    Nvidia experience

    "ALT + F1" I think

      This is a quick and easy way to get the info!

    MSI Afterburner

    More complex would be AIDA64 Sensor Panel but can be customised a lot.

    The first google result has 10 options, all of which are mentioned in the above comments

      I was aware that there were MANY different ways of going about it..just wanted to know which is the one people actually use most often. Thanks anyway

        That's not what you wrote in your OP though.

    Afterburner 100%, looks great and it's customizable depending on what exactly you want it to show.

    Don't most games these days have built in stuff for this?

      Only if you have access to the developer console, but even then most games do not have it as a user-selectable settings in options. It's usually a console command that enables it.

      However what the OP wants is hardware information (temps, clock speeds, memory speeds, framerate histogram) these info can only be displayed in game through an overlay.

      example: Xbox Game Bar (Win + G shortcut), Rivatuner / MSI Afterburner, Radeon Overlay (ALT+R shortcut) or Nvidia Geforce Experience.

        This is what I meant. Depends on his use case, but rather use that if it applicable as opposed to wasting a precious 1 or 2 fps to using a fancy overlay :)

    Windows game bar has one too. Press Win+G

    MSI Afterburner. I use this instead of windows game bar. Also allows to control GPU fans speed / and overclock/undervolting if you want to do that.

    Look up Jayz2cent on Youtube and search MSI Afterburner, has an idiot proof guide.

    Steam has an option to show a tiny unobtrusive fps count in the top right.
