CLUSTER OVERLAY-CPU-DISPLAYS · 15 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-03-18

Gaming performance overlay utilities

This cluster consists of Windows desktop utilities that overlay real-time system performance metrics—FPS, frame time, CPU/GPU load, temperature, and memory—on top of games. The dated entry history before the index start shows five entries spread irregularly from March 2022 to July 2026 (one each in 2022-03, 2025-09, 2026-03, 2026-05, 2026-07), offering too thin a pattern to discern a clear growth trend. In terms of traction, GHub leads with 3 stars, followed by FramePulse with 1 star and Wisp with 0.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 15 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
