Hi everyone!

I read the rules and I know that for new users the opportunity to talk about their project is limited. But unfortunately I do not know another way to tell about the project which can be useful to the forum participants. This is not spam, and I will be grateful if the forum administration allows me to talk about our program. Thank you.

I'd like to present new app for everyone who likes to monitor stats of hardware while gaming! FPS Monitor - friendly and easy to use application for displaying FPS and other sensors (CPU/GPU/RAM/NET/DRV and 100+ others) in game overlay. The program is ready to use right after installation and always allow you do some precise configuration.

Paid or free? All functionality is free if you use software from our site, and it is only one limitation - we will show a reminder to support developers.

Website: https://fpsmon.com
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/966610/FPS_Monitor/

Basic Functionality:
- FPS (including minimum/average/maximum and frame time).
- Real-time information about CPU, video card, memory, network activity, disks activity and more than 40 other sensors.
- Show sensors information as numbers and/or graphs.
- Notifications about the critical values of all important parameters (like overheat) - you will not miss it.
- Energy consumption sensor (in the presence of a UPS or power supply with such a function).

Easy to use:
- You can customize the interface directly in the app window - add and remove sensors, set limit values, change colors, sizes, fonts, alignment and position of any displayed data.
- Configure the interface before entering the game and check how it looks on top of screenshot or directly in the game.
- Take screenshots plus use hotkeys, picture or text overlays.
- Switch between several ready-to-go presets and create them yourself.

Our solution is so optimized that is using only up to ~0.5% of your CPU power!

Right now, we already have more than 200,000+ users. We continue adding some new cool functionality, so stay tuned!
I will follow the topic, questions and suggestions are welcome!

Thank you!

Ok I bought a copy, looks great! Can I gave a copy of the layout used in the screenshot in the main body of the post? It's perfect, and I'm not very talented at making pretty things ;)

Thank you for support :)
New scenes are coming in one of future upgeades soon!
 
We have created amazing new charts that will help you keep track of the most important data even more clearly than anywhere else!

 
So can you tell me, why when removed through add and remove programs, the program folder stays intact, fpsmon continues to load at startup and the program folder cannot be manually deleted because of fpsmon64.dll and fpsmon32.dll. Also the reason I decided to remove it in the first place is the constant popups on every startup asking me if I want to try or buy it, I did want to try it, I don't want it to constantly force me to close 2 popup notifications every time I boot my PC during that trial. It is time and funtion limited that should be enough. Looks like adware, acts like adware, hopefully the rep can explain.

Probably you tried to remove the program without exiting it and adding it to the autoload (check it in the settings). What you describe should not be if you correctly remove the program. Try again, if it does not work out - reboot your PC and remove it without launching the program.

In the first versions, we limited the functionality if the program was not purchased and, due to numerous requests from users who wanted to try all the functions, we redid it, removing all restrictions and leaving only a reminder that the program could be bought to support its development.

I exited the program before I uninstalled it, it might have been added to auto load, that's regardless, when I exit the program and click uninstall I don't expect to have it start up again as normal upon next restart, surely you should have something written into the uninstaller to end all of the related processes and delete autostart entries when an uninstall takes place?

I'd defo prefer a time limited trial, even 7 days would be sufficient.

Nice app. Will be nice to use something more sophisticated than the aging Fraps, which can cause issues in some games. Will try it out later. :)

Each user may have their own preferences, we understand that. But after 2.5 years of the program’s existence, I’ve heard for the first time the opinion that any restrictions (especially in terms of time) are good :) And yes, I don’t know about the problem with deletion either, although I have read thousands of reviews from 600,000+ thousand of our users. Sorry you had a problem.

Did you manage to remove the program?
 
I had to reinstall Windows a few weeks ago and all I'm getting now is 'Waiting for hardware initialisation' from FPS Monitor, so no info is being shown.

Win7?

Q: I have problems with FPS Monitor on Windows 7.
Most likely you need to install an update for 64 or 32bit Windows 7:
Or maybe you will find anser in F.A.Q.: https://steamcommunity.com/app/966610/discussions/0/2521353993645195444/
 
How come it is £9.29 on steam and only $9.95 on the website? surely both prices should be the same.

Windows 10 x64
The problem is with an HWInfo conflict. If I quit HWInfo, the sensors show.
Is there a workaround, because I simply don't want to lose my HWInfo system tray sensors every time I run FPS Monitor?
 
Any news on G19s support?

Guess that's why Valve don't make games anymore. It looks nice but i'm not paying nearly a tenner for something i probably wouldn't use much. I'm not really fussed about my temps anymore.
 
Seems a bit unfair that you pass the costs of using steam as a distributor to your customers. Usually in business those would be costs you'd absorb :-/

I will ask about it :)

We are working on it, but you can use FPSMonitor's vidget on your desktop.

We are just a small team of 3 people who are trying to make good software and at the same time feed their families. Prices are selected in such a way that the existence of the program would be justified and we could develop it further. And as you can see, in addition to the development, we support the huge (more than half a million) army of our users, most of whom use the program for free.

So the cost for me is about £3 more on steam than the website, I'll pass. It seems after you said was it 300,000 users, you must be doing more than enough to feed your families.

There are much more users, but this is the total number, not the number of those who purchased the license :)

I'd rather you fixed the HWInfo conflict, to be honest as I really don't want another vidget to play with.

Nah, normal business practise, pass on all costs to the end user, nothing to see here.
