About this tag
Intel PresentMon is a Windows performance monitoring tool for measuring frame rates, frame times, and game smoothness, and this tag collects coverage of its releases and capabilities. The supplied content highlights PresentMon 2.6.0, which Intel released on September 21 and promoted shortly after. That version targets monitoring overhead, reporting a 78 percent reduction in CPU usage so the tool consumes less of the processor the game needs, and it adds a Game Experience overlay preset focused on how smooth gameplay feels rather than raw frame counts alone. It supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 and works with DirectX 9, DirectX 11, DirectX 12, OpenGL, and Vulkan applications.
