rtss Frame rate at 0 when not gaming

[Lyfiah]

Hello !

 

I finally finished my sensor panel. So far i'm pretty happy with how it looks, and after some battles with the software i managed to have what i wanted.

I only have one question regarding RTSS implementation for frame rate :

When i'm gaming, FPS are showing flawlessly. So far so good. But when i'm on idle mode, watching youtube or browsing the net for example, my FPS counter doesn't respond anymore and show 0 FPS. Is it normal ?
It's not a really big deal but since everything is left centered, the 0 FPS is particulary misaligned with the box i made around it.
I surely misunderstood something, and since i can't find any guides or tutorial about that problem, i thought someone could explain me what i missed.

Have a nice day !

Yes, that is normal, FPS only works while gaming.

   

There is a clever way to keep any counter centered, I will post it later today.

Olá !

 

Finalmente terminei meu painel de sensores. Até agora estou muito feliz com a aparência e depois de algumas batalhas com o software consegui o que queria.

Só tenho uma pergunta sobre a implementação do RTSS para taxa de quadros :

Quando estou jogando, o FPS aparece perfeitamente. Até agora tudo bem. Mas quando estou no modo inativo, assistindo youtube ou navegando na net por exemplo, meu contador de FPS não responde mais e mostra 0 FPS. Isso é normal ?
Não é grande coisa, mas como tudo fica centralizado, o 0 FPS está particularmente desalinhado com a caixa que fiz em torno dele.
Certamente entendi algo errado e, como não consigo encontrar nenhum guia ou tutorial sobre esse problema, pensei que alguém pudesse me explicar o que perdi.

Tenha um bom dia !

Solving this is quite easy. Here’s how I do it: I create a circle or a grid with the same dimensions and save it with a transparent background. Then, in the Aida64 management options, I select the "custom gauge" option and add the transparent background I created, configuring all 16 steps. After that, I select the sensor, in my case the FPS, and that's it, it will be correctly centered.

How did  you do that to keep any counter centered?

I see you asked the question on April 19 and April was your last login. I will explain the procedure if you come back and respond to this post.

Others might benefit from your reply, @rinaldop. I'd be curious to know. That's the main reason I even bother discussing things on forums anyway.

You posted this on October 3 and your last login was October 3 but I will take the time to describe the process in case you return or for others that made read this thread.

You must make a blank .png file that is the size and shape (circle or square) of the place you want the counter centered and save it. 

Then open Aida64 and create a new gauge using custom frames using that blank image file you made, and have that gauge monitor what you like and have the gauge show value. The value will be centered in there. This is for any  information you want to centralize.

Hm, I just noticed that the way to do this was posted by another great creator in this thread a few posts above your question. I don't know how you missed it.
