  1. What in game overlay is this?


    I have an unknown in game overlay active and I don't know where it is from, how to turn it off, or how I turned it on. I already know it isn't related to Steam, Nvidia, or Alienware. It shows up in almost all games I play.

    :)

    Radeon Overlay not displaying all options

    Ok, I got a question. The options to hide the overlay are confusing. What are the steps to turn on the overlay in-game? Not interested in logging much at the moment. Is Alt-R part of turning it on/off?

    "can't open ms-gaming overlay link"

    I keep getting an error message when starting some games: "can't open ms-gaming overlay link"

    None of the suggestions I found on google were helpful, like disabling the XBox gaming bar or the Steam's overlay.

    Nothing works.

    What in game overlay is this?

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
