FPS Monitor is a Windows program that tracks PC hardware state and displays readings in an in-game overlay. It shows an FPS counter alongside information about the CPU, GPU, RAM, HDD, and network connection, helping reveal potential bottleneck components. Users can configure sensor fonts, size, style, colors, and rendering options, switch sensors on or off, and create multiple overlays. The program can collect hardware usage statistics for a selected period and save them to a file for analysis. Hardware Alerts warn in the overlay when hardware reaches a dangerous or near-critical state. FPS Monitor is paid software with a free demo; purchasing a license removes demo restrictions. Steam lists Windows 7, 1 GB RAM, a graphics card, DirectX 11, and 15 MB storage as minimum requirements, with administrator rights mandatory. The maker offers email and website-widget support.
