I have a dual pc setup - Firstly, everything works great and I think the settings that I have in place are pretty solid as the quality and sound seem to be all dialed in.

question: Is there a way to display the cpu useage of a particular .exe from the gaming pc to the streaming pc? If at all possible, I don't want to put something over the game on the gaming pc, but is there like a remote plugin that will allow me to capture a region from the gaming PC?

Thank you for any suggestions and the support.

with windows 7 professional or enterprise and up. you can remotely manage computers by right clicking on computer, (windows 8.1/10 just right click the start and click manage computer) click manage right click at the top where it says "computer manage (local)" then remote to another PC. you'll have to know the hostname or PC and credentials of the remote PC will somehow have to be handled (I do this at work with a domain). not sure if this is possible on workgroup PCs. next go down to performance monitor then add in CPU usage.

^this is a method without additional software. I'm sure there are many other ways to do this with 3rd party software.

You do this on a workgroup/in a non-AD environment by using local system credentials from the remote PC.

Thank you for this, I was able to follow the instructions and got it to work, can I pick out a certain .exe vs just the cpu?

Its windows perf monitor. you can actually monitor a lot of things, also as a shortcut, just press start and type in perfmon.exe then right click performance the same way you did before.

you really want to monitor everything since windows updates and other things can be running causing higher CPU usage...

I did do some poking around, but I didn't see a way to add any specific? The reason why, is that when I stream, I want to put up the game' .exe that I am playing, because when it gets to close to consuming a certain amount of ram, it will crash.

Just use available memory. press the green + then open memory tab.

Bets are on Kerbal Space Program. Only recent game to-memory that still has that problem, thanks to Unity. I used to have a memory alerter that would beep when a given process passed a threshold value, but that was a few years ago.

Can't seem to find the one I was using, but if you have a Windows version with Powershell, apparently that's able to do it. Here's a link to an email-alerter, shouldn't be hard to pull out the email alert and put in an audio alert instead:

Eh. Last time it was going to 64-bit that was going to fix everything. I'm not holding my breath at this point, given how well that's turned out (under Windows at least).
