The afterburner overlay is a visual element that displays information about your computer's performance during gaming. It can be used to track various metrics like frame rate, CPU usage, and GPU temperature. To show the afterburner overlay, you need to:
-
Open the RivaTuner Statistics Server (RTSS) application: This is the software that controls the afterburner overlay. You can usually access it by right-clicking on the RivaTuner Statistics Server icon in your system tray.
-
Navigate to the "Overlay" tab: This tab contains the settings for the afterburner overlay.
-
Enable the overlay: You can typically find this option under the "General" or "Overlay" section.
-
Customize the overlay: You can choose which information to display, its position on the screen, and its appearance.
Example:
- To display the frame rate, select the "Framerate" option in the "Overlay" tab.
- To change the overlay's position, drag and drop it to the desired location on your screen.
- To customize the overlay's appearance, you can adjust its size, color, transparency, and font.
Note:
- Some games may have built-in performance overlays that you can enable through the game's settings.
- The afterburner overlay can impact performance, so it's best to use it only when needed.
