TechPowerUp OSD Server: new beta build
Over the last weeks I've been secretly working on reviving this project.
Added the ability to select any font from the system and customize colors etc. ![]() Download, run the installer It will enable the OSD in all 32-bit DirectX games (no OpenGL, no 64-bit). You can change settings by clicking the icon in the systray. If you have GPU-Z running it will pick up the GPU-Z sensors and add them to the OSD I'm unsure what kind of customization people are looking for. Also thinking about some sort of auto arrange that takes a few input parameters, but again, unsure of what you want. Last edited by W1zzard; May 24, 2012 at 03:26 PM. |

Now all we need is overclocking added in to gpu-z along with this and we have something better than everything else on the market

I just have the express versions here at home for 2010 so ...
vcsexpress.exe for VC# VCExpress.exe for VC++ vbexpress.exe for VB VWDExpress.exe for Web developer. My full copy of VS 2008 uses devenv.exe.

Since the OSD service has to detect when a 3D app is started to show itself, how about a "Time Played" display? ... or maybe an alarm function where the user could set a time that the OSD would alert them when they reach?
Just some thoughts.

![]() I know it's a longshot since I don't think many people have/use one, but a logitech g15/ g17/etc keyboard display app would be cool too.

OK, crash limited to when GPU-Z is opened after OSD tool.
If GPU-Z is opened first, it's fine.

I think the timer would be more useful than time played. Hate to burn the pizza and chicken wings !!
Maybe a frame rate limiter in case you need one for certain games? (shrug)

I was wondering why I only had 3 settings (current fps, rendering api, time) Then I double checked and I'm running 64bit.
I do like this program and will be very useful in full screen mode to still monitor things since toolbar is gone. I'm guessing at some point there will be 64bit support? |

in what way are you guys arranging your sensors?
right now a very primitive auto arrange is active that messes up custom placement. I'm unsure though how a manual auto arrange should work |

I just leave everything at default. THe footpront of the text is small enough to not be obtrusive with all the sensors enabled.
However, I see that with two GPUs, it swaps between displaying data from each. It is a bit hard to distringuish which GPU is which, or under load, what's actually going on, as my cards run very similar temps and fan speeds. When i get my third card back form RMA, it's going to be worse.

gpuz's shared memory has no support for multiple gpus. so the instances overwrite each other's data.
not on the list of things to get fixed immediately. in a perfect world gpuz would be rewritten to poll multiple cards with a single instance of gpuz and new shared memory layout that has info and sensors for all gpus in the system |

This,
Also, it seems to block steam ingame windows. Apart from that, works fine with my set-up ![]() Edit: windows live messenger (msnmsgr.exe) probably doesnt benefit from this, so i guess it can be added to the exclusions list. Last edited by Mathragh; May 2, 2012 at 04:06 PM. |
