FPS Monitor News

Here is our new release #5075.

Changes list:
⚡ We've added boolean sensors (1/0 or Yes/No, On/Off). For example, CPU core sensors "Critical Temperature" and "Thermal Throttling" and others.
⚡ Better compatibility with DX10/11/12 games on some systems.
⚡ Desktop widget now has an Update Rate option like overlays. Previous versions updated it 10 times per second by default.
⚡ Fixed bug selecting software interface font in the program options. Our Asian comrades have noted this and we have fixed this ;) Translations will be updated too in next release.

We have a long-awaited release for you! 🤗
New version #5070 is available to download in steam and from our web site.

📋 Changes list:

🆕 New scenes (approx 30 items), including scenes with desktop widget
🆕 Alerts are added in graph and bars overlays
🆕 Total RAM sensor is added
🆕 Wildcard for processes names is added in blacklist settings ('*' starts _anything_ in the name)
🆕 Simple macros are added in text fields of Text, Graph and Bar overlays

✅ Background color for Sysinfo bars is back (avoiding redundant color fill overlays)
✅ Hardware access driver is updated -> more compatibility, additional hardware support (like GTX 1660)
✅ Fixed some games compatibility
✅ Fixed wrong rounding of Gigabytes values


Macros are commands which you can use in almost any text field of any overlay to show some auto-detected values or sensor values,

🖍 Full variant:
${CPU0} - CPU title
${CPU0_USAGE} - CPU load
${RAM_TOTAL} - Total RAM
${GPU0} - GPU title
${GPU0_MEM} - GPU memory usage

🖍 Short:
${CPU0/s} - Short CPU title
${GPU0/s} - Short GPU title
⚠ If you have 2 or more GPUs, increase index (1-2-3 instead of 0)

🖍 HDD/SSD
${DISK0} - Disk name (Disk C, D, D...)
${DISK0_FREE} - Free disk space
${DISK0_TOTAL} - Total disk space
⚠ Indices as with GPUs.

Hello everyone!

Hello boys and girls!
We're ready to release new build with with very nice build number #5000.
As we announced at the end of 2018 year, this new version will have at least one great new feature - desktop widget (or desktop overlay).
Now you're able to see any part of a scene over your desktop (on top or under all windows). This widget works as portal or mirror to your scene. It will show everything that falls within its boundaries. Just hold CTRL button and move it over desktop with mouse (even to another display).

Here are the other changes in this release:

• Added sensors for logical disks. These sensor will not slow down system performance or even crash it (possible with physical drives sensors on some systems)
  
• Added font anti-aliasing switch in overlays. Very useful for Desktop overlay when it is in "transparent black color" mode.
  
• Added Cyber Sync feature in experimental mode (FPS Limiter option)
  
• Fixed GPU driver memory leak in some very specific cases (yes, we know how to eat all your GPU memory and no one will understand what the hell is going on :) )
  
• Improvements in hardware access module (new devices are supported, fixes, etc)
  

Hello, friends!
We worked hard and are almost ready to release a new version which has a number of new features.

We'd like to reveal now one of them - this is the Mirror To Desktop (or Desktop Overlay) feature. The program will display a specified area(s) from your scene right to desktop (to a widget). So you'll be able to see your system state not only in games but in "normal" Windows too.

Here is the sample of such widget over Windows desktop.


This version is available in beta channel (fpsmonitor properties in steam client, betas tab).
