FPS Vault is a Windows gaming performance-monitoring application for players who want real-time hardware information inside supported games. It can display FPS, average FPS, 1% low FPS, frametime, GPU and CPU usage, temperatures, clock speeds, power, RAM and VRAM through customizable in-game overlays.

This guide takes you from creating an account to loading your first overlay. Follow the steps in order if you are installing FPS Vault for the first time.

Open the FPS Vault website and select Sign In. New users can create an account directly or continue with an available Google, Discord or Steam sign-in option. Use the same account in the website dashboard and FPS Vault desktop application.

   Open the sign-in page

   Select Sign In from the website header, then choose the registration option if you do not already have an account.

2. 2
   Complete account creation

   Enter the requested details or use one of the available connected sign-in services.

   Open your dashboard

   After signing in, your dashboard shows license information, downloads and account options.

The application download becomes available from your account dashboard after you activate the 7-day demo or purchase a license. Always download the latest available installer from FPS Vault.

New users can try FPS Vault with a 7-day demo. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase and does not require a monthly or yearly subscription. Sign in with the account used on the website so the application can confirm your access.

Important: Keep your login and license details private. If activation fails, confirm that you are using the correct account and that your internet connection is available.

Browse FPS Vault overlay templates or visit the Marketplace to find a layout that matches your game and screen. The Marketplace contains creator designs: some premium designs are free, while other designs may be sold separately.

1. 1
   Browse available designs

   Open Overlay Templates or Marketplace and preview horizontal bars, vertical panels and other HUD styles.

2. 2
   Check the design details

   Review the layout, supported statistics and any price or access information shown on the design page.

   Download the template

   Select the download option and save the overlay template to your computer.

Open FPS Vault and import the overlay file you downloaded. Use the editor to choose which supported statistics appear and adjust the design for your screen.

Keep FPS Vault running, then launch a supported game. When the game reaches its rendered gameplay view, use your configured hotkey if the overlay is not already visible. FPS Vault is intended to show the performance overlay in-game rather than across the Windows desktop.

Anti-cheat notice: FPS Vault does not attempt to bypass anti-cheat protection. Overlay functionality may be limited or disabled in protected games. Compatibility can also vary with rendering API, launcher and display mode.
