I just leave mine on the default of Control + B.

The next tab you won't need to do much, but it does allow you to edit the hotkey that toggles the OSD. You can also use this to show fps, just like Fraps To enable one of the statistics, first, make sure that the check beside it is checked, then click on it, and then check the 'Show in On-Screen Display' option down below. Next is the most important feature of this tab, and this is what makes things actually show up on the OSD. This is very handy when trying to diagnose a crash or other problems, as you can check the time stamps and look for abnormalities. Next we have the option to log the values. Setting this to a low value is unnecessary as it causes lag, bad performance, and really isn't necessary. We can set which values we want to be monitored in the monitoring tab of afterburner.Īt the top of the tab you have a Hardware polling period, which is how often Afterburner polls the gpu stats. It's primary purpose is to allow you to monitor gpu statistics while in a game or fullscreen application.įor all of the following examples I will be using Msi afterburner. It comes bundled with Msi Afterburner, Evga Precision X, and more. Rivatuner On Screen Display (OSD) is one of my favorite little features of many overclocking programs.
