    Guys,
    I need a little help here. I was using OSD performance displays in games with HWinfo64, MSI Afterburner (RivaTuner Statistics Tuner). It was all working and showing all display values that i had enabled, then magically it stopped showing an option under RTSS for FPS... any ideas?

    Make sure FPS counter is turned on in MSI AB (OSD tab in settings) or standalone RTSS (check 'show own statistics') depending on which one you're using.

    If "Show own statistics" got turned off in RTSS somehow, that might cause the problem.

    Edit: LOL, stepped away to get a screen shot and missed octiceps post until I refreshed the web page. Basically, what he said.

    You do not need the FPS counter sensor enabled in Afterburner or Precision X to get the FPS data. Simply having RTSS installed and the "Show own statistics" turned on gives me a FPS counter even without Afterburner or Precision X running puts a FPS counter on my game screen with nothing but RTSS working, and it also shows up in HWiNFO64 sensors.

    Thanks guys, those alternatives worked also. The thing is tho, the sensor is in HWinfo64 and only seems to work when it wants to, now it is running again...

    i had this problem: did you have auto start checked in the options? if so just uncheck it, save, then recheck it and it should be ok....strange this happens even when i uninstalled it and then installed a new version later.

    i did as above and now the HWinfo stats are showing for me.
