TechPowerUp OSD Server Beta Thread

W1zzard · Mar 18, 2011

First build attached.

- At this time it draws only FPS in the top left corner

No installation necessary, just unpack and run the exe and leave it running. To quit, look for the TPU icon in your systay.

LOL, W1zz, joining the fray with MSI AB vs FRAPS vs PlayClaw are we?

I'll test it out as long as it doesn't corrupt my saves.

been working on it for a long time, this is complicated stuff, and it's still far from production ready

MoonPig · Mar 18, 2011

Is this going into GPU-z or Trixx?

Just tried GTA IV, didn't load.

Edit, 2nd load, it works. Would it be possible to maybe half the refresh rate?

probably

Mussels · Mar 18, 2011

oh hell yes w1zzard, brilliant idea.

edit: working fine in starcraft II, which is ofc DX9. FPS doesnt quite match up with the in game one, but that could be timing differences.

Crashes HL2 engine in CSS. Black screen when enable with game loaded, and failing to produce overlay when started before game load.

Win7 x64 SP1. Newest Nvidia driver. Current HL2 engine and fully updated Steam client.

Luke · Mar 18, 2011

I can't get it to run in any of the games i have tried so far (Including StarCraft2)
I do have crossfire and 2 screens if that makes a difference

Wrigleyvillain · Mar 18, 2011

Kick ass W1zz!

bbmarley · Mar 18, 2011

also no luck getting it to work here could be eyefinity problem?

some ideas, change colour / move anywhere not just have it sat in any corner.

Athlon2K15 · Mar 18, 2011

works with gtaiv and citiesxl 2011

W1zzard · Mar 20, 2011

new build uploaded to first post

Mussels · Mar 20, 2011

i liked the TPU icon better than the new one.

Black Panther · Mar 20, 2011

So far I checked it with 2 games.

Works fine with Fallout: New Vegas.

But in Dirt II it didn't show any fps in the top right corner, nothing, as if the program wasn't running at all.

W1zzard · Mar 20, 2011

dirt 2 dx9 or dx11 ?

Mussels · Mar 20, 2011

i can confirm version 0.03 works in dragon age II in DX11 (actual DX11, not DX11 path in DX10 mode)

Crashes TF2 (Team Fortress 2) when game switches into 3D mode.

Win7 x64

Orbmu2k · Mar 20, 2011

Great work W1zzard!

The upcoming release of nSpector will add support for it.

W1zzard · Mar 20, 2011

tf2 works for me (in the menu), didn't try in-game yet

YES it works in TF2, I had ATItraytools running and it was causing the crash.

So your new tool and ATT don't get along.

Works nice though.

in BC2 you can see here it goes to corner of middle screen and shrinks itself a little both in sp/mp

edit just tried MOH works fine in that to
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/7969/moh2011032020270732.jpg SP
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8143/mohmpgame20110320204357.jpg MP
edit again this seems to be a SP / MP difference with the FPS going to middle screen corner in MOH
