GPU-Z 0.5.0 grabs my PrintScrn button and don't want it to. What to do?

(It blocks my games' ingame grabber function).

Use FRAPS or EVGA Precision for screen capture on an F12 or whatever key to get your screens? Don't run GPU-z while gaming?

A lot of newer games show up black when I try to get a screenshot with Print Screen...so I have adjusted to using Fraps...haven't looked back since...though i rarely take screenshots so for me it's not so important. But you might give Fraps a shot, or evga precision if you have an NV vid card and you want to tune it and have screen shot capability.

No, the game itself uses the prntscr and writes jpegs natively. I'd like to use it, as it is way faster than fraps.

I run GPU-z on secondary monitor to see my temps, I'm tuning my case air circ.

Also, it shows used mem on the GPU (8800 GT), I can tune the game textures and whatever, I also have Intel desktop utils showing the similar info for CPU.

I must admit that the dual head setup is doing something strange from time to time, but nothing is crashing yet...

All this is a little temporary, I can live without the screens =D

A software in beta should get some feedback; IMHO GPU-z should have an option to disable the print screen functionality...

if the popup in gpu-z comes up, check the "do not show again" box
