Thanks man. This comment made me focus on the “Benchmark” aspect of the min max fps. I didn’t find it in setup/general for some reason (im prolly overlooking it) but under benchmark tab I selected new hotkeys for begin-recording/end-recording and that it go it to work me. Finally lol

A very interesting video, thank you for the accessible and understandable information about the project, I will try myself in it, I recommend it to everyone!!!!!
Someone asked me if I had a saved config for the setup due to running it on so many systems for benchmarking. I actually don't and never thought about it because I have repeated the process so much now it's instinct lol Glad it helps though and thanks for watching.
I got it working but how can we set the names? I can view the get fps avg, 1%, 0.1% lows etc but they are shown as just numbers no text in front indicating what the numbers mean.
Nice and to the point, thank you, one question though, what is the untick all option when selecting your graph options. I see you added all and removed all by using some sort of shortcut.
Me neither....and no one seems to know. It would be nice if MSI had an in depth tutorial on this software,, so that we didnt have to rely on guys like this, who dont respond when theres something abnormal.
@@TechLabUK Tried that, but it shows the average FPS, doesn't show 0.1% or 1% lows. setting a hot key doesn't seem to disable or enable the overlay either for some reason. it's always on and always displaying the same information.
@@NGreedia What hot keys are you setting. I have had issues with assigning some keys although Ctrl-Num1 (2,3,4,5 etc) seem to work ok as long as numlock is on.
Same as any windows app really. Click the top one, hold shift and click the bottom one will select them all or hold ctrl and click which ones you want and only those will all be clicked.
Rivatuner usually opens on its own when you open Afterburner. If RivaTuner isn't working you might have to re-install it. You can download RivaTuner on it's own and get the latest version and just install/overrite the current one.
Hello, thank you for the video, I already had an existing Rivatuner setup and wanted to have the same with the FPS with the values, but I only get the simple FPS displayed. Why is that?
Make sure the others are enabled on the overlay and go to the benchmark tab, set a hot kep for starting / ending the benchmark and hit that in game. Those attributes are part of the benchmark and sometimes don't automatically display without forcing the benchmark to start.
Not a 100% sure. Ribs tuner is what’s really providing the overlay and I believe uses hooks into the Direct3D it detects running so might if an app uses these apis but never tried it.
@@Juniorgalle21 Could try re-installing it in case there is a newer version. Also worth testing another game as some of them are weird like CSGO requires additional configuration etc.
It will be over the complete benchmark you run. You can set p hotkey's within the configuration to stop and start the benchmark and these will be reset when you do it and the averages are over the length of your benchmark.
What a LOT of people dont know, me included is that capping via Riva Tuner is different from capping in game or in Nvidia Control Panel. It just works. No stutters for me, capping Flight Simulator to 64fps (60is on the limit for a gsynce compatible screens can handle without tearing, stutters - even though my screen should work don to under 50. It does NOT) . So 63 fps, and superdupersmooth! No vsync needed in NCP either (id just didnt get better). I still have som random occational stutters and freezes, but I think it has to do with the game, and Microsoft servers. But for now Im happy! Going from 144 gsynced to this i like open the door to well...alice in wonderland. A big suprprise (fon weird cats here though).
@@TechLabUK i tested it further and i found out that it only works in some games. it doesnt work in roblox for example which i saw it worked for others. idk why
@@sgardoboff5547 Ahh some games require additional launch options. Like Counter-Strike etc. Look up what Roblox requires for Afterburner Overlay to work.
If you leave the FPS counters names as default they are displayed as the API's that game uses I believe so DSD12 would be that that game is using the DirectX 12 API's. So maybe different games are showing different things or you changed the API that game is using in it's settings or something.
@@classicalmusic3979 Did you set a hot key for the benchmarks? These don’t always show and as they are technically part of the benchmarking you get set a key under that tab to turn them on and off again.
As long as they are enabled they sometimes don't show until you turn on the "Benchmark" as that's what they are effectively doing. In Afterburner settings go to the "Benchmark" tab and set a hot key up to start and end the benchmark. When in game hit the hotkey and they should show. Ending should pause them so you can store them.
I see an option to display to the logitech LCD keyboard screen. I was wondering if it was possible to display it to the ROG Azoth keyboard screen. I only selected the box and it did not work. Do you know what I would need to do to make it work by chance?
Go to the benchmarking tab and set a hot key for turning the benchmark on and off and hit that in game. Sometimes the Averages wont appear automatically for some reason.
I am pretty sure you can do some advanced configuration on it to show anything that has a sensor but I have only ever used what it comes with out the box.
Is AB not being hacked these days? Right from MSI's landing page. I'm using 4.64 that I saved some time ago. It looks normal.

hii i installed this and after intsalling it startd downloading some direct x 2009. i just wanna ask is it safe coz directx installation part wasnt there in your video sooo...
I assume it's because it need specific libraries from that version and as it wasn't already installed it got them for you. Most steam games will do the same if it doesn't detect it already being there. As long as you got it from the MSi website as shown in the video then you are fine.
Some games it won't work with straight away but other than that did you set a hotkey to toggle it on and off? Sometimes it's defaulted as off, failing that re-installing Afterburner can resolve issues like that.
@@kae2678 did you ever figure it out? i cant get it to display in any of my games either. I tried a hotkey and also reinstalling afterburner/rivatuner.
The overlay won't work with CS without a little more configuration. Add "-allow_third_party_software" to CS's launch options and then create a new profile in RivaTuner pointing to the CS exe and it will then start working.

@@TechLabUK Aha!! Yes, this step is needed.
How do I make it so that Framerate average only show the average over the last 10 seconds instead of since I launched the game?

Not a 100% sure. Ribs tuner is what’s really providing the overlay and I believe uses hooks into the Direct3D it detects running so might if an app uses these apis but never tried it.

Good straight to the point, bullshit-free tutorial for beginners. Thanks.
hey why does river tuner dosnt show?
if you close it, you have to start it by finding the exe in the rivatuner folder in programs...then pin the shortcut to quicklauncg/taskbar
what command i can use to made it, staright line. cos i only use temp and FPS monitor for all daily gaming.
Thanks.
Great video bro! Question why doesn’t MSI let me enable Benchmark? Not even to set a hotkey. I have Rivatuner installed.
It should work, not sure of the specs though. It's sometimes weird with unusual hardware.

@@Juniorgalle21 Could try re-installing it in case there is a newer version. Also worth testing another game as some of them are weird like CSGO requires additional configuration etc.
‘FPS Average’ is average in which timeframe? Overall or in 1 minute?
It will be over the complete benchmark you run. You can set p hotkey's within the configuration to stop and start the benchmark and these will be reset when you do it and the averages are over the length of your benchmark.
