You can even switch the “start with windows” if you’d like, well I would. So once it is opened we need to switch the “Show On-Screen Display” button from Off to On. This is like the base of on-screen display without which you can’t possibly see the textual temperature and usage of CPU/GPU. This new window which just opened is called Rivatuner Statistic Server which is used for showing the textual temperatures and stuff of GPU and CPU in-game or on-screen. Once you’ve clicked the “more” button a new window should open which would looks like this: Click to Enlarge Pic But before you do, you can also tick the “Show On-Screen Display on captured videos and screenshots”, I hopes it’s clear why and you can also assign some hotkeys. So moving on, our job is done in this tab also, now head over to the “On-Screen Display” tab and click on “more”.

Click on GPU Usage, and tick on the “Show On In-Screen Display” present at the bottom, once checked you should see that “In OSD” have been added to the properties of GPU Usage also. Click to Enlarge PicĪlmost same steps for GPU Usage. For this tutorial we are only going to use GPU Temperature and GPU Usage.Ĭlick on GPU Temperature, and tick on the “Show On In-Screen Display” present at the bottom, once checked you should see that “In OSD” have been added to the properties of GPU Temperature. That is the place where we select what to see and not to see in-game. Once there you should see a table-like column under “Advance Hardware Monitoring Graph”. The tab which is related to our task is “monitoring” so click on it and a new tab should open. The currently opened tab has no concern to what we are going to do, except you can tick the “start with windows” and “minimized” if you want it to load itself whenever you boot the system, minimized. So once the program has been opened, you need to click the settings button present at the bottom, and a new window shall open.

Once you’ve downloaded the MSI Afterburner, and are done installing it, it should look something like this (Pardon my catalyst driver version, latest is 14.4) So in case you want to leave the in-game monitoring for CPU, you don’t need HWinfo, but if you need only CPU monitoring, you’ll still need MSI Afterburner, or at least the Rivatuner Statistic Server which comes bundled with Afterburner but can be separately downloaded from here. For part one, where we’ll cover GPU only, you’ll only need MSI Afterburner, but for part two where we will cover CPU only, you’ll need both MSI Afterburner and HWinfo.

HWinfo 32Bit or 64Bit depending on your OS.īoth software titles are free to use.You should know that we are going to do this in two parts, one for monitoring GPU temperature and a second for CPU temperature monitoring, so you can skip either one you’d like.

I would’ve done a video, but you may need more time and it is easier to follow along steps in an article, plus you can ask questions in comments and I can reply and help which isn’t as easy to do via video. That’s pretty much a hassle right? Well what if I tell you there’s a way that you can view both the CPU and GPU temperatures along with average usage in-game?īe prepared because this article is going to be rather a long one on “How to view GPU and CPU temperatures in-game”.

One has to pause their game, and switch to their desktop to open a certain program to view the temperature of the CPU and GPU. This post contains affiliate links, most which go to Amazon and are Geo-Affiliate links to nearest Amazon store.Ī lot of people are curious about what their temperatures might be while they are playing games which as we know puts a lot of load not only on your GPU but your CPU as well.
