Suggestion - RivaTuner statistics server / MSI afterburner overlay support

Post by nKlar »

Hello!
It would be nice to have RTSS support in primocache. Just to monitor the usage of the cache.

If I understand correctly, you mean showing which files are using the cache, right?
However, PrimoCache is a block-level (disk-sector-level) caching program. It monitors disk sectors, and don't have any file information about these sectors. It's not easy to support such feature, though we are looking for solutions about this.

Not really. I mean the stats you already have in the PrimoCache GUI:

Like in the HWiNFO software. Then it is possible to see the data from your GUI as an overlay.

It will be useful in benchmarking and simply in everyday use.

Thank you very much for your correction and the example! We didn't know this before.

RTSS is pretty common among gamers (who are a big part of the performance enthusiast market). :) I myself use it, though I never considered adding a hook for Primocache to view cache stats. I guess it's a question of how easy it would be to add the hook and pass stats to RTSS. It could be useful, though on a system with a properly configured cache you don't usually go in to check stats all the time.

I would love something like this, especially if the hook could be universal and also apply to something like Rainmeter.

We still have many more important features/tasks to do. I'm sorry that this feature request is not given high priority.
