Alternatives to NVIDIA FrameView
Free frame rate, frametime, latency, and power-draw monitor for any GPU. The listings below can replace it for an important use case. Each note says what changes if you switch.
The original
NVIDIA FrameView
Free frame rate, frametime, latency, and power-draw monitor for any GPU.
Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as NVIDIA FrameView.
PresentMon
Measure graphics application performance on Windows.
PresentMon is open source under MIT and captures CPU, GPU and display timing for Windows graphics workloads, while FrameView is closed-source freeware.
CapFrameX
Open-source frametime capture and analysis tool for measuring real game performance.
CapFrameX is free and open source and focuses on frametime and stutter analysis on Windows, though sharing results relies on its own cloud service.
MSI Afterburner
Widely used GPU overclocking and monitoring tool with on-screen display.
MSI Afterburner combines monitoring with GPU overclocking, an on-screen display and benchmarking for cards from any vendor, but its advanced tuning options can intimidate beginners.
Also worth comparing
These listings name NVIDIA FrameView as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.
FPS Monitor
An in-game overlay for Windows PCs that shows frame rate and hardware sensor readings while you play.
NVIDIA FrameView is free and tracks frame rate, frametime, latency and power draw for any GPU, with a less integrated overlay feature set.
