The functionality is buried man... come on. I mean sure RTFM... but something as simple as this seems buried to me. Its also jenky one is required to record to get it...

I dont even install RTSS in the first place... ;)

So, yeah, regardless of digging deep to find it, its not intuitive to reach this feature.

Yup. RTFM . I know....ultimately its the users fault.

But at the end of the day, the creator of the program had to post how to do it so, yup! Sticking with unintuitive. :)

Also, i never said awful , the creator of the program said that. i think its a useful program, its just that this function was VERY hard to enable. its just criticism, im not saying the program is $hit

If you don't install RTSS, any functionality depending on the server (OSD, Videocapture, Screencapture, Benchmarking) will be simply unavailable in MSI Afterburner GUI. That's a modular application architecture aimed to help who believe that overlay part is causing instability on their system. So you may always exclude RTSS from installation, if you find it reasonable.
And once RTSS is installed, even if you don't read the release notes, the context help for new options in "Benchmark" tab is giving you exactly the same hints on this feature usage pattern. All you have to do is to spend a couple minutes on reading description for new option before enabling it. ;)

choose to ignore or take the criticism, im just saying a LOT of people had trouble finding this feature...you can do what you wish obviously. Id think you would take this as a good feedback and move forward. best of luck with your endeavors.

I get it... all of it. And mad respect for an overall great application. :)

However this feature is buried an it is not intuitive to reach.

I only use it to adjust clocks so never a need for the 'back end' rtss.

Could it not be made as a standalone?

you can DL & install RT on its own. and according to the Tooltips if you enable "show own statistics" it will work in standalone without any other app required, using its own OSD & FPS counter

Benchmarking Software - Show how many Frames Per Second (FPS) you are getting in a corner of your screen. Perform custom benchmarks and measure the frame rate between any two points. Save the statistics out to disk and use them for your own reviews and applications.

Hahaha, I hear you man. :)

As far as fraps, I wasn't sure and just regurgitated what jboyd posted a screenshot of. :)

I could honestly care less about M/M/Avg numbers on screen. OSD's annoy me. Id rather play for a while and come back to text results. But, been playing this game for decades and its old hat at this point. I just play games for the most part. ;)

You also need to ensure you have the following checkbox ticked in RivaTuner: "Enable Benchmark mode"
