I love straight to the point videos, and this is one of them.

[@Geekrar]

[@SpittinSquirell]

Thank you! Just got a gaming PC and knew I wanted this for the information but I'm new to pc gaming so I had no idea what to do

[@Geekrar]

Glad I could help! have fun :)

PC gaming is very simple at first, but can get very complicated later down the line. There are so many programs that you can use, so many mods you can install, so many consoles you can emulate. Just make sure you follow the right KZbin channels, and you'll be fine. Some examples are Linus Tech Tips (for general pc stuff), BsoD Gaming (for emulation, specifically Switch, Wii U and PS3), IGN (for game reviews, events, and a lot of gaming related things), Optimum Tech (for hardware reviews, guides and tips)

[@HardHeadMilitary]

The framerate option in OSD is never highlighted. I can get every sensor on the on screen display, except framerate

[@itzd0m55gaming2]

Same with gpu market right now i only able to snag a 1050 ti

[@ThrobbingDew]

A neat trick with the skins selection you are able to use the scroll wheel which makes skimming through the options easier/quicker

[@ivankeys6277]

Bro i built a computer back in October 2021. This video finally helped me get afterburner working properly. Thanks again.

Great video, direct & to the point, Thank You. Once you create how you want it to look do you have to click 'Add' in the lower left or is it saved automatically? You didn't specify?

[@Azzee01]

Great video! I have one question though, Can I use this together with the TUF ARMOURY CRATE? Or should I uninstall it before using MSI AFTERBURNER? Thanks.

[@santiagotroiano2025]

I've got the same question since I cannot see any of the info when playing CS 2 or War Thunder.

[@jays259]

Yo bro thank you so much I just built my first PC cuz I love my PS5 but some games don't come to PS and this was a huge help now I feel like a small part of the so called ( PC MASTER RACE) LOL thanks for the help.

[@porter761]

Would work on other than MSI ?

[@Republic3D]

I'm on 4.6.4 Beta 3, and after I've saved a profile, I can't load it again if I go back to default. It's like there's nothing in the profile.

[@DarkPassenger_777]

Thanks, pretty straightforward.

[@Geekrar]

glad it helped

[@Asian_Noodle]

My temps are reaching 95-105F is that good or bad? Seems really high in my opinion.

[@garybruce4886]

idk if you meant celcius instead but 95-105f is low

[@amarbosanac]

so i should put a checkmark on RAM usage / process? 4:10 in order to get the framerate.. stuff also should i check 'commit charge' ?

[@kevinvasquez34]

Does the pc have to be msi? I wanna install this on my gpd win 4

[@justsxnpai4870]

On rivatuner set the aplication detection level to "high". Idk if it will display ALL the time, but it will on browsers and stuff. I can't check bc I can't get it to display to begin with.

Is there a way to see GPU temperature via msi afterburner? My afterburner do not have GPU temperature options :(

[@ELTWINKY-_-PR]

Is there a way to quickly/easily turn on and off the screen overlay with out having to go to the setting? For example, if I just want to take a quick look at my fps, cpu/gpu temps, etc

[@randymcneely4983]

Default Hotkey to toggle OSD is Ctrl + Z. Hotkey setup found by opening Afterburner and clicking the "Settings" icon (gear), and then select the "On-Screen Display Tab".

you need to ensure that your GPU is compatible, or have the latest drivers

[@frederik4515]

i have a razer blade laptop. afterburner is only able to show gpu temp and nothing else, any fix? i wanna see cpu temp aswell

[@impulse6079]

i cant access fan speed as its not unlocked. any help to how to unlock it?

[@Geekrar]

You have to enable the option in settings menu. >Click the Fan tab> Check the box “Enable user-defined software automatic fan control.” If its not there, it may not be compatible, or you might need to enable the option in your bios

[@impulse6079]

@@Geekrar I also dont have the fan tab?!?
