Displays detailed 1% and 0.1% lows to identify stuttering. It often includes a frametime graph to visualize frame delivery consistency.
RTSS and MSI Afterburner are actively developed. Newer versions often bring important bug fixes, improved compatibility, and support for the latest hardware. For example, RTSS includes enhanced DLSS 4 support via an extended PresentMon build, which can be crucial for users with RTX 40‑series GPUs. Beta versions are typically shared on the Guru3D forums by Unwinder himself.
