Support of RTSS - Displaying HWiNFO sensor values in Games
- Thread starter Martin
- Start date
I checked latest RTSS and there are indeed some new items related to low 1% and 0.1%. I will add reporting of those values into the next HWiNFO build.Perfect, thanks. Can you test it also with RTSS 7.2.3? It should report those values too if the benchmark mode is enabled.
Lastly, those values are meaningful if you are able to start the benchmark mode while in-game. Afterburner seems to be able to do this with a hotkey. If HWiNFO could also start RTSS's benchmark mode with a hotkey that would be great. RTSS 7.3.0 has some hotkey functionality itself but it seems that compatibility with some games might not be as good as 7.2.3

Can I use the OSD without using Rivatuner?
No, Rivatuner is responsible for rendering the items in games.

Hi, im using some values of hwinfo in Afterburner by his plugin ,how i can enable double numbers to see in afterburner ?
im only getting interger numbers of Watts for example from my PSU Power ...
in hwinfo itself its OK ,its in double. in MSI afterbuner its having range 0.0 to 1000.0 but still show only integer like "100" not "100.0" also tryed in cell "format " to write 0.0 still nothing.

EDIT: Paid for a pro license, ticked the "Shared Memory Support" box and all is working again.
@Martin, apologies for being one of these people - I promise I read the post, but it wasn't clear to me that lack of "shared memory support" was the issue.
Hi folks,
I noticed that with the launch of HWINFO v7.00 and later the RTSS OverlayEditor.dll functionality is now broken and RTSS is no longer able to pull any data from HWINFO. However, it's clear that HWINFO is able to output to RTSS when using the "OSD (RTSS)" tab in HWINFO to display individual values to RTSS.
For now I've rolled back to HWINFO 6.42 which still supports the custom overlay. See screenshots below.
HWINFO v6.42 and earlier - the custom OverlayEditor renders all HWINFO data items correctly:
Views of the OverlayEditor Data Sources, HWINFO data sources are all populated correctly with HWINFO v6.42 and earlier:
HWINFO v7.00 and later - the custom OverlayEditor for RTSS is unable to pull data from HWINFO:
Views of the OverlayEditor Data Sources, HWINFO data sources are all N/A with HWINFO v7.00 and later

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO HWiNFO64 COMING SOON
Dear users, Today, I'd like to share with you some important changes coming to HWiNFO (especially HWiNFO64) in the near future. For many years it was possible to maintain this project as an unconditional freeware model and cover the expenses and effort with some income from advertisements and...

Thank you for the clarification. I guess I misunderstood this specific statement in that article “RTSS support built-in HWiNFO will not be affected.”IMPORTANT CHANGES TO HWiNFO64 COMING SOON

but now I understand that relates to the RTSS tab in the settings. Appreciate all the support. I will be buying a license to support development

I did, but I don't really get it, or I wouldn't have asked. The solution is to roll back to version 6.42, but will it be fixed in the next update? When I used up the 12 hours of shared memory, Riva Tuner kept not working.

Short version is:
- if you've built a custom overlay that pulls data in RTSS from HWinfo, that is using the "shared memory support feature" and yes, you're stuck on 6.42 or must pay for 7.0+
- If you want to display HWinfo values in RTSS you still can by using the HWinfo settings and enabling displaying of individual values, but you don't have precise control like you do with OverlayEditor.

But where is that "displaying of individual values" setting? I can't find it, I've rolled back to 6.42 and RTSS overlay is still not appearing in-game.

Open HWinfo sensors panel, gear in bottom right of the main UI - then check off the sensors you want to display in the OSD (RTSS) tab, & tick "Show value in OSD". Still works in 7.0++

That's how I've been doing it for years. But since I updated to version 7 and also updated RivaTuner on the same day, it never worked again. Maybe they've changed something too...

Not sure what to tell you, I'm running RTSS 7.3.1 and HWiNFO 7.00-4400 and it's working for me. I didn't have to do any extra configuring, RTSS running, and check the box... double check hotkeys?
Display in Escape from Tarkov... I have OverlayEditor plugin off.

I apologize; but I am confused. I want to actually do the opposite, Send FPS and other info from the RIVATUNER to hwinfo. Kind of how fraps worked. Is there a way to do this or is the integration only in one direction? Because with the PRO version, I am able to monitor these things on my second machine instead of cluttering my screen with an OSD.
