. Not in-game,just a check on occasion.
EVGA Precision I use to monitor gpu temps, in-game and in the taskbar, mainly because I use their fan profile to put a custom fan curve on my graphics card. FRAPS like Arkansas suggested. Again, on occasion and don't dwell on it. If it looks and plays great, then I'm good. |

Due to an error in HWMonitor, I also use Speccy for temps. Side by side.
HWMonitor still says my Mobo runs at 120º - 125ºC .... Speccy says 24º-27ºC. Everything else is in agreement. I like HWM because you can zero it out and run your games, then check current, min and max for the session. Alt-Tab from game if you want to check. Speccy is just a current pic of temps.
As for FPS, FRAPS is your best bet.

EVGA Precision X will give you full details about your GPU. Usage, memory usage, temps, FPS, power draw... everything, but it won't include CPU. If you're wanting CPU temps, CPU usage, GPU temps, GPU usage, FPS. You're best bet FRAPS + HW Monitor. Fraps gives you your FPS, while the hwm gives you everything else.
