Re: Warning for those with EVGA cards and/or using RIVA TUNER STATISTICS SERVER [RTSS] (please Sticky)

I use a second monitor to put graphs.  It works so much better than an overlay because I can see the history of about the last 5~10 minutes.

If you really want the overlays though you can disable Origin in Game.  By disabling OiG you can no longer push Shift+F1 to join friends games quickly and cannot use the coin shop.

This is true for about all overlay programs like RiviaTuner or fraps.

#2 seems like a decent answer.  I remember doing something like that about a year ago but can't quite remember why.. OiG is a good bet though.

I wouldn't want to go back to overlays with a second auxiliary monitor now.  So so handy for graphs, IRC chats, voice comms, a browser window, anything you want.

This game doesn't lock the cursor in fullscreen mode so this toolset is handy.

Here's a forum post describing it for this exact purpose:
