I tried to google this question and found no answers, expect from 1 person who claimed data polling (monitoring) can eat up resources.Īlso - should I un-check and disable (remove the checkmark) some of the options in Monitoring to improve performance? I don't want to lose even a few frames - if I can avoid it.īut since everything is monitored by default, it may cost no fps at all. SLI Sync Limit, GPU VID usage, GPU FB usage, GPU Bus usage, GPU OV Max limit, GPU utilization limit and a bunch of other stuff.ĭoes the MSI Afterburner monitoring affects and reduces performance?ĭoes it eat up gpu/cpu resources or perhaps even cause crashes? I am familiar with some properties, but for many of them I have no idea what they mean:

I am afraid it may reduce my pc overall performance, however slightly. Gpu, fans, temps, cpu, ram, pagefile etc.

So I lead to assume the software monitors everything: It seem everything is turned on with 'V' checkmarks by default - under 'graph'. I have noticed that the new version of MSI Afterbuner's Monitoring Tab has much more options than before (and more than Precision X). I use Logitech G510 LCD display to measure temps, fan speeds, fps, clock and memory MHz, and GPU usages - for both cards. I am using MSI Afterburner to monitor my GPU as well as a screenshot tool and to apply a small overclock. I do everything I can to optimize performance including not running background stuff, cleaning the pc, optimizing the drive (trim/defrag) and more.
