    Be aware that whatever is shown in the EVGA PrecisionX 16 Server list gets excluded from OSD..You'll see that the list is an "/ExcludeList" located in the Program Files (x86)\EVGA\PrecisionX 16\Profiles\precisionxserver.cfg file..Simply delete anything in the list that you want to show OSD..Maybe that is the problem..You can also add a program/game/application (such as Windows Media Player) to the list to exclude it from OSD if you don't need/want OSD shown in a particular program/game/application.

    5.2.3 is supposed to work with Win8/8.1 but who knows, it might not work right for you like it don't work right for many others, the newer versions of Precision have been very buggy and it's still being worked on..Maybe try an older version for now, maybe 4.2.1 with RivaTuner Statistics Server 6.2.0 and see how it rolls..Or MSI Afterburner which has more features.

    For OSD, yes..What problem(s) were you having with it?

    You need to go into the menu, and bind the keys and make sure they are all enabled. I had this issue at first, and it took a few seconds to figure out. I am currently unable to post screen shots, but use the yellow arrows to scroll and get the option menu, then click osd... At this point, notice there are two pages (the part I missed for a little bit) and you have to configure both pages.

    If my memory serves me correct, there is a third setting that needs to be changed, to get osd highlighted, but I can not remember where it is at this time.

    Once I get back to my computer, unless completely tanked for the night, I will try to get you screen shots if you haven't found the settings already.

    Also be aware, what ever keys you bind to OSD Will(!) become disabled in Windows. It can get frustrating to figure out which key bind works perfect for you. I think I used F5 F6 F7 and F8 in the end.

    It usually messed up Xsplit Gamecaster.
     
    Scarlet, as far as I know I have done what you said, I use CTRL+F1 to toggle the OSD, but if rivatuner is needed then I'll not bother, Gamecaster gives me my FPS already, so there's no need for two separate programs doing the same thing.

    I am at my PC, so if you are around, we can try to figure this out.  I don't use Riva either.  just want to make sure your settings are working for you.
     

     

     


     
    These are my current settings in 5.2.3, and I have not tested it yet.  I just now downloaded it, so I will test it now and see if it all works.

    YAHTZEE!!!!!!!!!!! ok ok ok...
    On the bottom left, I marked OSD Earlier.. Right below it is GRAPH.. Click that, and Highlight the GPU so that it will display.. I KNEW it was another setting that I had to click...   You will need to use the monitoring data to adjust each section that is displayed.. I am really sorry it took me so long to get this for you.

     
    Without the Graph settings:
     

     
    With the graph settings :-)

    It took me a while. I do believe that this could come with a manual honestly. Just a brief talk about how to operate the menus and where things, like the OSD control, could be located.

    Hello,
     
    Apologies for updating an older thread. I have verified my OSD setting match those kindly provided by Scarlet-Tech (in this thread) but the OSD is not displaying within games.
     
    It previously worked when I had only 1 GTX Titan installed. Since adding a GTX Titan Black as a secondary GPU (not in SLI), the OSD no longer works. Is this expected behavior?
     
    My GPUs are installed in the following configuration (SLI is not enabled):
     
    Primary GPU (slot closest to CPU): EVGA Geforce GTX Titan
    Secondary GPU: EVGA Geforce GTX Titan Black SC
     
    My single LCD screen is connected to the DVI-D port of the GTX Titan (i.e. the primary GPU mentioned above). 
     
    Thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
     
    EDIT: The OSD is displaying within some Windows applications (which I fixed by adding to those applications to the exclusion list). Still no OSD in games though.

    I can't get it to STAY on for Far Cry 4. The OSD fires up as it should when the game launches, but when you have to choose to "log in" the OSD disappears and nothing I can do gets it to come back.
     
    Any ideas?

    Does Battlefield 4 work when starting precision X (newest version) first with OSD, or is the entire BF4 screen still ZOOMED in?

    Scarlet-Tech could you please be so kind as to link the thread in which that Far Cry 4 issue with the OSD popping up then disappearing is resolved? I'm having the same with a lot of my games, such as Dota 2 and Dragon Age Inquisition.

    I'm asking because I'm having similar problems with my OSD. It's not working in Dragon Age Inquisition or Dota 2. Haven't tried it in any other games.
    The old version worked in Dota 2 and most other games, but I had a streak of games where it didn't work (Far Cry 4, Lichdom: Battlemage and Dragon Age Inquisition) so I decided to update Precision X and RivaTuner Statistics Server. And that seems to have been the wrong decision.

    BobNoxious.................Its working fine, BF4 is normal, but the FPS display is double of what it really is. I use a GTX750Ti and the OSD shows 190 fps!

    I am pretty sure NVidia disabled overclocking on mobile gpus. You need to go back to an older driver. Try that first.
