Fix for Geforce Experience Fps Counter not showing up

[Andr]

Hi everyone, this is a simple fix for Nvidia Users with the Geforce Experience fps counter not showing up in game.

Open Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Program Settings > Add SkyrimSE.exe file

And thats it, the fps counter should work now. And also the same method works with every other games that has the same problem :)

Thank you for this! Used this to add PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to view GeForce Experience FPS overlay visibility.

Steam has a built-in FPS counter under options.

Edit: yeah I know that won't help on non Steam games. But all of my games are on Steam so.....

I had this issue with Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, but your solution solved it for me. Thank you so much!

By the way, astroknott58, I think most people prefer GeForce Experience’s fps counter over Steam’s. It just looks better and can be disabled with a simple hotkey.

Just use the built in Steam version......it works. And if these games are not on Steam you can add them to Steam and still make it work for you.

I know this doesn't fix the G-force issue but you will at least have an FPS counter until you get the G-force counter fixed.

thanks

I'm not sure why it isn't working for Dauntless, but it used to work on other games as well. It could be that Geforce Experience doesn't support Dauntless yet or other program is interfering with the overlay (for e.g. GOG overlay won't work for The Witcher 3 until I close MSI Afterburner), see if you have any program running in the background that might interfere with GFE. Also, keep in mind that this post is a year old and many changes and updates has released for geforce experience since then so the same method may not work today.

I had stopped using Geforce Experince since it started giving me the same problem, not showing fps counter in every game and had to add the exe manually in the control panel to fix it so I switched to MSI Afterburner which let me monitor fps, cpu / gpu temp, ram and gpu memory usage, etc

still to this day this is an issue with nvidia experience and to this day this fix works!

I'm still learning so I thought that I would add some info for other noobs (or others having trouble with this). I attempted the addition of the game as explained by Andr, but the FPS counter still wasn't showing up in game (even though I had it set to show up in my Steam In-Game settings).

Finally, I started Skyrim SE (NVidia card w/GeForce Experience installed) and pressed Alt+z for the overlay, clicked the settings icon, clicked HUD layout, then FPS counter, chose the positioning via the "Position:" grid, clicked the Back button, clicked the Done button, and exited the Overlay via the "x". Voilà, I have an FPS counter in SkyrimSE and Skyrim.

Note: I did "Add" the SkyrimSE via NVIDIA Settings (AKA Nvidia Control Panel) as explained by Andr, but if you haven't done this already I would attempt starting your FPS counter via the in-game Overlay first, and then if it still doesn't show up "Add" the game via NVIDIA Settings. As I added the game prior to going throught the Overlay I don't know if adding the game was necessary, though it may be.
