Need some Equivilents

[Simmonz]

I dual boot Windows 7 Home with Linux Mint and every month use Linux more and more as I clear up my Windows backlog of games. I am still lacking some replacements to Fraps and MSI Afterburner though. I only use Fraps for seeing my FPS, I don't care about recording. Afterburner I use to overclock my GPU as well to see stats on GPU usage and VRAM usage. Any recommendations to Linux replacements ?

I've my 7970 flashed to boost to 1090|1500 as its regular boost. 1250 mV is BIOS set. That's good for up to 1230|1630. Let's assume I'm in the mood to run that. From the terminal:

aticonfig --od-enable

aticonfig --odsc 1230,1630 --adapter=0
aticonfig --odsc 1230,1630 --adapter=1
aticonfig --odsc 1230,1630 --adapter=2
aticonfig --odsc 1230,1630 --adapter=3

aticonfig --odgc

When I'd done:

aticonfig --odrd

or

aticonfig --odsc 1090,1500 --adapter=0
aticonfig --odsc 1090,1500 --adapter=1
aticonfig --odsc 1090,1500 --adapter=2
aticonfig --odsc 1090,1500 --adapter=3

aticonfig --odgc

or

aticonfig --od-disable

I'm noting this because your sig indicates you've a 7950. If you're not using indicator cpufreq install it and run performance when you game; sudo apt-get install indicator-cpufreq. If it doesn't work on the distro you're using open a terminal and cpupower frequency-set -g performance. When you're done gaming do the same but set ondemand or whatever you prefer.

I do not know of specific apps like Afterburner that run on Linux and someone else may.

BTW VBE7 will run on Linux through Wine.
