cpu and gpu load tracking -- How to?

[aatd 10]

 

Is there a way to get MSFS to display the CPU and GPU loads and temps while in flight?  If yes, how do I set this up?

Thanks all,

Brian

I personally use Afterburner + RTSS. Allows you to create an overlay with whatever tracking you like; temperatures, load, memory usage, power usage, framerate, frametimes and might even make you a coffee.

This + I have a hw info stream deck plugin, so I've got it off screen.

If you have an nvidia graphics card, then, with nvidia Geforce Experience installed with your driver, if you press Alt + R, an overlay will come up on the top right or left hand side of your screen - with those kinds of data values displayed in it.

I use HWInfo64 linked to another copy running on a separate (laptop) computer to monitor CPU/GPU loads, voltages, temps, power etc.  Works quite well and keeps it off of the simulator display.

I have an X-Box controller which I just use for changing views and flying the drone camera.... Anyway if you press the Round X-Box logo (its actually a big button, not just a badge/logo) then X-Box GameBar overlays small X-Box game bar widgets on MSFS displaying frame rate, RAM usage, GPU and CPU stats etc.

i switch to windowed mode than run HWMonitor from the task bar shortcut while flying.

You can check all your systems performance, don`t need FPS already know locked at 30 smooth flying.

 Be aware that if you have the ATR plain installed then MSFS crashes

No crashes here.

I always fly with no hardware info on the screen….  😎

Just kiddin’..

For testing purposes I use the default Counter + N.V. overlay. And If needed HW Info.

FpsMonitor works really well, super flexible, has a limited demo and cost ten bucks for the program.
