RTSS Overlay Editor Megathread

How can I add CPU Clock? On Data Source there's nothing available on HWInfo or AIDA and there's no other place to choose a source for this data. I've tried everything. I just need CPU Clock and CPU Power to make ir perfect for me.

 

my bad , thought you meant something else , ok ...shame wouldve been cool

 

This is a small thing but I thought it was neat so I'll share it.

By simply copying a layer, moving it to the bottom (End key), and then nudging it (Shift + arrow keys) you can create a sort of drop shadow behind your text. It's a nice way of making your text stand out a bit more without having to put a box behind everything.

Probably not very efficient since you're literally displaying all data twice in the overlay, but since the hypertext limit got raised it's likely not an issue even for more detailed overlays.

 

Hello guys!

I'm new here, and I would like possible help with a question (difficulty) I've been having for a few WEEKS.

I own a Ryzen 9 5900X along with an RX 5700 XT (Sapphire's Nitro+ model)

And it's been a few weeks since I saw an overlay used by the folks at SapphireTechnology, with blue and red colors, and I thought that overlay was just beautiful.

Since then I have been researching how to "create" an overlay to use in Afterburner, but without success.

English is not my native language and I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding how I could do something like that.

I apologize in advance, but I would like to know if anyone here on the forum would be willing to make an overlay for me IDENTICAL to the one used in SapphireTechnology, obviously I am willing to pay for such work.

Because I honestly haven't been able to do an overlay like that and it honestly has been frustrating me for almost 1 month.

If anyone can help, I ask PLEASE! get in touch with me so we can arrange the details.

 

Can you share your overlay file please?

 

Hello, what do you recommend for displaying "GPU performance limit" in one field? Can I make overlapping text layers that show nothing if the data is 0 and show some text otherwise? I guess I could do it with sprites but that's a bit too much work.
Edit: I thought about another dirty workaround, multiply the value by 10000000, make a layer for each limit: "power %power limit%" and put it half off-screen so it is hidden if the value is 0, but shows "power" or whatever the reason is if the value is 10000000. Is there a less dirty way?

 

Is there any way of adding current display refresh rate to the OSD? The one on which the application window with the OSD is being shown.

Some gauges in action

 

Hi, I've been reading a lot but I couldn't find an answer, sorry if I've missed something.

I wonder if it is possible to have a graph which would record the instantaneous framerate over a longer period of time, like 1-5 minutes. The normal framerate/frametime graphs are very good for finding problems like stutter, but since they only show the previous few seconds (I think it is one sample per frame?) they are not so good for finding issues like framerate drops in certain areas. If I could have a graph that is more like 1 sample per second,or 1 sample per 500ms, that would be amazing.

Perhaps this could be a use-case for different update rates on graph objects? (I know that the value currently only applies for animation) Perhaps I could use a correction formula to slow the sample rate? I don't know.

I've been taking some time to migrate my layout from MSI afterburner to the new layout editor and I must say, it's really good! I just have this one last dream left for my perfect OSD Thanks for any advice!

 

In MSI AB open Settings go to Monitoring tab, scroll down.
enable "Log History to file" and set a filename if needed. Disable again if you don't want to log constantly.
Below set Hotkey for "Begin logging" and "End logging".

After you have logged a session, you can then click on the "View" button on that Tab to load and review saved sessions.

 

Thanks, but I'm after something for the Overlay Editor so I can monitor in real time.

 

RTSS click setup,
Scroll down in general tab
Checkmark in benchmark mode
Click plugin beside general tab
Click hotkey handler dll
Under benchmark set hot key for
Begin record
End Record
With the hotkeys benchmark mode all is also recorded to a file

In overlay editor pick and choose what you want to display
Frame times / benchmarking
<FT>                Frametime in milliseconds with one decimal (e.g. 16.7)
<FR>                Framerate. Select "Display integer framerate" option in RTSS to round to integer.

Thanks mate. I saw your 2077 gauges last night when I was researching this on youtube, so I've already seen your video Nice work!

I already have the graphs working, but what I'm after is a slower scrolling graph. The one we have now, plots a point for each frame, so let's say it is 200 pixels wide, at high framerate it will be under 1 second long. This is great for seeing detail like stutters, or small repeated bumps caused by polling applications, etc.... But I'd also like to be able to look for things like "I get about a 20fps drop when I go in this room", or "when I ADS I lose 7FPS every time", and the time-frame for such events is far longer than a second or two.

I'd like a graph that shows a longer history, for example instead of plotting one point for each frame, it plots one for each polling interval. If this were our 200pixel graph, updating once per second, now we would have enough room for over 3 minutes. The data will be more coarse and detail like stutter will be lost, but it will be useful for other things, so that's OK.

This is just one example of how I might accomplish such a thing. Slower sampling does not have to be the way. For example, if I could scale the graph, I could make a graph 8000 pixels wide and scale it 2.5% and now I have my 200 pixel graph, but it will have 8000 frames of data in it.

I...am basically imagining ways to do it because I'm not sure how to do it in reality, or if it's even possible?

 

It was not my intention to move this module from Afterburner to RTSS, but to have RTSS overlay plugin display the existing data from Afterburner, in a different way. Just the same graph as we have above, same Afterburner plugin for RTSS overlay editor, all the same except scrolling slower, so I can see the graph beyond a few seconds.

I feel like I must be explaining this badly because nobody understands. Sorry about that. I will try to find a video example.
