Releases: CXWorld/CapFrameX
CapFrameX v1.5.3
New features
- Added CPU performance per watt to metrics(requires records containing sensor data, GPU Perf/W following in later version)
- Added "GPU clock" and "Time in GPU load Limit" to sensor statistics (load limit showing the percentage of load values that indicate a GPU limit (>= 97%))
- Added "Start with Windows" and "Start minimized" to global options
- Added "Group control" option on "Overlay" page to quickly enable or disable entire groups of sensors to show on the overlay
- Added "Sort metric" option to "Comparison" page to sort bar charts depending on the chosen metric
- Added FPS graphs to "Comparison" page
- Added filters for FPS graphs to either show raw FPS data, an interval based average FPS trend or both graphs together
- Added "Cutting" button to the range slider on "Analysis" page to cut a record according to range slider placement and save it as a new file
- Added overlay options tab
- value limits and colors
- value and group font sizes
- group separators
- options to apply set values to same group or sensor type entries
- Added set to minimal OSD button
Enhancements
- Save button for overlay items list is now disabled as long as nothing was changed to better indicate the need to save
- Cloud download folder is now selectable as observed folder through a button next to the cloud directory setting
- FPS graphs are now automatically centered around their average line.
- First metric is now selectable on "Comparison" page
- Copy sensor statistics to clipboard through context menu
- Copy raw sensor values + times to clipboard through context menu
- Range Sliders can now also be controlled by typing in specific start and end times
- CPU, GPU and RAM as sortable columns of the record list
- Colorpickers now list the CX default colors as standard values
- Cleanup registry after uninstall
- Uploading logs after app crash to our server
- x% low metrics are now using the same calculation approach as MSI Afterburner
Bug fixes
- GPU power sensor was not available for Nvidia GPUs on some systems/drivers
- Sometimes a capture failed to be saved and after this the hotkey isn't working until a restart of CX
- Sometimes a change in hardware was falsely detected at startup, making the overlay items list out of order and some group names reverted back to default
- Drag and drop of overlay entries may cause inconsistent entry order
- Possible crash on startup with Windows 10
- Null exception when a sensor value is NULL
- AMD Vega cards 0 temperatures bug
Important notes
- To use the portable version the installer must run first to ensure all frameworks are installed.
- New x% low metrics are not compatible any longer with older versions. In case reviews were created with the old x% low metrics, they are not comparable with the new ones. If the recorded data is still available, the analyses can be recreated.
- The portable version has a larger file size because pdb-files are now included. The pdb-files help us to get more detailed log reports.
CapFrameX v1.5.2
New features
- Added sensor data support for Intel Comet Lake CPUs
- Added new items for overlay
- Real-time metrics (Avg, P1, P0.2, polling over last 30s)

- CPU max clockspeed
- API and presentation mode info in system info expander on "Analysis" page (saving detailed API info requires running RTSS)
- "Minimize" now sends CX to tray
- Option to save capture files in standard PresentMon CSV format together with the JSON files (just for manually analyzing raw data through the files, CX doesn't use these)
Enhancements
- Multi selection for drag & drop of overlay entries
- Observed directory automatically switches to the tree view root folder if you change it
Bug fixes
- Sensor graphs legend on "Analysis" page doesn't show color
- Possible crash when viewing OCAT files
- When saving single history runs together with aggregation, the last single run saved may get wrong time values
Notes
- Older overlay configs are no longer compatible. You have to reset the existing configs by pressing the reset button on the "Overlay" page. Don't forget to save the new configs.
- If you want to get the latest game names and ignore list items activate "Auto update list" on the Cloud page.
- Please help us and activate the option "Share new entries" on the Cloud page. This way we get updates for game names and ignore list entries.
