Hardware monitor for gamers
Visor shows your CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, drives, network, display and FPS live on one screen, explains every number in plain English, and points out the settings that are quietly costing you frames.
Everything Visor shows
No more four tools and a wall of tables. Each part has its own color, the numbers are big, and every value comes with a plain-language explanation of what it means.
What can be read depends on your hardware. Some motherboards don't report fans or voltages, and some laptops hide certain sensors. Visor shows what your PC reports, and tells you plainly when something can't be read.
Smart Check
Plenty of gamers pay for a 165 Hz monitor and fast RAM, then never get either, because Windows or the BIOS kept a default. Smart Check finds these in seconds, explains why they matter and shows how to fix them.
Example: 3 things worth fixing. Fix them and the score climbs right away.
Your 165 Hz monitor is set to 60 Hz Important
Windows often falls back to 60 Hz after a new monitor or a driver update, so the picture is less smooth than your monitor can do. One click to fix, and it can be undone.
RAM runs at 4800 MT/s, rated for 6000 Important
XMP / EXPO is off in the BIOS. Visor walks you through turning it on, but never touches the BIOS for you.
GPU linked at PCIe ×4 instead of ×16 Worth a look
Usually the card is in the wrong slot. Visor measures under load, because cards slow their link down at idle to save power.
“Power saver” plan while gaming Worth a look
Your CPU is being held back. Switch to a performance plan in one click, and switch back any time.
CPU slowing itself down from heat (thermal throttling) Important
Flagged when it happens, with the usual causes: dust, dried-out thermal paste or a fan that has stopped.
In-game overlay · Pro
Visor's overlay is a transparent, click-through window that stays on top. No DLL injection, no DirectX hooks, no reading game memory. Frame rates come from PresentMon, the open-source tool many benchmarking apps rely on.
Works best with games set to Borderless or Windowed (most games today). Some games in exclusive fullscreen may draw over the overlay.
Free vs Pro
Free shows you everything and what looks wrong. Pro adds the fixes, the in-game overlay, history and alerts, on 2 PCs. No subscription, and a 7-day free trial first.

Safe and private
Visor is built to read, not to tinker. A monitoring tool should never be the thing that breaks your PC.
No fan control, no overclocking, no voltage changes. Visor reads what your hardware reports and shows it to you.
One-click fixes only touch safe Windows settings: display refresh rate, power plan and Game Mode. Each one asks first and comes with an undo.
Your hardware details and sensor readings stay on your PC. Visor only goes online to activate and check a Pro license.
Some sensors, like per-core CPU temperatures, voltages and motherboard fans, can only be read through a kernel driver. Visor has no driver of its own; it uses PawnIO, a signed open-source driver that replaces the old WinRing0 driver Windows Defender flags as risky.
PawnIO is not bundled in our installer. The app asks first, then opens the official installer from pawnio.eu if you agree. Without it Visor still works, with fewer sensors.
We built Visor to stay under 2% CPU and 150 MB of RAM while it updates every second, because a monitor shouldn't be what costs you FPS.
FAQ
Visor is a real-time hardware monitor for Windows 10 and 11. It shows CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard, storage, network, display, battery and in-game FPS, explains them in plain language, and its Smart Check finds settings that cost you frames. It is made by Tetono in Thailand, free to use, with an optional one-time Pro upgrade for US$2.99.
Visor is designed not to touch your game at all: no DLL injection, no graphics hooks and no reading game memory. The overlay is just a transparent window on top, and FPS comes from PresentMon, which reads data from Windows rather than from the game. We can't guarantee what every game's developer decides, but Visor does none of the things anti-cheat systems look for.
PawnIO is a signed, open-source driver used to read low-level sensors such as per-core CPU temperatures, voltages and motherboard fans. It is optional: Visor works without it, with fewer sensors. If you agree, the app opens the official installer from pawnio.eu, and you can remove it any time from Settings › Apps.
Free includes the live dashboard for every part, full specs, and Smart Check with every finding and a health score. Pro, a one-time US$2.99, adds step-by-step and one-click fixes, the in-game overlay, history and per-game reports, alerts, accent themes, a tray widget and a watermark-free spec card, on 2 PCs.
Visor only reads sensors and draws the results; it runs no heavy background work. Our target is under 2% CPU and under 150 MB of RAM while updating every second, and it stops reading everything when you exit the app.
