[SOLVED] Monitoring my cpu and gpu

[thedeadlylordgaming]

Hey i am going to monitor gpu and cpu and i was going to use gta 5 as the test. I was wondering if should put all the settings to max to push my system fully to like see what it does when i give it a hard task. Btw i have a gtx 1080 and a i7 8700 so when i am saying push the system i dont mean like break the system because i am not lagging at all when at max settings i just prefer to bump them down to get a smoother experience.

HWmonitor works well, shows you usage/temps as well as voltage and a few other things.

If you have the game via Steam you can go into the Steam options and turn on the FPS viewer.

Of course! Try the Ultra preset then lower until you get the desired FPS, I would even drop it slightly more when you get it smooth to limit dips (flying through the city can dip it a bit).
