Help with msi afterburner benchmarking

[COWZYOV]

With some games, msi afterburner seems rather inconsistent with benchmarking gameplay; sometimes it’ll benchmark when I hit the benchmark hotkey, sometimes it won’t. This often happens with Gears of War 4. Could it be something to do with it being a direct x 12 game?
Anyone know a solution?

P.s. I know Gears 4 has a built-in benchmarker, but it doesn’t benchmark live gameplay; I’m looking to benchmark live gameplay.

Afterburner supports dx12 games so its not that.

Do you have any overlay active? If so, if the benchmark key doesnt work do you still see the overlay

I keep overlay disabled to maximize performance. So no overlay active usually
