Replacements
Listings that take over the same core job as RivaTuner Statistics Server.
MSI Afterburner
Widely used GPU overclocking and monitoring tool with on-screen display.
MSI Afterburner adds GPU overclocking and monitoring on top of the RivaTuner overlay, so switching means installing both together rather than a separate standalone tool.
FPS Monitor
An in-game overlay for Windows PCs that shows frame rate and hardware sensor readings while you play.
FPS Monitor is a freemium closed source overlay with configurable per-sensor displays and hardware alerts, but it does not provide a frame limiter.
NVIDIA FrameView
Free frame rate, frametime, latency, and power-draw monitor for any GPU.
NVIDIA FrameView measures frame rate, frametime, latency and power draw on any GPU, but offers no frame limiter and a less integrated overlay.
MangoHud
A Vulkan and OpenGL overlay for Linux games that shows FPS, temperatures, CPU and GPU load.
MangoHud provides an FPS, frame timing and hardware load overlay for Vulkan and OpenGL games, but on Linux only and configured through files and environment variables.
