About FPS Monitor

FPS Monitor draws an overlay on top of games showing the frame rate along with CPU, GPU, RAM, disk and network readings, so you can see where a bottleneck is without switching to the desktop. It can also warn when hardware is running close to a critical state.

Each sensor can be turned on or off, and font, size, colours and style are configurable. You can add several overlays in different positions. It suits PC gamers checking performance and temperatures while playing.

Strengths

  • Shows FPS and hardware sensors together in the game
  • Highly configurable overlay per sensor
  • Multiple overlays can be placed separately
  • Alerts when hardware nears critical state

Limitations

  • Windows only
  • Closed source
