    Has anyone got this one to recognise any of the Windows 7 GPU Drivers? If so, which ones and how did you do it?

    Has anyone managed to get the RivaTuner On Screen Display (OSD) to work in Windows 7 during games?

    For example showing CPU Core usage, FPS, HDD temps etc

    This is what I use to benchmark when I do performance testing but the text doesn't show up during games.

    I think it will be interesting to compare gaming performance of Windows 7 and XP at some point.

    I am unaware of the usage of Rivatuner with windows Vista+, but for the record you will not be able to see OSD things like framerates for DirectX 10 based apps as these programs were designed for DirectX 9 and earlier.

    You will have to wait until newer versions of these apps (such as Rivatuner, Fraps, ATi Tray Tools, etc.) are released before they will support the such as DirectX 10. That's about as much as I know to tell you as of right now. It may be the same as the detecting of GPU's with the newer OSes and drivers. Newer versions may need to be developed and released first.
