**THE PRIZES:**
We have 2 main prizes:
An ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 4080 SUPER OC Edition 16GB Graphics Card.
An AMD bundle with the ASUS TUF Gaming RX 7900 XT OC Edition 20GB Graphics Card + an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU.
Whether you’re using the mobile view with your smartphone, enabling OSD for real-time stats in game, or using the plug-in feature, show us how you’re accessing and/or tweaking data in real-time with GPU Tweak III.
**To enter, all you have to do is comment with a photo or screenshot of how you’re using these monitor features.**
It could be a [screenshot of the settings page of GT3 + the OSD (on screen display) of the data shown in game](https://imgur.com/a/Ka1G6DP).
It could even be [a screenshot or photo of the mobile view available in GT3](https://imgur.com/a/qP9JhZI) (You can monitor your GPU in real-time through your phone, without even needing to download an app, simply by scanning a QR code in app).
You pick!

TIPS
Check this example or video if you need tips on how to use Profile Connect/OSD Overlay:
Example: I have [set up GTIII OSD so that it automatically shows me an overlay](https://imgur.com/a/GWkeNYL) when I run [Tekken 8](https://imgur.com/W1TNhBg). I have tweaked the information I want to see when playing the game, and here it is in action:

So this is the screenshot from my phone of the mobile monitoring of the desktop RTX 3060 GPU as it’s processing a video in Topaz Video AI. Allows me to check on the GPU stats even if I am not at the computer.
I like to monitor my GPU stats while gaming from my mobile phone. I have tweaked it so I can see the info while gaming, and the temperature comes first.
I wasn’t going to take a photo, so a screenshot had to do. Also had to do this in window mode since, well, my 1080p monitor had to squeeze it all in. I had it running on two monitors, but then I would have to splice two screenshots. I played a bit with the OSD in-game, and to accommodate Assassin’s Creed: Origins I had to move it to the bottom-right corner. Having the capability to move the OSD is awesome, and I also like how you are enabled with what to view. As can be seen I have a power limit applied since this Radeon AMD Vega 64 can get a bit hot. All is shown, accurately.
What can I say, it worked a treat. For anyone wanting to monitor their hardware, ASUS’s GPU Tweak III is pretty epic. It does what you want it to do, and you can customise it too to suit your on-demand needs. ASUS delivered exceptionally with this app, keep it up.
here is mine. using it mainly to monitor my fps and my cpu + gpu temps. the rest is nice to have, especially gpu voltage usage as tried to undervolt it with GT3.
I love how the default ticked options are all that I just need. The clocks and usage to see if the CPU/GPU are running at full speed. And of course the temps to see if they are within the safe levels.
I really like the classic style. The process of connecting games to both an OC profile and an OSD one is quite nice. I added monitoring of fans because I lived for so long with very loud fans that I don’t feel calm anymore unless I can see low RPMs..
Its not exactly a resource intensive game, but I enjoy playing Jackbox with friends and was curious if/how it put any strain on my system… the answer is pretty much none!
So I used my RTX 3070 Ti for this one. It’s a pretty decent card, except for that VRAM XD. I noticed when I play The witcher 3 on RT ultra with a few settings tweaked, it would stutter and become laggy. So I kinda wanted to try it out on that. Raised the core clock by 100 MHz and the memory clock by 600 Mhz. Honest I am fairly new to GPU OC, haven’t OCd any of the GPUs I own/ed and I didn’t know by how much I could OC the card, so I went by small increments. I kinda noticed better performance and smoother frames but temps are higher than usual and that’s normal. And thank you for the opportunity team PCMR and ASUS.

I am a fan of graphs.
I like to keep the monitor open for example during a game or benchmark and review the customizable graphs – the development of values over time.

Monitoring helps figure out why you get hitches. It’s also great to see usage.
I basically use it as I would use “MSI Afterburner” – to see some stats.

Checking that my PC runs as well as my factory 😉
So I used my RTX 3070 Ti for this one. It’s a pretty decent card, except for that VRAM XD. I noticed when I play The witcher 3 on RT ultra with a few settings tweaked, it would stutter and become laggy. So I kinda wanted to try it out on that. Raised the core clock by 100 MHz and the memory clock by 600 Mhz. Honest I am fairly new to GPU OC, haven’t OCd any of the GPUs I own/ed and I didn’t know by how much I could OC the card, so I went by small increments.
