    HWiNFO64/32 or GPU-Z are the best. You only need to ask questions/start threads once.

    i've been using ati tray tools, it has an OSD like fraps to display FPS and an additional "flashOSD" which shows you selected cpu/gpu stats upon keybind press.

    only issues i've found so far is that it doesn't work in dx11 and has issues working with another overlay from an app called "mumble" (kind of like vent or ts3)
