Great step by step guide. TOP TIP: pressing the "X" actually closes the program without minimising it to the system tray. So if you close it, nothing will show up, which is probably why some people say it's not working.
-Make sure you have Msi afterburner still running while playing your game - also some games might not support afterburner automatically or they might mistaken it as some kind of hacking or cheating software, if that’s the case then into your Steam library and right click on your game. Select properties at the bottom, stay on the general tab and in the strip under where it say “launch options” type in the text “-allow_third_party_software” then exit out and start the game again. There’s one other thing you can try if that doesn’t work but it’s a bit more complicated for me to type in
Great and clear tutorial! very helpful thanks!!! is there anyway to see it without being inside a game? like for using editing software or just in normal windos desktop?
If anyone is having trouble getting the OSD to actually come up, try and bind a key to "Toggle On-Screen Display" in the afterburner Settings under the On-Screen Display tab.
Hey I managed to install everything and get the app running fine, but it wont show me the options to see my GPU temps/usage. It only shows the option for the integrated graphics. When I first set it up they appeared fine, but after launching a game they disappeared from the MSI Afterburner settings. Any tip/idea on how I could fix this?
At the top, click on the On Screen Display tab. Click in the Toggle On Screen Display box and press the Scroll Lock key, and click Apply so you can turn the OSD on and off. Note that global hotkeys like this one only function when the Settings menu is closed. You would need to click OK to close this window, have a game running, then press Scroll Lock to turn on the OSD.
I uninstalled it because the frame-rate wouldn't show up, and I missed the On Screen Display option under the monitor tab. Thanks, you helped me figure out where I was going wrong.
Guys, make sure "Show On-Screen Display" on the top left of RTSS is ON (see 5:39). He didn't mention it, but it was off for me and nothing was working hahaha
As i notice, some people can show the graph of something on it. I havent figured it out how. Also, it doesnt show GPU power drawn sadly. Or, does it now? Lucky me, on AMD software, it can show the power drawn.
Nice mate, thank's. I followed all the steps and everything is fine, it really works perfectly but I have only one problem, the CPU temperature function does not appear in the program and not even those for the CPU core, I only have CPU usage, any recommendations ?
For those that still can't get the stats to display, my mistake was I didn't have msi afterburner and rtss running in the background. Minimize to system tray. Changing the display color isn't working for me, though.
For some reason it says my Gpu is at 0% but occasionally ramps up to 20-35% for a split second. I’m still getting great performance but I still want to see the usage percentage. Can someone help?
my afterburner keeps saying "the application has failed to start because its side my side configuration is incorrect", everytime. and i dont know what to do.
One question is, what I want to see is the average frequency of all the P-cores and the average frequency of all the E-cores, not the individual P-core or the E-core, and not the average frequency of all the P-cores combined
You can show info from other softwares like hwinfo or aida64, you just need to install them and then link the sensors that you want to show, Although I never tried to do average clocks of the P-cores and E-cores so not sure on that.
"To extract the files, you need to have 7-Zip." Am I mistaken, or isn't a simple .zip and extract function embedded in all modern windows platforms for the last 30 years? Do you really need 7-zip specifically?
My dedicated GPU is GPU2, what do I do to either change it to 1 or to make Afterburner show me the same options as GPU1? Whenever I'm running a game, as GPU usage is only available for GPU1, it'll show less than 50% usage and its temps don't usually go over 60°, so I think it's actually showing me iGPU performance instead of dGPU
Easy and straight to the point.
Exactly what I was looking for after doing my first build in 11 years! Thank you, great job keeping it focused and simple.
Great step by step guide.

Is there a way of toggling it off and on?
@@toorz7839 I haven't tried it myself but in the options I think there are hot keys you can assign to toggle it on and off.
Dude, I thought it was a bug in my system. But you helped me with something so simple. Thank you very much
No problem

You are a big help and straight to the point
If anyone is having trouble getting the OSD to actually come up, try and bind a key to "Toggle On-Screen Display" in the afterburner Settings under the On-Screen Display tab.
Great job on the guide! Thank you!
Excellent video. Just to add in the On-Screen Display tab in Afterburner properties you can select a shortcut button to turn on/off the OSD.
Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful no cap.
Been my go to for years for overclocking or undervolting my GPU.
you would be a great teacher someday. Thanks for helping us
You made it too easy. Thank you!
This is great tutorial. Straight to the point

What should we do
Bro... this is awesome. Thanks so much!
Big thumbs up!!!!
Thank you bro it really helped
Mine does not show up on screen in game play.
...nice....how do you turn off/on the monitoring OSD while gaming?
At the top, click on the On Screen Display tab. Click in the Toggle On Screen Display box and press the Scroll Lock key, and click Apply so you can turn the OSD on and off. Note that global hotkeys like this one only function when the Settings menu is closed. You would need to click OK to close this window, have a game running, then press Scroll Lock to turn on the OSD.
@@amarabandurupasinghe2389 ..thanks...
How do you change the names. For the fps, cpu and gpu?

I uninstalled it because the frame-rate wouldn't show up, and I missed the On Screen Display option under the monitor tab. Thanks, you helped me figure out where I was going wrong.
same here but how to show or how to solve the issue
still working near 2025. tyvm
make sure to install the riva tuner!
should have been the first thing to do after installing msi after burner in the video tut.
Banger
thanks much. very helpful

Great video.
every windows pc is able to extract files. 7zip is not needed.
Was wondering about this step. I’ve always used the windows built in extract function.
As i notice, some people can show the graph of something on it. I havent figured it out how.
Also, it doesnt show GPU power drawn sadly. Or, does it now?
Lucky me, on AMD software, it can show the power drawn.
thnks bro
Thanks bro.
Thanks big help

same man
thank you! very usefull it works easily
(not a robot Kappa)
thanks!
Thanks for this dude! 💙💫
You forgot to enable VRAM (memory usage) in OSD
Can I make these Metrics be visible even WHEN NOT IN A GAME? on Win Desktop or in Browser?
thanks for not bullshiting
For some reason it says my Gpu is at 0% but occasionally ramps up to 20-35% for a split second. I’m still getting great performance but I still want to see the usage percentage. Can someone help?
perfect
Nice
to the point!
On screen display option is not showing in my laptop anyone know how to fix it? Please help!!!
its not showing for me either smh
same, found solution ?
Sir they don't let me to add framerates. Can you tell me why?
same problem.
my afterburner keeps saying "the application has failed to start because its side my side configuration is incorrect", everytime. and i dont know what to do.
ty
and also i checked the compatibilty list and read the settings for god of war 3 but some of the things were not there
I can't change OSD settings anymore. new settings always reset to an older setting
One question is, what I want to see is the average frequency of all the P-cores and the average frequency of all the E-cores, not the individual P-core or the E-core, and not the average frequency of all the P-cores combined
You can show info from other softwares like hwinfo or aida64, you just need to install them and then link the sensors that you want to show, Although I never tried to do average clocks of the P-cores and E-cores so not sure on that.
mine is only showing cpu1 temp not cpu. help
I dont have cpu temp lol
i did all of it but i launched a game on steam but it dosent show up
What's the difference between this or the nvidia app benchmarks?
"To extract the files, you need to have 7-Zip." Am I mistaken, or isn't a simple .zip and extract function embedded in all modern windows platforms for the last 30 years? Do you really need 7-zip specifically?
